    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

This is the 4th Leo I've owned. He's a Carrot, so I named him Kakarot. Just got him today. The last owner named him Godzilla, but that just didn't suit him. Yes, I'm going to take that wood bedding out and put some calc sand in.

What I really need to know is what is the best brand for a heat bulb. The one given to me seems like it's just a florescent bulb and the night heat bulb I bought today seems to be just a plain old black light bulb:face_palm_02:. I want something that's actually going to warm my little boy up.

I've not owned a leopard gecko for that long (didn't stop me from getting 6 lol) but most people wouldn't suggest cali-sand as the coloured ones can dye the geckos skin and they can become impacted.

Mine are all on paper towels atm, but once I get my vivarium stack setup they'll be going on a substrate called "Leo Life", most people recommend it as it's supposedly very natural.


I can't help with the bulb I'm afraid as mine are going to have CHE's.
But usually any brand would be okay, just aslong as they're on a thermostat.

All of the Leos I've owned have all been on sand (from 6 months on) and I've never had an issue with impaction. Then again, I coat the crickets heavily in calc powder.
