Nice..
the albino with the skinny tail doesnt look like its doing good, really skinny. is it being out competed for food? also do you have vitman/calcium powder in a seperate dish for them to use when needed?
this one

it needs to be one that doesnt contain D3 I beleive.
I use rep-cal herptivite with beta carotene.
just put some in a small dish and they will use it when they need it, also sprinkle the crix every second or third feeding... _________________ “Look down at me and you see a fool;

Those are nice geckos. How old are they? Some look very young.
I use sticky tongue for all of my geckos and it has D3 in it and also rep-cal herptivite and they are thriving. I agree the other doesnt look well. It should be quarinteened from the rest. You never know whats wrong it could have internel parasites.
Also if they are young it is not a good idea to feed them any meal worms til they are older and only once a week. They can be hard to digest.
Sorry if I stepped on anyone toes just trying to help. _________________ If Fishes Were Wishes We'd All Cast Nets

HEllo All,
Cynjay, thank for the advise and recomendations.
I should ask for help when I got them, as reptiles are not my forte
I mix RepCal and Herptivite in a 2:1 ratio, and shake the crickets in a plastic bag with it to coat them before feeding.
I agree with Warren that most of them (except for the first one and the 3rd from last) look VERY THIN.
Males of this species will fight, so the adult males have to be kept in individual enclosures. _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
Hello,
I usally dust the crickets with Calciumax, and nothing else.
I just started to feed crickets as I was giving them mealworms but they would just die or turn into beetles.
I had their container sitting on top of a heat tape conected to a thermostat set at around 85F.
What should I do to increase the weight on this guys fast???
Your going to need patients cuz the little guys or gals have just been moved and that stresses them as well. Have you tried new born mice that might help them only if they take them. I know I have a female that will only eat one with the mouse's butt dripped in reptical and she's fattened up, but it should only be once a month. Other than that keep feeding them the gutloaded crickets the size of their heads and dust a couple of times a week. When they get older they dont need as much dusting. Now if they were babies I give them dusted crickets 4 times a week. And I will tell you this my babies and parents are monsters they eat alot.
I hope this helps!
The heating should be between 84 -88. How warm is your home? You can also help them by giving them a red 40- 60 watt bulb for day and night. Only if its been really cool.
If your interested I have a website I go too and read alot of the info there.

also waxworms are hugh in fat. you could give the skinny ones a few of them along with the crix to start fattining them up.. _________________ “Look down at me and you see a fool;

Cynjay,

Yes waxworms are great to. The little buggers are sticky when you cut them open. But I only use them as a treat. _________________ If Fishes Were Wishes We'd All Cast Nets
