of course, that he let lots of kids handle a gecko that was tame, but I
think he would be more comfortable feeding & cleaning with one he could
handle/catch).
I looked at the pics, they look like ground/rock geckos. Xeric, I
would guess?

I'm getting ready to move my picta to a 20gal long and I would like to
give them a substrate they can dig in, since they (females) do quite a bit.
Any suggestions or thoughts?
TIA

I just noticed my female grandis' right eye is, well, flat. Viewed from
above, you know how the eye normally curves out from the head? Well the
right eye doesn't--it is just flush with the rest of the head.
I've no idea how long this has been the case, because it's only obvious

I am redoing my henkeli's tank, which meant moving him temporarily, a
process which is almost equally stressful to both of us (almost--he'd

Of course, neither is he, but just try telling him that!)
Anyway, he curled his tai

in. long x 12 in. deep x ~11 in. high)?

Also on the subject of feeders, can anyone tell me anything about the
butterworms I've seen advertised once or twice? Like, what are they,
and do they really have as much calcium as I've seen claimed?

If they are younger or smaller then two week old crickets. Neither of
these size crickets is hard to keep alive.
Theoretically, no. But I always have massive die-offs with anything
under about 1/3".
If the roaches were small, soft and young enough I think they would be
good,
They are small
What about roaches as a food source? I have alot of difficulty keeping
a constant supply of small crickets as I cannot seem to keep the little
ones alive very long!
