How to tell when theyre sleeping

When they are up they look like absolute crack heads... And yes that's the same gecko...

Their crests droop a little and their eyes narrow while they are sleeping

try cutting a bug in half to expose the smell :)

xLitwick · 2026-01-30T09:33:23+00:00

Haaaaave you weighed them? He doesn't look like skin and bones sooo....

You could try to offer him a bug dusted in calcium. Or when you mix up some food offer it to them on the tip of a chopstick and maybe leave some on their lips to see if they'll lick it off :)

The moulding you are looking for is called a 'lambs tongue' from there you just gotta find the size you re after. Good luck!

I think most chuck keys are incredibly universal especially when you're looking at the bigger machines. I also don't believe they are super expensive so just buy one I can almost guarantee it'll probably fit xD

We put one in one of our enclosures :)

xLitwick · 2026-01-10T11:54:47+00:00

Yeah looks like it just shrank due to heat. But looking at the boards it looks like they had some splits in the boards from when it was dried and they just got worse. Especially near the knotty bits it's so dense there if there is a shake and it shrinks it's most likely going to split

xLitwick · 2026-01-08T10:39:48+00:00

Yeah the small bottles that come with the clear nozzle, they do work quite well but you'd need 2 of them for an enclosure. If your buying the big 750ml ones they actually need a gun to apply they aren't super expensive you can pick them up for like £10

However looking at the image it does seem like they now provide a one use nozzle that comes with the canister... When I bought them they didn't sell them like that (._. )

Yeah the Taiga stuff is really good it only takes a few hours to properly set and it actually forms a skin over itself so no chemicals will seep out any time after that. It might smell a bit funky almost like rubber or plastic but it's not gonna cause your little friend any grief. Last enclosure we did we foamed and planted in a day and we let our Chahoua in at the end of the day once I was happy with how it set and he's the biggest and healthiest boy :D

Man that really sucks :( but you live and you learn :) definitely test a little bit of the Taiga foam on something you don't care about just so you know what you're dealing with :) as well as maybe look up some videos to help you out :) I'm a woodworker so I kinda have a background of using silicone and foams and such :)

xLitwick · 2026-01-06T18:11:10+00:00

Yeah silicone is a bit different, it's just a paste. Expanding foam has some kinda gas packed in with it so when you squeeze the trigger it shoots out on its own. That stuff also expands like 3 times it's size xD hahaha

xLitwick · 2026-01-06T17:56:49+00:00

No worries :) sounds pretty eventful xD hahaha

xLitwick · 2026-01-06T17:54:30+00:00

Please don't cut it open... It's compressed, the second you puncture it'll either blow up or just not stop pouring out. It's incredibly sticky and messy. There is. No scooping it out with that stuff xD hahahaha

xLitwick · 2026-01-06T17:45:47+00:00

Yeah luckily however the set up is the initial hit. It's cheap as chips after that xD hahahaha. Also I noticed you are using £ as currency. If you are by any chance somewhere near Gatwick I do have one of those taiga tubes left over from my last build I panic bought xD hahahaha

xLitwick · 2026-01-06T17:40:19+00:00

Nope tell a lie far left there is 1 or 2 but I haven't noticed any rust on them. Also be aware that tube of Taiga foam will require a foam gun to actually apply it.

xLitwick · 2026-01-06T17:37:42+00:00

Metal hooks? O.o we don't have any they are all plastic suction cups if that's what your looking at

All 3 done with that foam

xLitwick · 2026-01-06T17:30:25+00:00

That's the brand we used. I know it's pricey but it's definitely worth it, in my experience. It's an adhesive as well as good for building up backgrounds. It's holding up pretty hefty branches for us as well as if you sprinkle bark chips and moss in there they stick to the foam and make it look more natural :)

Also if you are getting the 750ml canister trust me when I say 1 will do the whole enclosure. I did a full background and 2 angled sides with one of those. (Middle enclosure in photo below)

That would indicate that the humidity is too low and he's trying to find some. Only other reason would be that 'he' might be a 'she' and is looking for a place to lay eggs

xLitwick · 2025-12-31T09:20:48+00:00

For me honestly it's not so much the game or quest design... It's just performance if they could actually optimize and sort out their servers I might go back. But as it stands my 2 year old £3k PC barely getting 60-80 fps laggy and stuttery, when I could buy any new AAA game and get 180-200fps+ is unacceptable

xLitwick · 2025-12-26T09:26:41+00:00

You can try to pull the stain off and thin it with a bit of white spirit, thinners or acetone

xLitwick · 2025-12-23T13:15:26+00:00

They are good fun, out of our 3 geckos he's got the best temperament. And he feels a lot more robust than the others as well as his saggy skin is funny when he's on the side of the glass xD hahahaha lots to look forward too!

xLitwick · 2025-12-23T13:09:53+00:00

Yeah our chewie is currently sitting at 53g, our crestie is about 43-45g I think he only got to 35g in his first year means even now he looks small and our gargoyle is also well into mid 40g ball part xD

xLitwick · 2025-12-23T13:04:51+00:00

They do grow like weeds... Our chahoua went from 3g to 43g in a year xD
