So how do geckos defy one of the most basic laws of physics? If a force acts on an object, but that object doesn't move, there must be another force acting in the opposite direction. In other words, two forces must be exactly balancing one another. Since the gecko doesn't fall, ...
Many clever species are undeterred by porcupine quills, venomous snake fangs, sticky-armed octopuses, and more.
We have a detailed post about feeding Dubia roaches to leopard geckos, and this information applies to other gecko species, including crested geckos. Michael says Should food for gut loading be grated up or fed in big chunks? For example, grating a carrot versus just slicing it up and givi...
A big difference in their development is that amphibians have an aquatic larval form after hatching. This larval form, think frog tadpoles, undergoesmetamorphosisbefore reaching adulthood. Reptiles do not have any larval stage; they have their adult form as soon as they hatch from the egg then u...
Welcome (within reason) spiders, bats and geckos. One gecko has the same bug-killing potential as an application of insecticide. If you don't mind getting rid of the critters yourself, sprinkle a mixture of equal parts borax and sugar where ants gather. The stuff will kill them, but not...
They eat a wide range of foods, including geckos, frogs, lizards, skinks, small mammals, water skinks, reptile eggs, and even fish or tadpoles if they come close enough to the shore. Tree snakes use their sense of smell to find their prey, using their heads to poke through leaves and...
Sometimes I've asked myself what good is served by planting a garden. Isn't it just selfish and about beautifying one's own space. Surely individual small actions don't count in the fight against climate change and its the big battles with industry that need to be won. Against this I ...
How big is Your Universe, and where do you place yourself in it? You and I and all the others out there – even the earth and the solar system that we are a part of, are quite small compared to the vast universe we have above and below us, even sideways and in all directions. ...
Note that a few of these animals (including all of the snakes and many of the geckos) are nocturnal. However, they’ll often rest in visible locations, and you can incorporate red lights at night, which will allow you to observe their behaviors without upsetting their circadian rhythms. The...
