Yellow Crested Gecko Picture

I'm a huge fan of bright yellow and orange crested geckos. I've had a few babies this year that I've held back, and plan on waiting till next year to decide what I'm going to do with them.

I've recently purchased a new yellow crested gecko female that I hope will be a nice addition to my yellow group.This girl has a few spots, brindle patterns, and a gorgeous golden yellow color. She'll go great with my male, which is a partial pinstripe with spotting.

As you can see I'm not only a fan of yellow, but I'm a fan of yellow crested geckos with pattern.





Dwane Nimmer is awesome!

New P.I. Chahoua Geckos

After playing around with a few new geckos and a random light bulb that I found in the reptile room, I snapped a few shots. These aren't the best, but it's not that easy to keep a light bulb with a gecko on it still. Neither of these two chahoua geckos have names yet, so I'm up for suggestions; when giving suggestions for gecko names, please keep in mind that I currently have Tag, Nimz, Skittles, Veyron, and Sahara. I don't generally pick reptile names based on themes.

Gecko 1 - Dervish (Name to Change. Name that was used on the breeder's website)



Gecko 2 - Honeyduke (Name to Change. Name that was used on the breeder's website)


Both geckos were purchased from Erica at Crown Jewel Reptiles.

After uploading the pictures, I'm considering renaming Honeyduke to Pixel, as every picture that I took of him, his markings looked like bad pixels. Time will tell if the name sticks.

Langley the New Leachianus Gecko



Here's my newest leachianus baby. He's a temp-sexed male, but it will be a few months, at least, for me to be able to attempt to sex him. Currently, Langley is about 3 weeks old and teeny tiny.

Both Quinby and Milo were small when I got them, but Langley is crazy small.

This leachianus gecko baby is a GT Type B, which is why I'm really hoping for a male. I have had trouble finding GT Type B leachies that I like, much less males or possible males.

I have Quinby, who was supposed to be a male, but was easily sexed as a female when she arrived in her UPS box last year.

Anyway, I was having fun with geckos and light bulbs, so I thought I'd show off Langley.

Your Trash Causes Turtle Deformities


It's very important that you reduce waste, utilize recycling benefits, toss trash that can't be recycled into a trash can or garbage bin, and rethink how you dispose your waste.

When you throw out your old McDonald's cup and burger wrapper, you really can't comprehend what you're doing to the environment and the animals within it. You're not giving prisoners something to do. You are creating deformed animals, sick animals, dead animals, and a bad environment for everyone.

Before you discard your trash, make sure that you consider the animals and environment around you. When you toss out 6 pack rings and any other type of ring, make sure that you cut them so that they no longer create an enclosed area.

When a small turtle swims or climbs through the ring, get stuck, which will inhibit proper growth as their exoskeletons grow around the ring. Fish, mammals, and birds ingest these plastic rings, causing digestion blocks and death.

Your pollution harms sea and all water life.

Corkbark for Sale


I have this extra-large piece of cork bark available for sale. It was much larger than I had intended, and I don't feel like cutting it into smaller pieces.

The piece measures about 4.5" at the shortest point and 8" at the tallest point. The inner core is about 7", excluding the actual bark.

I'm asking $15 for this piece. Shipping is additional.

Repashy Seller


I just wanted to remind everyone how great the Repashy Superfoods line of products is for Rhacs and other animals.

Recently, there have been additions to the line, to include Bug Burger and Hydro-Load, which are both great products when rearing your own feeder insects.

Also, keep in mind that more chameleon and day gecko breeders are starting to introduce Repashy meal replacement into the diet of their animals.

There are new flavors to include peach, mango, fig, and banana. If you're not sure how your rhacodactylus will like these flavors, the original, strawberry-banana, is still offered.

I try to keep stock in original CGD, but I also try to keep a few flavors, such as strawberry, mango, and peach. I'm going to start keeping stock in the Repashy Super Hatch, as well as the calcium and vitamin supplements.

I try to keep competitive prices for all prices.

Red For Tortoises for Sale

I am having to downsize my collection a little. I have two tortoises that I'm willing to sell to a good home. One is a northern red foot, and the other is a Brazilian cherryhead red foot tortoise.

I'm not too happy about having to downsize my tortoise collection, but I'm trying to downsize all of my reptile collection. I've recently sold one of my leachianus geckos to a good home in Birmingham, Alabama. I will soon begin selling a chahoua or two, as well as a few breeding crested geckos. I am holding back most of what 2010 and 2011 crested geckos I have left.

First is Queenie, the temp-sexed female red foot tortoise. She hatched 1/22/11.
$100




The Brazilian is un-named. It is not temp-sexed for any particular gender; hatched on 2/15/11. I will  get a better picture upon request. The tortoise would not come out of its shell, but you can see the red coloring of the legs and head.
$150
 I prefer a local pick-up, but I will drive half-way, up to 2 hours for a confirmed sale. I would rather not ship tortoises.
