And the smaller frog is called a Fantasy Horned frog.
They get pretty big, but not very big. Alot easier to care for than the pixie. He eats crickets and roaches, as well pac man frog food by zoo med. He stays pretty small, but they dont move much.

Yeah, emoticons still work :mrgreen:

Thanks for the info. They sound and look interesting. But if I ever will have something like this, I will stick to those geckos :mrgreen:

You don't have any leopard geckos? Do they seem to be too mainstream? :D

Here's my cat Napoleon sitting in a box that is way too small for him. We keep trying to get him to lose weight, but his sister Josephine is just right in terms of weight and every diet we put him on causes her to lose weight as well. They are both known for enjoying plants. Especially spider plants and VFTs.

Well, that is true. But I have never seen any in local pet shops. Just leopard geckos and chameleons (which I don't like).

This is my leopard gecko his name is Yellowjacket (what I named my username after).

Here is a video of me feeding him (I put it in black and white so you don't see the red heat light)

He is beautiful :)

You don't feed him just worms, right?

I feed him crickets and super worms sometimes too I don't know if you could tell but that was a mealworm in the video he does get a-lot of those because I have a mealworm farm going.

You should not feed him too many worms. They have a really tough exoskeleton and can hurt him (they can jam the intestines of your gecko). Best are crickets, cockroaches and there was a special species of larvae, but I forgot the name. And you don't have to dust every cricket, just put inside the terrarium a bowl with calcium and he will lick the amount he needs.

I knew about the calcium bowl thing I have tried it but he never licks from it. Also I knew that the thick exoskeletons of mealworms aren't good for bearded dragons and other lizards but I never heard it was a problem for leopard geckos? Anyways thank you for the advice I will try to feed him less mealworms.

Here read this "Mealworms are excellent feeder stables. They healthy in almost every way, except for the hard exoskeleton. Luckily, leopard geckos are not affect by the hard shell. They have a strong jaw with rigid teeth that crush the mealworms head on impact. With special digestive juices to break down any left over mealworm matter" I saw this on yahoo answers this is why I thought it would be safe to feed him mealworms

That is the first time I hear that worms are safe to be fed to lg. Everywhere else you will read, that they are not. Truth is somewhere between. They are safe, but just in small amount. Not considering, that cockroaches and grasshoppers are more nutritious. Especially those ones caught in wild (drawback - decease, parasite possibility).
