Don't have a full shot of the terrarium but here is my little guy...

He is a Gargoyle Gecko named Velcro. My brother has Velcro's girl at his place. Actually Velcro is over at my brothers place right now mating. He quite the little machine!

Just after eating...his mouth is kinda dirty

Baby picture!

No offense, but those torts have some horrible pyramiding happening. And usually in the case of red foots and other forrest torts it's due to either poor diet or too low a humidity. Can I ask what your feeding them? A Diet too high in fruit will destroy them, it should only make up about 10% of their WEEKLY diet, not daily. Not trying to be rude, just hate seeing torts with pyramids. But the pen looks great. At least your giving them room

My sulcatas are rescues and have a little pyramiding because the people who owned them before were feeding them way too much protien and way too much food as it were. They have since stopped pyramiding and are growing up nicely.

You know I am no math geek but if you feed them 10% fruit daily that will still mean they are only getting 10% fruit weekly.

Hey Brian how's the feeding thing turning out, you doing the wingless fruitflies or anything like that?

I've been culturing melanogaster and it's been a piece of cake so far. I start 2 new cultures every 11 days and toss them after 30 days. I end up with 4-8 going at a time. I need more frogs!
Actually I'm going to order a couple more leucs from Understory pretty soon so this guy won't be lonely.

I'm using media from Josh's and it's great, it smells like cinnamon.
I've also got a couple of springtail cultures going as well as what I seeded the tank with.

Sure you don't want to change that big tank to a viv?

Given a few things that got me down about the hobby in the last year I actually came closer than you might think.

I still do want to setup a viv one day. I just don't really want to start a new project until the big one is done because I have a bad habit of not finishing things before starting others.
