He fed her daily, only crickets and no dusting. And I know her temps were WAY to hot!
She had a ceramic heat lamp on 24/7, a red light at night, a coil heat lamp during the day and a coil UVB bulb when we got her. The top of her cage was melted from the heat as well as the plastic lamp housing...
Thanks!
After all we had read we thought it was odd that she hadnt laid before with previous owner but he was an idiot... not even sure he knew they laid eggs, we have readied her cage for it since a week after we had her and then nothing.
We will do the shower thing. She hates it, but she...
Just wanted to post an update!
Karma is a lot better this morning!
She spent most of yesterday on her basking branch, resting, napping and looking tired.
She didnt eat for me, but I did see her drink water from the dripper and I misted her several times.
Her color was still dark.
She was...
Her laying bin has been available since 1 week after we got her when we put her in her new cage! She didnt use it though... chose the potted plant instead!LOL
Nothing different lately.
She was about 9 months when the previous owner got her, he had her for 9 months and she didnt lay in that...
Cool, thanks!
And I know the nothing is written in stone with them!LOL
Just interesting that for her age, she hasnt laid eggs before and now she did it and went CRAZY!LOL
Another crazy question.... will she shed soon, since a lot of times stress will make them shed. And I would say...
I had no clue they laid that many at a time!
I stare at the container with all the eggs in it and then at Karma and wonder HOW all those came out of her and how we didnt see her bulging and bumpy. I checked her last week and didnt see or feel anything crazy.
Any idea on how soon again she...
Yes, she is a veiled.
We will raise the light a bit then or lower her branch...whichever is easiest.
She prefers her superworms but will eat crickets on occasion.
Thank you!
And Ruru, we are waiting until tax return time to get our next one. Patiently waiting...... we want to be able to...
She is our first cham after 15 yrs of wanting one!
She is basically a rescue because we went to check her out(ad on craigslist) and once we saw she was in a plastic cage, solid walls and no venilation, 1 plant, had never been fed calcium, only ate crickets, etc. we knew she was coming home with...
Thank you!!!
I will put some extra greens in her cage as well, plus make sure the feeders have lots of fresh food daily to gutload them before they get eaten.
I dust them as well.
I have misted her several times today with warm water. Didnt want to give her system a chill/shock with the cool...
Thanks!
We live in Portland where it is cooler, our house is rarely above 74 and in winter never above 70.
Her cage(24 x 24 x 48) is about 80 in the middle, 82-85 on her basking branch and of course cooler at the bottom. It is open mesh. Her lights are off completely at night.
She does eat...
Ummmm, should I be freaking out?
I just dug up the eggs with the help of my boys and we have 60 eggs:eek:
They look fine and she seems tired but ok.
How do we get this to slow down and be less in numbers when she does lay because I am pretty sure that 60 eggs at a time will definitely...
Thank you!!!!
This is more stressful than waiting for my own kids to be born!LOL
I was a mess all weekend, despite that she was doing everything text book.
When hubby got home, he kept asking me if it was normal and I said yes. Then stop worrying...... he would say.
I will post what...
Ok, Karma spent last Wed/Thurs climbing and pacing all over her cage.
I checked and chances are it meant she was looking to lay eggs.
She isnt bred and age is unknown though we were told about 18 months when we got her 6 months ago but she seems younger than that. If real, she would be about...
Oh, you are not telling me anything I dont know!
JEEZ, when he dropped off his son(I do daycare) yesterday and told me that "N" asked for a lizard and they found a L.Gecko on CL and were emailing about it...... I was really annoyed.
We didnt get a lizard when my kids were little BECAUSE they...
Ok, one of my clients is buying his 3 yr old son a Leopard Gecko off craigslist and I have a few questions!
1) How long is life expectancy of a Leopard Gecko?
2) A good site with basic care and requirements for them?
3) A gecko forum?
Thanks everyone!

While we LOVE Karma, our veiled.... she is our 1st exploration into being a cham owner and she is a delight but for colors, she is not.
She is a VERY boring colord veiled, esp. compared to most of the females I have seen on the board. She has green and black and a tiny bit of yellow. Mainly she...
