Untamed Reptiles

Dearest Diary, I know it's been a while, but I have still been plagued by the REPTILE WORLD. One day, a few months ago, I was minding my business like I always do. Earlier the week I was trying to clean down a large white fence, so obviously I needed my J. Crew boots in order to properly accomplish this task.  My J Crew Rain Boots are not only stylish, but they come up high enough so that if I step on anything scary, I will only be passed out maybe for a few hours. They serve as a compromise with a scary world. Snakes can't get me, lizards, spiders, ants, FROGS, and let's just end the list here because this torture is really unnecessary. So I'm cleaning the fence with my J. Crew boots. Talia is my trusty helper. We got a lot done. Leaving the patio, I decide to let my boots stay outside to dry off. I felt a bit odd about doing that. Wasn't sure why, but I did.  On the other side of the house, I requested that my husband kindly ask the awesome guys that w...

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...

When I got my first leopard gecko I expected him to love me straight away. But I was completely wrong. My gecko was very scared of me and I made a mistake that didn't help the situation. I was so excited to meet him I opened the box to let him come out on my hand and he ran out under my bed. It wasn't very safe because I had many workout equipment parts that could have hurt him. I got him out safe but it was so stressful. I thought he would never love me and he would always be scared but I can ensure you that it wont always be like that.   The first thing you should do is let your gecko settle in when your first getting it for at least 2-3 days. Start with placing your hand in the tank every day for 10-15 mins once in the morning once at night. trust me they will start to get curious what you are and don't be alarmed if they start to lick you. This is normal behavior they lick to find out what you are with sensory receptors. Once they fully step up on you slowly lift them...
