This is my checklist for my hatchling Stimson's python, I've decided now that I'll go with a heat mat as I've got one for my thick-tailed gecko enclosure and I've never ever had a problem with it.

Hey guys,
I'm really looking into getting a Smooth Knob-Tailed Gecko (Nephururs Levis Levis) as I've had and still keep Marbled Geckos, I've also got a Thick-Tailed Gecko his name is Harley, and I've always wanted a Knob-Tailed Gecko. Just want to know if I am going to be caring for him or her...
I've always wanted to breed my wonderful boy Harley (Thick-Tailed Gecko) for a while now, but want to know if it would be a good idea to keep a male and female together? and hopefully try and breed.
I've got a few questions also...
(1). How would I go about introducting Harley to a female...

I've had Harley my Thick-Tailed Gecko for 3 months now, he used to eat then always the next day or 2 he would defecate, I would then clean it out.
I feed him on the 4th November then again on the 8th November but he hasn't defecated since the 2nd November, I'm a little concerned that...
So I've got my Thick-Tailed gecko in an Exo Terra Terrarium that's 45x45x45 cm, I've started to think of all the upper space I'm wasting as he doesn't climb, so I'm going to purchase one of those Low Exo Terra Terrarium 45x45x30 and put him in that instead so I'm not wasting any upper space...

Hi all,
We have a small spare tank, about 45 x 30 x 40. Is this ok for keeping 1 or two geckos, and if so what species?
Thanks.

That's fine to keep a pair of any ground dwelling gecko.
Eg:
Knobbies
Diplos
Bynoes
Thanks for that.

So I've had Harley my thick-tailed gecko for about a month or so, he used to eat, but all of a sudden he's stopped, is this anything to be concerned about?
I have changed sized crickets from small to medium, so I don't know if this has anything to do with it. He's hot side is 19/20 degrees in...
Many times on this forum I see threads about mixing one genetic morph from one species to another and the usual flame fest ensues.
Like clock work there will always be posts claiming how the same can be achieved by keeping the line "Pure"
So lets see them! please include pictures of all types...
One of my mates are coming down to Melbourne next month and he's offered to give me his green tree frog, which I'm very interested in, but I've got a couple of question's about caring for one.

My Thick-Tailed Gecko Harley is settling in very well and has stated to eat, he had 5 crickets that were coated with (rep-cal) calcium powder.
But I'm not sure how many times he needs them coated, is one feed with calcium then the next without, so on and so on what I should be doing?
Also...
Now that I've got myself a Thick-Tailed gecko, I've been thinking about purchasing another reptile (Lizards only) and wanted to know from you guys what's another great lizard to possibly buy?
But I need it to suit my needs
(1). Something that can live it's whole life in an 3 or 4ft tank or an...
I've been thinking about this for a few days now, and now that I've got my Thick-Tailed gecko, would he need to be wormed? to avoid the nasty little hungry critters.
Just want to hear what all you guys think? Do you worm your reps as you would with your cat or dog?
So as u all know I've recently purchase an awesome thick-tailed gecko...my question is, with my 45x45x45 exo terra enclosure would the exo terra heat mat (Extra Small - 10 x 12.5 cm) would this be the appropriate sized heat mat? or do I need to go bigger?
So finally I got my Thick-tailed gecko Harley! Just put him in his new home, I've given him a light spray with some water and he licked his eye, what a funny sight to see.
I'm so exited with him!
Here goes, I was in mixed minds about if I should get a knob-tailed gecko or a Thick-tailed gecko...but I've been doing loads and loads of research over the past few months, and I've deeply decided to go with an Underwoodisaurus milii, I remember that a 90x45x45 Exo Terra terrarium was just...
Hey guys,
I have an old fish tank at home. It's roughly 500mm long x 400 deep x 500 tall. I'd like to get some sort of skink or dragon to house in it. Something reasonably hardy & easy to keep.
Cheers

Curious to see how everyone ended up with scalies in their house and at what age. :) For me it is how ancient and different they are, and how successful they have been over millions of years.
Hey guys I have a 8-9 month old thick-tail he is a Victorian Subspecies dubbed Bruce now I've seen a lot of threads on here that say no unnecessary handling but we handle him for a minute once a week so as not to stress him out but we think he likes handling because he doesn't squirm when we...

Hi, I'm getting a thick-tailed gecko but before I do I'm worried about keeping it cool during hotter parts of the year. I've found out that they're pretty sensitive to temperatures around and above 28C.
I live in Cairns where temperature is pretty stable but gets to the mid 30s during the wet...
