Since I did not witness this happening, I cannot defend it any further than I did. Maybe the breeder did just see a chew mark that happened from the outside and simply assumed that it ate it's way out of his stomach, but he just seems adamant that it can happen. Or maybe he is just a little...

On the one occasion that this happened, the gecko was very thin and weak from a recent illness and ate a huge amount of mealworms. Maybe the gecko was not producing enough stomach acid to kill them all quickly enough because she had not eaten in weeks. I know it sounds unbelievable, but this...

mealworms I know of one instance where a mealworm ate through a leopard gecko's stomach and out of it's side, but the gecko actually survived. Though this is a rare occurrence, it only seems to happen when a gecko eats a large amount of live mealworms. I would not be too terribly concerned...

substrate I have kept leopard geckos on uncrushed sphagnum moss before, but I would not recommend keeping them on crushed peat moss for fear of impaction. My favorite substrate by far is newspaper. Aubrey

food Mine used to eat large crickets very well. I never fed him anything else, and he seemed pretty healthy and active until he died of old age. Aubrey

Solfugids I kept an adult Solfugid native to the U.S. for several months, and I loved him! He was so mean I used a wire coat hanger to remove/replace his water dish because he would try to run up my tweezers. :eek: He looked just like those in the picture, just somewhat smaller. In fact, I do...

Thank you for your help gongyles: I would love to post pictures, but I am afraid that she will panic and ruin her eggs. Thanks for the congrats, I am very excited that she laid the eggs! Wade: I was hoping that you would be able to give me some advice! I will moisten her substrate and cover...

I was feeding my invertebrates today and I noticed that the female vinegaroon that I posted about a while ago has a large sack of eggs attatched to her underside! I see at least 20 white eggs inside a clear membrane that she has recently laid. My question is, what do I do now??? I have not been...

Has anyone else who owns cane toads noticed this, or is it just my toads? I am keeping two large cane toads in a rubbermaid tub with a ventilated lid and their substrate is Fluker's sphagnum moss. I think that they are very neat animals and I love keeping them, but they smell! The smell itself...

What have you read about them? I know someone who keeps Uroplatys henkeli, phantasticus, and ebanaui with pretty good success and I know that a humidity of approx. 80% and temperatures between 70-75 day and 68-70 night are extremely important. Also, harsh lighting is not well tolerated, and I...

When I purchased her a number of months ago I was told that she had never molted while she was in the pet store, and she certainly has not molted in my care. I suppose that there is a chance that she might be gravid, but it seems unlikely to me. I would be thrilled if she was! Aubrey

Thank you for the compliment! He molted out completely jet black and has a velvety appearance. That shocked me so much because he was an all over dull green/gray/tan. Aubrey

This is the huge female. Does she appear to be gravid, or is it simply wishful thinking?Thanks for looking! Aubrey

Picture #2 He is in his "feed me"pose. I have spoiled both of them by tweezer feeding them. If he is hungry when I remove the lid, he displays this pose and shows no aggression toward me when I touch him, if he is not hungry he does not show me this display.

I purchased this pair of vinegaroons a few months ago, and I was told that they were wild caught this summer. When I purchased them, the suspected female was slightly more fat than the suspected male, but during the time that I have owned her, she has steadily become huge! As you will see in the...

Last is my adult male Aphonopelma caniceps whom I call "Creepy". He is beautiful, but he is so agressive that I did not want to leave his shoebox open long enough to take a good picture, so this picture(taken through the wall) gives an idea of his coloration. He is huge with a bright red...

This is my female Petco B. smithi. Originally they were asking $100, and the sale price was $60, but I only paid $40 for her. =D

She is still quite small, but she eats a lot! Aubrey
