Right, ill have to sink the cage into the ground with a mesh bottom to prevent escape. Good point about the safety door, how does that work? hmmm, so are raw red meats and various veggies (squash, dandelions, kale etc) the best option with live insects every once and a while?

Hey all, I am currently selling on a few of my exotics and might possibly want to keep something new, for instance an Australian Water dragon I have a possible location and the enclosure could be up to 2mx1mx1.5m (lxwxh). I have a few questions though: How often on average would you feed an adult dragon? For live insects, could you release a ton (say 50 crickets) twice a month or so? What happens in winter, do they brumate or just get a lot slower like natives? Also are they decent burrowers? The enclosure would be quite far away from the house so filtration for the water area would be difficult, are there any good battery/solar powered pumps? I would love to see some enclosure pics, to get an idea. Cheers; Jack

When I mean cloudy I mean not crystal clear. I created a land area using soil and blocked it off with rocks but of course some of the silt seeped through giving the tank a tinted look. This should be fine shouldn't it and wont affect the animals? Cheers; Jack

Hi, I only give multivitamin powder every four feedings and calcium with d3 two out of four feedings.

Unfortunately my parents aren't keen on having a leopard gecko family so I don't think I would be allowed to breed him myself. :dunno:

Hey guys, Im reopening this thread because, like some of you suggested, I reduced his feedings down, feeding him less each meal and only feeding him twice a week (whereas before it was 2-3 times a week). However he has gained weight and is now 116 grams? He is going to the toilet fine. Can anyone help me understand this? I was feeding him crickets for a long time but reverted back to mealworms because ran out. I reduced the number of mealworms compared to what he was previously getting before the crickets. Could the change from crickets to mealworms be the reason? Thanks; Jack

I still reckon he'd be 100 grams even after losing some of his love handles. Do you think?

Ok sweet, ill stick him on a diet and hard exercise...

Do you guys think he looks fat?

Sweet thanks, Im not very good with this kind of stuff...

Sorry, the photos don't seem to be coming up.

dont know how to upload but pics are on here: http://s1367.photobucket.com/user/peppe ... =3&page=1/

My guy looks like the gecko on the right, no bigger. ill get pics tonight.

Its alright, I understand where you are coming from. I don't think he's obese as far as I can tell Ill get some pics up here. His feeding has been the same for about a year now, food every three days either crickets or mealworms. Also I dont have to wiggle them in front of him. His mealworms go in a bowl (which he looks in every night) and I let crickets loose in his enclosure.

My Leo Monty is now about 2 years and 3 months old now. Weighed and measured him the other day at 10 inch and 112 grams. I've seen on websites this is described size as being giant to super giant size? Is that so?
