yeah, there is a viv contest every month! sarah heads them and then at the end of each month (the last week) everyone gets to vote on which tank they like the best. here is the link. just take the spaces out from between "pangea" and "reptile", and from between "." and "com"

http://www.pangea reptile. com/forums/showthread.php?t=16511

your tank sounds like it is going to be awesome! i am about to revamp my community tank pretty soon, let me know what happens with the mili i think that might get one!

Yep. Are you on pangea, Guido? Am I being dumb and not knowing and have spoken to you on there before? LOL. Sorry if I’m not quick on the uptake sometimes. =)

sorry been busy.. my name is Jenni... and just so you know if you go to Biddys pics she was a rescue when i first got her she was dehydrated, malnourished, seriously bad MBD to the point she had no bone mass showing in xrays a month after i got her after hand feeding her daily the diet mixed with alot of extra calclium, and she had gout(the swelling in the hind legs)

i was going to ask you about her, i saw that it said rescue on there, she looks alot like my girl izzey, she was the same way when i found her, when we took an x-ray, you couldn’t see any bones in her body. fortunately she is still alive, but she is horribly disfigured... she has a hunch back from when she had a few seizures due to calcium crash (one of the last stages in MBD) and her tail is all kinked up, she has almost no crests, will never get bigger than 25g’s, and still walks weird even though she has been brought through it, but she doesn’t seem to know that she is any different than the other girls. lol, she even tries to help out with digging the nests whenever saphron is getting ready to lay her eggs.

she was my first crested gecko, i had been doing some research on them for a couple of months and then when i saw her at petco i just knew there was something horribly wrong with her and had to get her out of there. here are some pictures of her.

yeah.. i wish biddy wouldda made it through but she didnt. though she made it about 6 months before she gave up.

i found her at one of the last reptile shows in streamwood IL. the guy was clueless as to how to take care of them. he was selling her a male(who was in good condition) and a screen cage for the best offer. she was more than likely no more than 10 months old and in with an adult male. he had them in a screen cage in the sunlight on a 90+ degree day. im just glad i decided to stop and take a good look one last time before i left cuz i know she wouldnt have made it through the rest of the show if i didnt. and at least she had a good last 6 months with someone who cared. its kinda funny cuz at the time, of course, i was so shocked that he would even try selling a gecko in that condition i couldnt think of anything to say other than ill take her just to get her outta there, and now that ive had plenty of time to think about it i have sooooo many things id say and go off on him about.. but ive never seen him around at any other shows after that

but yeah when i had her and she was feeling better she didnt think anything was wrong with her and even though she couldnt lift her body off the ground or anything she would still try to run and jump around. and even twords the end she was able to climb the side of her container a little bit. she was one of the best geckos i had/have

aww! that is SO SAD!!!! she sounds like she was a sweety!

yeah, i got my girl from petco (the vet actually told me that if i wanted to put her to sleep that i shouldn’t feel bad about it, but when i told him i wanted to at least try, he helped me out a lot!), and even though everyone talks really badly about them, i have three others who are very healthy and beautiful... she was probably in bad shape when she got there and then just not given the best treatment which made it worse...

my friends and i have had a few bad experiences with breeders as well... how some people can treat these animals the way that they do makes me sick sometimes! i just can’t believe it, and you know, or hope, that they wouldn’t treat a dog or a cat like that! i don’t know, some probably would...

Here are a few other pics you can use...

Just for fun...



This one is one I’m unsure of the morph on any help would be great, I’m kind of stumped. She is kind of a buckskin but her dorsal and blushing traits are why I get her. Her dorsal looks like she has a braid running down her back to me. Her name is Sakura.





I’ll get some more on Sunday night, I hope. =)

you know, i might be wrong about this, but she kind of looks like a very faint flame morph! that is the first thing that came to my mind with those pictures.

Shes a hard one, I know. I think I’m just gonna call her a patternless or buckskin to make life EZ. I’m working on some more pictures now. LOL, sorry its taking me a bit, I forgot that yesterday was mothers day and I got home from work to find I had movies and dinner and such waiting. It was a nice surprise. =)

hahahaha! thats funny and sweet! my mom and my sister got in a huge fight because my sisters dad is psychotic(REALLY long story!), so i had to play moderator and try to smooth things over so that my sister wouldn’t just take her kids and leave... but it all worked out, i ended up going to get a cake and surprising them with it when they came back, so that was good!

i will be putting more pictures on the website soon, just took some pics of my other cages. look at what i found! each container is almost six gallons, and there are ten sections, so i am going to knock out the middle, and turn two of them into 24 gallons, and then have one of them be a 12 gallon for hatchlings... i am soooo excited!!!!!! lol now all i have to do is figure out what to cut plexi glass with...

anyways here it is, it was a display case for fossil and they were throwing it away!!!!

lol, it was one of those dumpster dive finds! hahaha, my boyfriend works right next to the fossil store in the outlet, and he called me while taking out the trash like "HONEY GET UP HERE RIGHT NOW!!!! I think that this would be perfect for your lizards!!!!" They had just gotten new display cases, and were just throwing them away. i would have picked both of them up, but one was really cracked on the bottom, so i don’t think i could have used it even if i had gotten it... but i am super excited!!!

Oh wow thats nice! Only problem I see with it ..well 2. One, lighting the cages near the bottom and air holes but besides that great find just need a little work is all. Post pictures when you get it set up!!!

K so I did a few pictures of a few of my babies tonight. I was messing around with the program and did the white background thing...not sure if I like it. What do you think? Should I keep it or change it back?


This one is a red harly or red flame. He is over 5 months old so his color wont be changing at all but I have seen harlys turn out to be flames over time....




This is Leo a bit bigger than the last one.




Gotta go...

BTW, what do you still need pictures of...oh and I noticed the pictures of the "fired up and not fired up" are a little messed up on your page? Is it because they were such a big file, do you want me to size them down a little for you?

hey do you want a picture of a rubbermade bin enclosure? i have a nice one set up for the adult male crestie im getting soon. its an affordable cage idea for people that want to get more than one but cant afford to get expensive cages for them all.

ill also post some pics of Zazu and the new male that i am getting soon, if you want

sorry it took me so long guys, i was trying to reply til like 4am and my comp kept messing everything up... i don’t know whats wrong with it! anyways...

guido, that would be great! lol, and thank you for signing my guest book!


Sarah, i know that the air thing is going to be an issue, i am planning on drilling holes throughout the the sides, and maybe putting a little section of screen in each door to help with air flow (and it will make it easy to spray!). it will be alot of work and testing before it is ready, but i am not planning on putting anyone in there until mid-late july anyways because i am going to be moving, and it would just be dumb to set it all up with plants and everything only to break it all down again in the next couple of months... but as far as the light goes, i was thinking i would use an over head light to do the day and night cycles or put it in a room that gets some good sunlight, and just getting "indoor" plants that do well in shade. i already have to do this with my male, and the plants all do great, and to be honest he seems to be growing alot more and faster than my other guys...

as far as picks go, really i still need anything that you would be willing to throw my way. i need patternless, bi-color (i have a red bi-color but i can’t catch it on the camera) major dalmations, "blues", "greens"... prety much anything lol

thas awesome!!! no i don’t have a pic of the blushing trait yet, he sounds really cool, and how is zazu? hs the vet said anything about the fecals?

oh, do you think i could use the pic of the worms that you took? if so that would be cool, i will have to re-read exactly what type of worms they were tough. they werent the ones that are transferred by crickets are they? i am so bad with names and such!

i havent gotten a fecal to the vet yet. the vet said they are pinworms. someone told me that he probably got them from crickets but the vet said its extremely unlikely.

yeah you can use the picture of the worms. here ill post it again.

here it is.



and here are 2 links to pictures of the new gecko im getting. dont use any of these pictures. they arent mine to let you use. but ill get my own pics of him once he comes.

Link Link


oh and here are some really good ones of zazu that show his 2 extremes between not fired up at all and really fired up and one pic in the middle.

not fired up at all:



a little bit fired up:



really fired up:



the color may be off a little in the first 2 because the wall that you can see a bit of on the right side is blue. i think there is a little too much yellow in the picture. so you see what i mean here is another picture that you can see the same bit of wall as in the 2 close ups. this one has better color. maybe if we altered the close up pics by changing how much yellow is in them (can you do that?) untill the wall turns the right color blue it would be a better comparison. or you can just use them how they are.(if your looking for him, he is near the top right corner hanging on the wall)



and here is 1 picture of a rubbermade bin that will be where the new gecko will live. it is completed yet and ill take more pics of it to show how i did it later. but here is the one pic i have of it so far.

yes they help alot! thank you! i love both the soon to be new guy, and zazoo, s/he is so beautiful! sorry it is taking me so long to reply, i was out all day looking for furniture and getting ready for my mini vacation this weekend... lol, i think i am going to need a vacation to recover from it all

anyways, i just tried to get the pic to correct the blue wall, and it wasn’t working out too well, i will try and work on it some more tomorrow on a different program though before i leave, and if i don’t post the results tomorrow evening, i will post them on Monday evening and ask you if you think it is any better.

thank you guys for so much help, i’m sorry it has been taking me longer to reply this week, things have just been crazy around here, and i thought i would have a little time to relax since school let out, but it is more like i hit the ground running because i have so many other things that i still have to do concerning school and living arrangements and such i feel even more burnt out now than when i was cramming for my finals! but hopefully the beach will help clear my mind a little this week end... lol, it better, it’s a 5 hour drive and gas isn’t cheap!

lol, i just got to a computer not too long ago, but here are the pictures that i doctored up a little bit. i didn’t really change the colors because my computer doesn’t have that program, i just messed with the hue and saturation a little bit. let me know what you think

here is the one that i messed with




Here is the other original
