    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.

    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....

Reptiles that don’t need heat?

Hey everyone. I am posting this as I am currently using a 10 gallon for my baby create gecko, but she gets lost and hasn’t been eating well. So I am downsizing till she gets a little bigger. So I was wondering what I could keep in her old cage. I’ve heard that some skins can live fine without heat but I would enjoy if that where more specific. It is a cube btw. About 12 deep 14 wide and 14 high

Being cold-blooded, all reptiles need heat to some degree. However a few do ok at typical room temps, including some geckos.
If you can't provide supplemental heat, you might be better off considering temperate amphibians. They do better at cool temps usually, and there are lots of choices of species that are small enough for a 10 gallon.
 
Being cold blooded means their body temp is dependent on their environment. So if you want to stick with reptiles, you’ll have to find a way to heat it.
