Leopard Gecko Diet
Leopard Gecko Diet
Leopard Gecko Food is primarily always going to be Live insects as they do not eat plants or veggies. The best items to use are mealworms or crickets, but you cantreat your pet to waxworms or superworms once a week if you wish. Avoid feeding leopard geckos pinky mice. It is important to always dust your leopard geckos diet with calcium with vitamin d3. It is important for the leopard gecko to eat a variety of guy loaded insects, meaning you will be feeding the insects a high quality diet rich in vitamins and minerals and the leopard geckos will get their needed nutrition from eating the properly “gut-loaded” diet you provide.
Before purchasing your new pet leopard gecko for sale online, find the correct leopard gecko breeder (US!) and make sure they only work with captive bred leopard geckos for sale.

Gargoyle Gecko Diet
Gargoyle Gecko Diet
Before purchasing your new gargoyle gecko for sale and finding the best gargoyle gecko breeder (us!) you should also spend some time learning about proper gargoyle gecko care including gargoyle gecko diet. We feed pangea gargoyle gecko food daily ( Pangea gecko fruit mix with insects to be exact) as well as crickets dusted with Reptocal with vitamin D once we week. Below is a more in depth look at some various gargoyle gecko diet options.
A variety of vitamin dusted insects can be fed as an alternative to pre-made powdered gecko diet, but the best part about gargoyle geckos is how easy they are to care for, and having a pre made “just add water” diet option is a primary reason for some reptile enthusiasts for choosing a gargoyle gecko baby as their new pet gecko of choice!
While gargoyle geckos eat crickets with incredible enthusiasm, a diet consisting of only crickets is not a healthy choice. While properly gut-loaded and dusted crickets can be a healthy meal, crickets on their own simply do not have all the nutrients a gargoyle gecko needs. We recommend a varied diet of pangea gargoyle gecko food, or repashy gargoyle gecko food, mixed wit water to baby food consistency, fed every other day and a weekly offering of some gut loaded and calcium/vitamin dusted insects.

Box turtle breeder
We have some fantastically high colored eastern box turtles for sale. Eastern box turtles have a high, dome-like carapace and a hinged plastron that allows total shell closure hence the “box turtle” name. Box turtle breeders are common however working with captive bred box turtle breeder is the key to having a healthy baby or adult box turtle. The box turtle carapace can be of variable coloration, but is normally found brownish or black and is accompanied by a yellow, orange or even red or blue radiating pattern of lines, spots or blotches. Skin coloration, like that of the shell, is variable, but is usually brown or black with some yellow, orange, red, blue or white spots or streaks. This coloration closely mimics that of the winter leaf of the tulip poplar and provides natural protection from predators in the wild. In isolated populations, males may have blue patches on their cheeks, throat, and front legs. As a rule of thumb, male eastern box turtles normally possess red eyes whereas females usually have brown eyes. Eastern box turtles feature a sharp, horned beak, stout limbs, and their feet are webbed only at the base. Eastern box turtles have 5 toes on each front leg, and normally 4 toes on each hind leg, although some individuals may possess 3 toes on each hind leg. Staying small in size, most range from 4.5 to 6 inches, but occasionally reach over 7 inches. In the captivity, box turtles are known to live over 100 years, but in the wild, often live much shorter lives due to disease and predation. Easter box turtles can make great pet box turtles and are easy to care for and can provide years of companionship for any reptile enthusiast. We are proud to be the best box turtle breeders

Iguana Care Sheet
Iguana Care Sheet
Before purchasing your new baby iguana, consider if you are interested in a green iguana for sale, any color of iguana for sale or a blue iguana for sale online. Many places offering an iguana for sale online are offering wild caught specimens and should be avoided at all costs. Be sure to only purchase from a captive bred iguana breeder (like us!)
Iguanas are among the most popular pet reptiles. They love to bask in the sun or under an ultraviolet light, and they enjoy a diet of leafy greens and vegetables. Many people don’t realize that iguanas can grow to be quite large, exceeding 6 ft (1.8 m) in length. Iguanas should be properly socialized when they are young to ensure that they can be handled as adults. They require specialized housing and regular veterinary care and may not be a suitable pet for everyone.
Biological Facts
- Green Iguana: Iguana iguana
- Tree-dwelling lizard native to Mexico and South America
- Life span: 9 to 12 years
- Weight (adult): 5 lb to 20 lb (2.3 kg to 9 kg)
- Sexual maturity: 3-4 years
- Incubation: 73 to 93 days
- Average clutch size: 20-40 (hatchability may approach 100%)
Behavior
- Heat seeking: in the wild, spend many hours basking in the sun
- Solitary by nature, except during the breeding season
- Highly territorial; should be housed alone
- Can become accustomed to human touch, but excessive handling may cause stress
Diet
- Fresh, dark leafy greens such as kale, escarole, endive, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, and leaf lettuce (Do not feed iceberg lettuce, as it lacks calcium and other nutrients.)
- Vegetables such as diced yellow squash, zucchini, and grated carrots
- Commercial iguana pellets
- Only low-protein foods, as too much protein may cause kidney damage
- Phosphorus-free calcium supplement dusted over greens daily for juveniles (animals up to 2 years of age) and once or twice weekly for adults
- Fresh water daily
Environment
- Large habitat that mimics the natural environment as closely as possible
- Maintain a temperature gradient ranging from 75ºF to 80ºF (23.9ºC-26.7ºC) in the coolest area and up to 95ºF to 100ºF (35ºC to 37.8ºC) in a basking area. Use infrared lamps and ceramic heat emitters rather than under-the-cage heat pads or hot rocks, which can cause severe burns.
- Provide ultraviolet (UV) light in the UVB spectrum. Lack of UVB radiation can cause vitamin D deficiency, inhibit calcium absorption, and result in metabolic bone disease.
- UVB bulbs come in two forms: fluorescent and mercury vapor. Prices for these lights range from $30 to $75. Replace fluorescent bulbs every 6 to 9 months as UVB bulbs lose UV output over time even though they continue to produce visible light. Mercury vapor UVB bulbs continue to produce UVB radiation and need to be replaced only when they stop producing light.
- Place UVB lights within 12 to 18 inches of the iguana’s basking area. The bulb should not be blocked by glass or plastic, which will filter out beneficial rays.
- Reptile carpet or newspaper as bedding (Avoid bark and wood chips, which may cause intestinal blockage if ingested.)
- Plenty of vertical space for climbing, with branches and platforms for perching
- Fresh water in a large pan for soaking and to stimulate defecation (Change the water daily and when soiled.)
Preventive Care
- Routine physical examination every 6 to 12 months
- Consult a veterinarian with experience treating reptiles if you have any questions or concerns about your iguana’s health.
- Annual fecal examination for parasites
- Blood tests as recommended by your veterinarian
- Spaying and neutering recommended
Common Medical Disorders
- Abscesses
- Egg binding in females
- Internal and external parasites
- Kidney disease
- Metabolic bone disease
- Prolapsed hemipenis in males
- Thermal burns
