I love your voice! I am thinking about getting Mourning geckos because they are not hard to keep and not expensive. i already have a bearded dragon^^

Your mourning gecko vids inspired me to start my first bioactive enclosure with 2 baby mourning geckos this week! They were so expensive lol. The hawaiian ones. And so fast! Can't wait to see them and their plants grow though. :)

Hahaha, in my house we have around 2 per room living freely, they survive without us doing anything at all, probably they get water from the WC, since they moved in we no longer find any scorpions around, they live among us and are really friendly. I think they have migrated due to climate change, before they used to live closer to the coast, usually they leid their eggs inside power sockets, and make kissing sounds at night, I'm From Cuernavaca Mexico

I'm in Israel, and I just caught one by my front door. It's PINK and has a striped tail. You can see all the insides because it's belly is so clear.

Mine like Dubia nymphs, lol - One even took down a Adult Powder Blue Isopod, dragged It off like a Raptor or a micro reptile “Tiger with a deer .”

I keep dart frogs. Like 15 enclosures. I bought one mourning gecko to live with my alpha female cobalt that dominated her tank mates so gets to live alone now. After about a year I noticed she had replicated. Now I've been capturing and relocating the offspring to other enclosures. They only eat fruit flies or clean up crew. I have the crested gecko food but rarely use it because I'm worried about it rotting. No joke I bet the one lizard is now 30 it's always neat seeing a newly hatched babies.
