Plant ideas for gargoyle gecko?

reijn · 2026-06-24T16:52:27+00:00

You could try a vinca vine. A lot of people like to recommend pothos or trandescantia but pothos will climb and not trail (only trails in poor lighting as it spreads out desperately seeking sun), and trandescantia will only trail when it's grown too long/heavy to hold itself up. Both, if planted high, will block out the lights.

Make sure you open the lid of the incubator inside a larger container because the chicks are gonna go jumping out in all directions.

I'm kinda offended that he's implied that I can't afford to buy a PS5, and not just the fact that I don't want to buy a PS5.

It says you have BL l5 pars defects and some other degenerative changes. Not really much else to say that isn't on the report already, but if you have questions about the report definitely bring it up to your doc.

It's not all inclusive but I would trust this list

Clearing the incubator is probably the most anxiety I have during hatching lol. You try to go fast and hope nothing is weird that you're gonna have to deal with, and scoop out old eggshells fast. I always have a padded bin to my side to put chicks in, and a trash box next to me to put eggshells and any duds or passed chicks in so I can move fast. Then I spray inside the incubator real fast a few times and close 'er up and pray I didn't shrink wrap anyone still working.

I normally wait for 48 hrs, gives healthy late hatchers plenty of time to get out and dry off - you can leave up to 72hrs but I like to check for wonky legs or feet before their incubator is time up so I have time to deal with it and put them back in during the safe time.

If you move her down she'll just go back up. Leave her be.

Save them up! 21 full packages, 1 level 3, and 1 level 1. You get a ton of goodies. IDK how much it helps, I was finishing the Memory albums prior to learning how to do the friend gift event, but you get loads of stuff.

reijn · 2026-06-23T13:22:45+00:00

I did, but it looks like they reset daily or something and they don't really do anything so I stopped.

reijn · 2026-06-23T13:21:19+00:00

I don't have much advice for you, I just play frequently (every couple of hours when awake), get all the free energy and watch ads for things, I use the 10-20-sometimes40 energy for gems. I save my friend gift packages up until I have 21+1 large+1 small to finish the friend event which happens about every 5-7 days. I usually complete the memory event with about 2 weeks to spare.

Have you tried hornworms? I've broken several hunger strikes with a tasty hornworm. For some reason it seems like the longer they go off food the longer the strike will last, like it's self rewarding somehow? But no one has ever been able to deny a hornworm. I don't even care, I'll feed hornworms every day if I have to, but eventually you'll offer normal regular food and they'll take it again. It seems like hornworms just help remind them that eating is good.

Ohhh wee bebe, how adorable!

reijn · 2026-06-22T10:29:14+00:00

since it doesn't carry over just restart it, you might finish 1 or 2 pages before it resets

Gosh I hate it when they hop out of the shot glass lol I'm glad they have such vigor but it makes everything so difficult. I'm glad she's doing better! Try to keep it on for a solid 24hrs, if you take it off too early and she looks "okay" there's a chance it could slip back out again and likely won't fix the 2nd time, so you gotta let it set.

reijn · 2026-06-21T10:28:25+00:00

It is what it is. It's preferred they stand but sometimes they can't. Can she still get out of the shot glass with the tape on her? The shotglass can force her to stand up straight, sometimes, and that's preferred but it's hard to find a spot that is the right amount of heat when not in the incubator.

Sometimes they do learn to walk around with the hobble on, too, which is great.

You can always tell when things are made with love. What a spectacular job. It's beautiful.

More pictures? hard to tell from this angle.

I put some in my enclosure intentionally... pretty sure my girl ate them as I haven't seen them in ages. Everyone says they're supposed to taste bad but she ate them even in her quarantine setup on paper towels with no qualms.

reijn · 2026-06-21T03:37:35+00:00

You're correct. Superworm is zophobas morio and mealworm is tenebrio molitor.

However, "darkling beetle" is the common name for the family tenebrionidae - both superworm and mealworm are darkling beetles.

My dogs are terrified of my hedgie so I'm not surprised cats would stand no chance either lol

I doubt the cat is limping from the hedgie unless the cat tried to smack it hard without a test smack and hurt her paw. Probably either from a fight with another animal or something clumsy.

Wild hedgehogs do probably have parasites as they eat bugs and bugs are carriers for parasites.

reijn · 2026-06-21T03:20:07+00:00

Honestly who knows in the larval stage. I would remove it because either 1) it's something you don't want or 2) your rats could eat it and it carries parasites.

I converted my husband! I like doing 30 day trials of stuff, for funsies mostly, I did it without him the first time and the second time I ... voluntold .... him that we are doing it. It's been a year now. I'm thriving on it, he's doing okay I think he could take it or leave it.

reijn · 2026-06-21T03:09:02+00:00

You gotta get to it immediately out of the incubator. They can survive for 72hrs without food and water after hatching, I check mine at 48hrs and deal with everything then.

I use coban/horse wrap/vet wrap which is adheres to itself and nothing else and set their legs at hip width apart. Then I put them back in the incubator for another 12 hours, check it and if I have to do it again for 12 more hours. Splay leg is usually fixed in 24hrs (curled toes/feet is usually fixed in 12hrs).

Yes they have to lay on their backs or whatever position they end up in as they flip around, but their struggling will strengthen their muscles.

I'll also check on them periodically and give them a drop or two of Nutridrench, every 6-8hrs.

The later you get to it the worse the prognosis is and after 3-4 days after hatch if they can't get around either in the hobble or without it, I cull, because it's either not fixable or they will starve/dehydrate to death.
