Geckos

Geckos live up to 20 years in captivity. captivity means kept by humans.

There are over 6,500 species of reptiles which occupy both water and land. All repticles are ectotherms, vertebrates, lay eggs and have scaly skin. They do vary in size and appearance.

All species of beetles are insects, and all insects are invertebrates. They have an exoskeleton, with no backbone or spinal cord. They belong to the Phylum Arthropoda, which includes organisms such as insects, spiders, centipedes and millipedes, and crustaceans.

Vertebrates include only some members of the Phylum Chordata: specifically, mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians.

The earliest gecko species found dated back to 55 - 43 million years ago during the Paleogene period, while the Himalayas were being formed. It was found on the Island of Madagascar, which had detached from Pangea from about 65 million years ago and now resides in the Australian fossil and mineral museum.

These animals have been around for hundred's of thousands of years. They came from every continent except the cold south of Antarctica and still do to this present time.

The earliest known reference for the word gecko comes from the year 1774, from the Malaysian word 'gekoq', said to be imitative of its cry. Earlier forms were chacco (1711), and jackoa (1727).

Crested geckos are omnivores: Their Primary diet consists of fallen fruits, tree saps, natural syrups, pollen, and the occasional insects.

Meat: Defined as pork or beef. is not part of their diet.

Allen Repashy creates a full replacement powder that is mixed with water. This diet consists of all the protien, calcium, and it comes in a variety of flavors!

Do not ever feed a crested gecko Babyfood, Applesauce, or any human food. The foods we eat as human beings are formulated for our body's. Reptiles can not eat Artificial flavourings, preservatives, or sugars. It becomes addicting and very hard to lean them off of.

Yes! definetely.

yes if the leopard gecko doesn't kill it by the time the gecko swallows it then the leopard gecko could have some series problems and end up dead.thank you for asking.

Leopard geckos cannot live with panther geckos. Even though care for both are generally the same, there are some huge differences between the two. Leopard geckos are usually between 7 and 10 inches long (some almost a foot), and panthers are 4-6 (or occasionally up to 8) inches long. This size difference alone could do it. The Leopard geckos would pick on the panther geckos.

Also, the climate of the two needs to be very different. Panther geckos live in southern Madagascar naturally, while Leopard geckos live in Afghanistan and neighboring countries. Panther geckos need higher humidity levels than Leopards, and lower temperatures.

Together, either the leopard gecko, or the panther gecko, will suffer, if not both. Please, don't keep these two creatures together. It won't work out well.

No, A green tree frog is an exothermic (cold blooded) animal. :)

I wouldn't recommend it - for the following reasons...

(1) they're from completely sides of the planet and would never meet each other in the wild.

(2) they need completely different living conditions (the gecko would need a much higher temperature range which would be uncomfortable for the anole)

15 years if properly cared for.
The average lifespan is 10-15 years - though there are always exceptions.

Im not sure if it is recomended... But i keep my fire belly toad and baby razorback musk turtle and some fish in a 10 gallon for awhile now and they have never had any problems.

hope that helped

Yes, they can. While the majority of gecko species lay eggs, there are some gecko species that bear live births, in a method known as vivipary or ova-viviparous.

Some species that bear live births include: Naultinus elegans elegans, Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus, Rhacodactylus trachycephal. In addition, there are approximately 40 gecko species endemic to New Zealand which all give birth to live young. No New Zealand gecko lays eggs.

If the leopard were extinct there would be the possibility of a population explosion of animals upon which it preys. This population increase could result in a decrease in food supply for that animal through over harvesting.

Feed them two or three medium to large worms at a time. Worms are good for turtles, but they are omnivores and need a varied diet so don't make it the only food. Water turtles will eat cooked shredded meats, meal worms, greens like dark green romaine and dandelion greens, which you can float on the surface of their water (and greens make cute hats, as you'll see if they end up on the turtles head as it emerges from the water) and turtle sticks, which contain vitamins. The same rule goes for box turtles and tortoises, too.

Worms are like candy to turtles and can be harmful if they are the only food, so change it up!

Geckos and other lizards do not have protruding ears, the have small holes in the sides of their heads that pick up sound waves.

the normal heat for a leopard geckos is 70-80 degrees that is the correct answer for i have a leopard gecko.

A crested gecko is a species of gecko that enjoys humidity. This species does not require a bowl of water but instead they enjoy daily mistings. By spraying the terrarium this increases the humidity level as well as a water source. The crested gecko will lap up droplettes from the walls of the terrarium or from the accessories.

Barbados Leaf-toed Gecko was created in 1830.

Male leopard geckos will try to attract females by twitching his tail. Then the mail, "love bites" ( more like a grasp with his mouth) on the females neck. Then raising tails, they bring their "back ends" together then the male "vibrates" his "bottom" onto the other females "bottom".

The easiest and safest substrates for leopard geckos in captivity are papertowels. If you are looking for something more visually appealing, most hobbyists will use floor tile. Both are great ways to ensure impaction never occurs as well as very easy to maintain.

Since their bodies are long, low, and not built for speed, as well as having short legs, leopard geckoes don't go very fast. However, my gecko can produce short bursts of speed when hunting or startled, about as fast as a trotting horse, for about a foot.

That is a good question, leopard geckos do not have teeth that are easy to see as they are very small and there are lots of them in a row close together. The teeth are not used for eating like humans but just to grip the insect dinner as their strong jaw muscles squash the insect lunch to submission before swallowing.

i am getting a house gecko and here are some facts they grow 2inch's and live in trees and active at night and for a pet they eat meal worms and crickets but i woad use meal worms because at pet smart they sell them in packages and that's all the facts a got

Im pretty sure, you just have to hold him for awhile. i pet mine on the head while he lies in my hand, and when i stop, and he doesnt look around, i figure he must be sleeping...or i rub overtop of his eye (where his eyelid WOULD start) and he doesnt stick them in his head. the question would be sooooo much easier to figure out if they had eyelids lol :(
