Light Box Pictures of Adult Crested Geckos

I took several pictures of some of my rhacs. I'll be featuring many of the pictures in an album at my table in January at Repticon in Atlanta. These are just a few of the pictures that I took.

I haven't used my light box in some time, but I'd have to say these are some of the best pictures that I've gotten with my light box.

I will try to post the pictures that I took of my leachianus and chahoua geckos, but for now, here are a few crested geckos and my gargoyle gecko. I will try to get upload a few of the holdback crested geckos that I am keeping from this year.

For some reason, I don't take too many pictures of my gargoyle gecko. Armor is such a pretty red retic gargoyle. I would love to find him a female one day. I am just not sure if I really want to get into breeding gargoyles again. My first trio wasn't very prolific, laying just one egg that resulted in Armor.

Again, these pictures and more will be in an album at my table at the Atlanta Repticon show this upcoming January.

Light Box Pictures of Holdbacks

These pictures are a little dark, but I think they're pretty good with my first shot at my light box in over a year.

These pictures are of a few of my holdbacks. I have other holdback quality geckos that I will be offering for sale at the Atlanta Repticon show in January.

Dubia Roaches as Feeders

Dubia roaches make great feeder insects as long as they are appropriately sized for the gecko. These roaches can get rather big, so you wouldn't want to feed an adult dubia roach to a leopard gecko.

It takes only a few of these roaches to subside the hunger of a reptile when compared to crickets.

When breeding dubia roaches, I found that my geckos loved them. I did not.

I ended up feeding off my younger roach nymphs before they were old enough to reproduce. My dubia colony was great while it lasted, but I needed something that was easier for me. I ended up selling off and feeding off my entire collection.

For many, though, dubia roaches are the ultimate feeder. They are great for crested geckos, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, and most other insect eating reptiles.

They are a heavy body roach, but the nymphs are softer, which make them fine for younger reptiles.

These roaches are not available for all states. I am not sure of the full list,but I know that Florida has strict laws on dubia roaches and other species of insects. Before ordering your feeder roaches, make sure to check the state laws. Some insect sellers, will specify on their websites to which states they will not sell certain roach species.

When trying to find the best feeder insect for your reptiles, definitely consider dubia roaches. You may be pleasantly surprised as to how well your reptiles like them. Just remember that offering appropriate sizes to your reptiles is very important.

happy holidays

We at goReptiles hope you all have had a happy holiday.

Look forward for pictures if my reptile related stuff. Cool welcome mat, necklace, and pond float.


(My mom fails to remember we dont have a pond. Guess that means I will have to make one when I buy a house, hopefully this upcoming year)

Mealworm Pictures

I took these shots a week or so ago, and just now have a minute to post them. They are pretty neat, in my opinion.

These are baby mealworms. It only takes minutes to completely skin an apple.

I've tried breeding mealworms in the past, but ended up finding a better staple diet. I have decided to try them again in order to add them to my diet as a supplement. We will see how long this lasts, but for now, breeding mealworms has not proven to be a challenge.

Crested Gecko Picture in a Deli Cup

I am shipping this gorgeous red flame girl today. She's got a great home, and when getting her put in her deli cup, she decided to wave buy to me.

She was making crazy poses, but this was one precious.

She's got the crazy, evil crested eyes and a sexy pose. I don't even know how to describe it really.

Roomba Vacuums Work

I was never a full believer in the Roomba vacuum, but these guys are great! I made a huge mess last night in the reptile room, cleaning snake tubs. I had bark and substrate all over the floor; the pictures below don't even show the full extint of the mess.

I figured if anything, this would be the true test for the new Roomba. It worked! It was awesome, and I didn't have to lug the regular vacuum throughout the house to push in the reptile room.

The Roomba did all the work for me.

You can see part of the mess as the Roomba vacuum cleans. Keep in mind this is reptile bark, moss, aspen, CGD powder, moss, dust, probably a few dead cricket legs, and whatever other debris that is on the floor.

Generally, I just do spot cleans and sweep the floor, but with the help of the Roomba, my floors are definitely much cleaner.

I suggest these for anyone with pets, whether that be a snake or dog. As you can see, you can still make messes on the floor with pet snakes.
