My Daughter Ordered Roaches Online: A Reptile Mom's Plea

Hey Loves, it's been too long since my last post. I have been pretty busy with work, but I need to journal my thoughts on this new development. So about 10 days ago, I was seeing emails about roaches. My first thought was "ewww". I'm pretty sure that's a word.  Anyways...I ignored it and continued working. The next development was when my reptile daughter (Tal) decided to fund her purchase (aka dad). She and her dad (wisely) kept me out of the loop on this purchase. Later that week I ask her if she knows anything about roaches coming to the house. She mumbles something that I didn't make the time to follow up on. So I go on with my day.  Last week Friday, Tal and I decide to take a walk in a park that we had never been--and then get some lunch.  We're eating lunch at the park when she receives a call. It's her dad. Lots of exciteme nt (I know nothing about what's so exciting).    She begins to pack up her lunch, "come on mom--gotta go". I...

As reptile owners we try to find ways to enrich our reptiles so that they can have fun and a good living space. Personally I believe that the bare necessity's are never what you should strive for.

Many reptiles enjoy using hammocks to rest and bask on. You dont even need to buy one,you can make one yourself ! I notice my geckos like hammocks with pockets in them for them to crawl and sleep in. There are many videos online that you can watch to make one yourself. You don't have to spend a lot of money on them either. You can use an old t-shirt or a sock. you could also get a magnetic reptile ledge but those are a bit pricey.  Not many people know this but reptiles love digging. ...

maintaining a healthy weigh for your leopard gecko

Here specifically we’re going to be talking about leopard geckos. Keep in mind many other geckos have this problem though. Female leopard geckos lay eggs regardless if they have been breed or not. For some people it’s frustrating because It’s hard to keep a steady weight. With leopard geckos it’s very important to keep their tails nice and chunky and to do that you need to keep them feed with a consistent schedule. Here’s a couple pointers if your having problems with getting weight on them. DIET Many people use meal worms and crickets although these are the most easy to find staples they aren’t the best possible staples you  can use. Crickets have carotene in their exoskeleton which makes it hard for your gecko to digest. Crickets have also been known to carry parasites and aren’t even the most nutritious for all the work you have to put in to keep them. The best thing to do is to feed them nutritious insects in replace of the less nutritious insects. Many people have concluded...
