Bummer that you had to put up with that, and glad that your precautions had worked; thanks for the advice! - I don't remember that you had me sign for my guy... but I've got far too many photos floating around to claim I never got him!:p
Ittle bittle Montikins is getting big; doesn't look like a baby any more! How old is he? - He looks kind of like Saccardo (my first cham - a Jackson's) looked when I got him at 7 months.
I have a leo and a gargie (gargoyle gecko), which is very similar to a crested in terms of behavior and temperament (both Rhacodactylus). In my experience, the gargie is more active and I see more of him; he's also more likely to sleep in the open. Any of these geckos is quicker than a...

I know they always recommend two fecals, as parasites may be in a life cycle stage that is inconducive to catching (e.g., a fecal float test is very good for eggs, but not so reliable for parasites that have hatched). That might be her thinking, but she sounds like a good vet, and one who would...
Save up for vacation on the Big Island of Hawai'i - they were all over the place there, popping in and out of the hotel rooms and scampering around! On a more serious note, I haven't kept them, but all the Phelsumas (day geckos) have very fragile skin, supposedly so it will tear and allow the...
Introducing my new little girly, Sugar Magnolia! (Check out the Grateful Dead song if you have no idea where that name comes from.) After 9 years of chameleon keeping, I'm thinking of taking the plunge into panther breeding. Not for quite some time, yet, though, as Sugar Magnolia is still a...
