Geckos of the day!

i will be posting interesting, or funny, or cute gecko pictures daily!

Albino geckos

Albino geckos are white and commonly have red eyes. Personely, I don't really like them that much... They are kinda creepy, (shudder). But if you want one thats fine with me heres a picture of one

Telling them apart.

To tell a female from a male look at the beginning of their tail. If there are two lumps it's a male, but if there aren't any it's a female. If they are babies, wait till they mature a little.

Hunting

When a gecko hunts, they might wiggle their tail very fast as they are about to strike. They are nocternal so they will eat more at night.

Tail loss

Geckos may throw their tail off if a predetor is attacking them or someone handles a gecko waaaayy to much. There are special muscles in the geckos tail that let them throw their tails. Once discarded, the tail will wiggle, destracting the prey. And so, the gecko lives, and the predetor gets a little snack so all is well. =-] They will then grow a tail back usually in 19 weeks

...... What we talking about?

I've decieded to give you updates on my pregnant gecko so I'll be posting about her once in a while. She seems to be getting ready to lay her eggs now so I wait in great anticipation. Wish her luck! =]

Females

Females don't require as much work, costs more money because you need to buy them food more often then males. Females need to be fed often, keep them fat, and they should grow up strong. They let you handle them more, so if you want to sit around snuggling or whatever you want to do, I would suggest a female.

Raising males

Raising males is a little harder than females. They are more fisty and energetic. Females on the other hand are usally calm. Males usually don't become as fat as females either. Males sometimes need exersise. To do this just play with them. Make them run, ware them out, and then you should have a healthy gecko.

Just a heart breaking story.....

I decided to give you a little break so I will tell you about one of my geckos. I have three geckos, one male and two females. The males name is Zack and one of the females names is Ally, the other, Crocky. Anyway this story is about Crocky. When I first got my geckos five years ago, Their cage was filled with artifitial sand. In the wild geckos can eat sand if they are not getting enough nutrients. Poor little Crocky was bieng bullied by Ally so she did not get enough food. So, she decieded to eat some sand. :/ So then we noticed that she was skinny all the time. We took her to the vet and they did an X-ray of her and found that she was clogged with the artifitial sand! So they Put a tube in her mouth and........ the other...... in her....... butt.... He He... Couple days later the vet were almost done when they gave her one last dose of medicine and..... She coughed it up and......... died.... The vet quikly took one tube and gave her mout to mouth with a tube!! She then came back to life!! She is old and weak now but she is hanging in there!

sheding

Geckos like humans, shed. Just a little faster. Sheding is also called molting. If u notice your gecko's skin is a ghostly white then soke it in warm water and if you want, you can help it out a little and do most of the shedding. If not then place something rough in there cage like a rock, and they will do it them selves. But remember to check their toes because if molt stays on their toes to long then they will lose their toe nails.

lets cover the basics

Have you noticed your gecko lifting it's head up tall and stiff?
This is called, ALERTING. Geckos alert when they are scared. The purpose is to alert other geckos of a threat. Geckos will most likely alert when you are around. Don't feel bad cause you think your gecko doesn't like you, it's just their instincts.

Handling and caring for babies

Babies need to be fed EVERYDAY it is very important that you feed them every day or else they will starve. Your baby gecko will be a handfull because they are so tiny and easy to lose. Once your gecko gets bigger it will stay stripped until a certain age, then it's strippes gradually turn into dots. When your gecko has dots instead of strippes it means it has finnaly reached adult hood.

Breeding part 3

Once your gecko has hatched give it a name. Now remember babys need to be fed EVERYDAY.

Breeding Part 2

Now if your gecko is pregnant she should lay her eggs in a couple of weeks to months, but be prepared, have an incubater ready when you notice your gecko is pregnant she can lay them at any time. You can tell if an egg is good if it feels like a stale marshmellow, you can tell if its bad if it is'nt really puffed.
Don't get discouraged if your first few eggs die. You can tell if an egg is dead if it starts to turn yellow or golden brown. Set the incubater for 80 to 84 degres for a male and 85 to 89 for a female. Females are easier to breed. I would breed more females because you only realy need one male.

Breeding

Alright, I will make a few posts on this subject. First, you need a male and a female gecko. Then you need to put them in the same cage, but watch them. If the male bites the female don't be scared, this is natural. If the female fites back then seperate them. You can tell if the male is attempting to mate when he wiggles his tale around very fast. Watch them the entire time. Once they are done mating just seperate them and within a few days or weeks your female will be pregnant. You can tell if there are two red lumps or marks on your females belly. Feel free to leave comments.

Thank you

Sicknesses

I unfortanutly do not no to much about sicknesses. I can recognize if a gecko is not bieng fed enough and is not in good shape from not bieng fed enough. I am sorry if your gecko is sick if you are not sure you can leave a comment. If you have noticed your gecko behaving oddly please tell me and I'll help you as much as I can, just leave a comment and I will get back to you through the comment box as soon as I can.


Thank you

First off

Do not buy a gecko if you plan to harrase it. If you buy a gecko then you will want to buy them food. They eat crickets, wax worms, meal worms, pinky mice, and depending on their size, pioson removed scorpions.
Once you buy food just let the crickets or whatever you bought into your geckos cage. Your gecko should begin to eat. If they do not finish the crickets then put them in a cricket hotel. You can buy one at your local pet store. I will add posts and check my comments frequently. But like I said, this is my first blog so please have patience.

Thank you

Welcome to my blog! Hope you enjoy it!
