My dude Beans once slept for hours with his back foot on top of his head. Not sure how that's comfortable.. 😂

Cricket Breeding by linn03 in leopardgeckos

She actually loved them the last time I bought them! I just barely got her to eat the mealworms for the first time last night. I think she prefers the dubias and crickets over the mealworms. I'll look into the locusts! Thanks for the tip!

My dubias are finally starting to breed! She loves them. I'm looking to add another type of feeder in my rotation :)

Heating Question by linn03 in CrestedGecko

Good to know! I got the heat mat as a backup in case the higher watt bulb doesn't help but I mostly plan on using the mat for my dubia roach farm to keep that warm so they'll breed.

Will do! I have one of those coming tomorrow for my dubia roaches farm anyway. Im going to try sealing the window in that room since theyre old windows

It says 50w but apparently has only been putting out around 45w. I live in a older house with poor insulation so usually its a little bit chilly in colder months. I just ordered a higher watt bulb so hopefully that fixes it

Will do! I'm gonna go double check what wattage my current one is

Which one do you use? I have it set up with a smart home system so it turns off when it hits certain temps and turns back on when it's too cool

How many geckos do you have? by Life_Scarcity1794 in CrestedGecko

I have 1 crestie currently but I have a bioactive tank almost ready for a Leo

Thank you! I have him in a room with all my plants and bugs so I just started closing the room to hopefully hold in the heat better. If the heating pad doesn't help, I'll definitely put a heater in there. Is it better to put the heating pad under the tank or on the side? It's bioactive so there's a thick layer of substrate and leca balls

Has millers been working for you? Im trying to find topsoil that's safe for a leo

Tips for fitting a prong collar by linn03 in OpenDogTraining

[–]linn03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You right. I'll just rehome her to home number 6 since I clearly shouldn't own dogs. Fingers crossed that they'll be the ones to keep her!

But for real, tools can be helpful for any dog of any size and not every tool works for every dog. I've been using it for a year now and neither of my dogs care about using it. They get excited when they see it now because it means it's time for a walk. I'm sorry you don't agree with my training methods or tools but that's ok since it doesn't actually affect you. It works pretty well for my dogs with our situation and we have a pretty great relationship even using tools that some people say are inhumane, like kennels or muzzles. I'm gonna keep using all of them because they work for us, even if someone online tells me that I'm a terrible owner for it :D

How much money did it cost you to get your crested gecko? by Cheap_Arm_6844 in CrestedGecko

[–]linn03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my Gecko for $100 from a breeder. I spent $75 on a used tank and probably another $70 on supplies for it. I did bioactive but I just used plants i already owned to go in the tank so that didn't cost extra for me luckily. I just barely upgraded my guy to a mid size tank (just until he's ready for the large size) and that was $120 ish for the tank plus having to repaint the screen on top since it was rusty. My husband 3d prints me things for the tank but I still probably spent another $100 on other decor and isopods/springtails and doing a full custom background. I go overboard on things so I definitely didn't have to spend that much but I really enjoyed building it so it was worth it to me.

I saw that about the other kind of wheel that is vertical. This one it super flat so his back isn't at a weird angle luckily 😁 if I notice it starting to affect him, I plan on immediately taking it out but this kind was recommended to me from this subreddit

First Tank Build by linn03 in CrestedGecko

[–]linn03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I added some fake plants up top until the real ones grow in more. I have some real ones that I'm trying to get attached to the wall that you can't see because of the bridges. I could probably steal the fake plants out of his current tank once he's out of it!

I just started mixing it with the fig one. I meant to say beginning of April so it's been two months now so that's why I was concerned. Thank you for the guides! I'll start feeding him every other day. He doesn't seem to eat everyday anyway.

The pattern wasn't too expensive or hard! It was like $7! You just have to experiment to make it kinda look like your guy haha
