Reptiles - Geckos, Lizards, Snakes, and Turtles!

I feel like all the chats I'm interested in are dead. Oh well. I found a skink that's being rehomed and I'm trying to see if it's still available!! I'm super excited. But with my luck it's probably gone already.

So, I finally got Sobek on a normal feeding schedule. I'm not sure why he's finally eating, but I'm certainly not complaining! I'm just happy he's eating.

I hope you were able to get it. Blue tongues are entertaining for sure ^^

He must be a ball python. I have heard they are extremely picky lol

He's a leopard gecko, actually! But yes, he is extremely picky. He finally decided he likes the large mealworms though, so I'm happy with that.

It's odd that he's so picky; mine will eat pretty much anything that moves. It's cute how every individual has their own little quirks. Also I like your signature! I recently started listening to The Cure.

If you get the chance, try black soldier fly larvae. They're very nutritious and I have heard reptiles eat them when they have a hard time eating anything else

I've tried black soldier fly larvae. They don't really wiggle around, so some geckos won't eat them. But mine will eat anything as long as I hold it in the tongs and make it shake a bit. He even ate the pupa from the tongs, which are super high in calcium. And when a few pupa hatched, he enjoyed the adult flies (I fed them to him before their wings could properly unfurl, so they couldn't fly). I think I'll get them again, as now I also have some mantises that prefer flies (they're getting sick of mealworms and I'm sick of having to hold them up and taunt the mantis into eating them). So I recommend black soldier fly larvae only if your gecko has a good feeding response and doesn't need moving food.

I would have to order them online anyway, and with the weather getting colder that's just not feasible right now. He needs moving food because he has poor eyesight. Crickets were too fast for him and didn't move around enough on the tongs, so mealworms are really his only option that I can obtain easily from the pet stores around town.
