Yes, calcium with d3 once or twice a month. They are nocturnal so they don't get uvb as good as other reptiles but still get some

I'm always open to suggestions. I have my own ideas of what I like to share but id love input on what yall would enjoy seeing or hearing my opinion on.

I actually have one saved that I haven't edited and put together yet. But I have recorded the content. So it will be coming soon ❤️

Thank you so much. I appreciate you supporting the channel

Glass is beautiful!!❤❤ thanks for sharing your experience and supporting the channel ❤

Thank you so much for your kind words. I use Hisbandry pro app /website for my data keeping on my animals. There is nothing else on the market as efficient for tracking EVERYTHING breeding related. That's what the QR codes are. I can scan woth my phone the QR and it'll bring up the animal on my phone so I can enter (weight changes, feeding schedule , egg laying etc)

@@southerngurlexotics7764 Thank you, definitely checking that out! I just checked, I have it on my phone and reptile buddy but just haven’t played around with either yet..

At 20 grams a garg will do fine a 10 gal convert or 20 gal equivalent but you absolutely at that size can go ahead and put them in a permanent enclosure of larger size of you wanted to or if you dont have the size up capabilities from having a bunch of enclosures hanging around. I'd just make sure there are plenty of feeding stations in a larger enclosure until it gets adjusted.

@@southerngurlexotics7764 thank you.

Couldn't AGREE more!! We need to DRILL into people that DIVERSITY is the KEY to better and ADVANCED husbandry. Learning from each other and staying open minded to others and their different styles of keeping these animals.

I use water soap and water when it's time to disinfect (about once a month or longer), and I use vinegar and water to try and get streaks out & water spots (it's not the most efficient but most of the time it's clean enough on the glass I'm happy with it).

Thanks .. Which locale are your leachies from ?

Most of them are GTX (GT MIXES) Alot of the GTs with color are bred mixed locales since color is the focus. So most of GTs were bought with color lines in mind (leibermanns pinky line and tru color)

So glad to have ya in the tribe. Welcome to the channel and THANK YOU watching and supporting the channel ❤

Too small enclosures seems to be a huge problem across all species unfortunately. People become obsessed with growing their collections instead of focusing on better the environments and lives of the animals they have. And it's heart wrenching to see it be done but especially too the puppy dogs of the reptile world (Beardies)..

I'm so glad you mentioned this. I edited out of my video bc the video was over 35 minutes so I had to cut out alot I wanted to say on these materials so THANK YOU for sharing in the comments so everyone will know.

IMO PVC Def reins supreme but they all have specific uses that I find rewarding and efficient. THANKNYOU for sharing your experience❤

I'm so glad you found it helpful!! There are a lot of little tricks to getting them back to thriving and these are just a few that have been literally life savers over the years. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel

Haha!! Better late than NEVER!! As always I soooo appreciate you supporting the channel. ❤

@@southerngurlexotics7764 Can't wait to make a Purchase !! Loving the content I'll always show up and give support. Thank you for engaging with your supporters. People always assume someone is a bot . Never know might be a potential customer.

That is one topic I can't stress enough with this species. There's so much misinformation out there and it's strictly because people want more animals and less space being used and the animals are the main ones suffering bc of it.

These things are MASSIVELY long. Lol. Not my faves but if there is ANYTHING I lose in my reptile room 50 times a day , it tongs. I have about 8 different ones and I prefer the shorter ones and thicker at the tip but these that I'm using my mom got me years ago from Amazon. It came in a 3 or 4 pack with a couple straight and curved ones. Due to them being so massive they are usually the ones I find the quickest to use. 😂

They are a nocturnal species so typically even when they don't mind the overhead lights they typically stay in their caves and may poke out their head or tail to absorb the UVB. Rarely will they come out and bask their bodies. You can work with just cinditioning them into getting comfortable with overhead lighting bc either way they have to have a day and night cycle but if you notice that they go off food than take the lights away and just let natural sunlight of the room be the day/night cycle for them and use a heating pad on a thermostat. As far as skittish and running away that it normal for them especially in the first few months of a new home. Once he/she is eating regularly , pooping regularly than you can start working with handling. If they are biting, bluff striking at you you absolutely can try and continue getting them used to you and handling but in my experience the ones that are crazy usually stay crazy. Lol. The more skittish ones that aren't aggressive usually grow into being great for handling with regular conditioning/handling.

I would love in the future . Most likely not in this market or this year. Several of my breeder friends that travel to DB to vend have said the last couple of years just haven't made the money required to really afford the trio, table cost, etc. But it's in the cards for me in the future. I'm originally from daytona Beach so we go down all the time and do plan to eventually schedule going at the same time as the show in the near future.

I've had babies break the skin but superficial little pricks in the skin. I have one sub adult that has made it a Game of biting me regularly and he rarely breaks the skin and if he does it's similar to a small snake bite. They do have needle like teeth but the damage is so minimal. You've gotten lucky on your leachies though. I've seen so many blood Cushing bites from them. I work woth mostly GTs , bigger animals, bigger aggression, and bigger bites so I'm DREADING the day one of mine gets me.

Thanks Wally . I appreciate that 🩵👊🩵

Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel. Good luck on getting your 1st reptile. They are such unique animals and it truly is a privilege to be able to keep these animals that come from all over the world.

They are good people and have defintely put in the work to create some unique and beautiful animals. ❤️

😘😘❤❤

I can only speak on my african fat tails and what my vet has taught me them but all bug eaters I know have some parasites in their gut and its perfectly normal but high levels of stress can cause their gut health to get out of whack and they can quickly become sick and overrun with them. I'd always recommend following your vets opinion and if you see that it has caused weight loss, loss of appetite or regurgitation (which all are side effects to parasite overload) then I'd recommend doing something different. Unfortunately alot of the dewormers, antibiotics , pain meds etc for these animals can have negative side effects even killing your animals so it's better to always tread lightly with medicine. My vet regularly tries to have me do non-medicinal options before jumping into medicating unless absolutely needed.

@@southerngurlexotics7764 gotcha. Yeah so far he seems to be ok. He's still gaining weight. He doesn't love the CGD but still eats it, I'll see lick marks here n there. Absolutely loves dubias though.

Thanks Dave😂👊🩵

Me too!! The potential for color spreading and just the unique placement of color on each one is just fun.

Thank you!! The one directly behind me are from gecko Junkie. The ones to my side that are Glass are converted 10 and 20 gals from I heart geckos

Thanks so much for the follows and support and yeah Arson is incredible. Autumn at Bergies produced her and she's definitely one of my favorites around here.

Where are you located? I'm in taylors/greenville SC area. But yeah, shows can be hit or miss depending on the show and it takes alot of work. Luckily so far show experience has been an amazing one for me. If I didn't work soooo many hours with my other job I'd defintely do more. Meeting people and talking geckos is one of my favorite things. Good luck with your breeding adventure though. It can be so exciting and rewarding but it ALSO is a lot of work and can get expensive however totally worth it when you start producing beautiful /healthy animals you are proud of and excited to share with others. Thanks so much for supporting the channel❤️

@@southerngurlexotics7764 We were in Myrtle Beach when we started, but have since moved north to Sanford, NC. We have been doing the Charlotte and Raleigh Repticons and the Durham Show Me Reptiles. All our shows have been a lot better financially than the first one, but I was a little surprised that the geckos weren't flying off the table at that first show. Thankfully we are getting into a grove with it all. I love talking to people about reptiles, teaching, and sharing and I love spending the day taking care of animals. So it has been an amazing adventure even without them flying off the tables. :-P I'm now making enough money that the sales are covering expenses! :-D

It's a Leo according to its classification. I'm not familiar enough with them to make an educated guess on that. But it's not being labeled as in the same species as fat tailed geckos. But more of a leopard gecko with a fat tail if that makes sense.

They are THE BEST animals. Great pets and typically very sweet animals. Defintely in my top 5 favorite geckos.

To drink? It's cold from the tap so I don't ice it make it chill but it comes out pretty cold.

Tap not good where am from so I buy spring water

Thank YOU for watching and supporting the channel ♥️

Welcome to the channel and thank you so much for supporting. And even BIGGER welcome to breeding gargs. They are such an amazing species
