Just wanted to share this real quick. I thought this was a very cute leopard gecko hatchling, she just came out of the egg. Hello world!
OnlineGeckos.com September 2014 Update – African Fat-tailed Geckos
Greetings everyone! It has been awhile since my last update, and I do have to apologize. The short explanation is that my father passed away late last year, and I had a lot of things to take care of within the family. Around that same time, I also took on additional responsibilities at work. The additional responsibilities is a good thing, but it also meant I had less time to browse gecko forums, update blogs, and create fun gecko videos. Now that things have settled down a bit, we are finally going to post the beautiful geckos we’ve hatched out this season.

For breeding purposes, per Ron Tremper:
Super Giant X Super Giant = 100% Super Giant
Super Giant X Giant = 50% Super Giant / 50% Giant
Super Giant X Normal = 100% Giant
Giant X Giant = 25% Super Giant, 50% Giant, 25% Normal
Giant X Normal = 50% Giant / 50% Normal
Our cat just had to make an appearance in the video, you’ll see him towards the end of the video. His name is Cairo, breed is Egyptian Mau, and he’s almost 2 years old. I thought about editing it out but it’s something that you can’t plan for even if you script it, so I figured to leave him in the video for giggles 🙂

Dubia Roaches As Feeders – High Protein Diet – And Gout In Leopard Geckos
Dubia roaches (Blaptica dubia) have become increasingly popular in the recent years. Hobbyists are finding out that dubia roaches are great staple diet for their leopard geckos. Not only are dubia roaches a healthy, low fat feeder. They are also fairly clean, they do not smell, jump, climb smooth surface, or make obnoxious noises. Dubia roaches also breed well in a colony, allowing leopard gecko hobbyists to keep a live stock of all sizes ready to be fed off to their geckos. Unlike crickets and mealworms, their life cycle is very long, allowing you to keep them longer before having to feed them off. Pretty much you get the benefits of healthy feeders like crickets, without the negatives. They are also hardy, and very meaty compared to most feeders when looking at the meat to chitin ratio.
Dubia Roaches vs Crickets for Leopard Geckos
A big reason for their increased popularity has to do with the cricket virus that nearly wiped out the cricket stock. This cricket virus is now affecting more than just domestic house crickets, so reptile hobbyists had to look for a new, reliable feeder source. As more hobbyists get over their roach phobia (something I had to get over as well), more and more hobbyists are keeping a running colony of dubia roaches to feed them off to their leopard geckos & reptiles. Unfortunately with increased popularity, there are also lots of misinformation being spread regarding dubia roaches, particularly with their diet.
