    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello, recently (about a month and a half ago) I transferred my 8 year old leopard gecko from a 10 gallon cage to a 40 gallon one. She appears to love it compared to her last cage as she has multiple different hides cold and hot to choose from, however feeding is a different story. The first time i fed her, she was on eco earth so i immediately pulled her off as i saw her swallowing some ( she got 6-8 crickets). Next week i fed her on newspaper and she got 2-3. the week after that she ate a giant tomato hornworm no problem. a few days she ate 2-3 crickets and a day or two after that she ate 2-3 more. Now its been a week and this feeding she only ate 2. She has been losing alot of weight and not eating as much as she did before the 40 gallon tank since she dosent exactly have the best strike-rate/ eyesight and the crickets can get away really fast. im considering switching her to dubia roaches as theyre healthy and cant run away as fast. Im greatly worried for my pet, any suggestions are welcomed.
 
I would definitely try her on dubia roaches as they have more protein and less chitin than crickets. They're also a lot slower than crickets so they're easy to catch, but they still move around enough to be enticing.
