depends on cage size and animal count... most people say weekly... i say treat their home like your own... spot clean when necessary, major clean when necessary... feces should be removed whenever spotted regardless what species... if it looks dirty/dusty clean it... if it smells, clean it more often and disinfect it now

Leopard Gecko, they sound overrated, but they're not.
If you do not give attention to a Crested Gecko, it will turn into the spawn of satan.
I once had a Crested Gecko, big guy, could make you bleed, I think he was just naturally mean and emo 
He screamed out a high-pitched girl/cat noise when I had to get him out of his cage to clean it

Just a case of different strokes for different folks. Look at how many people would think you're nuts just for the snake you do have. 
Tape, I'd recommend you see if there is a herp show anywhere in driving distance in your neck of the woods. Prices tend to be significantly better and the selection of critters too.

you're absolutely right pavel, and i should support her as i am the reptile lover... so i should make the transition as easy as possible... i know... but i pic out a spectacular specimen, she makes that face of disapproval and it's like darn... then we leave with nothing... probably a good thing, but disappointing once you are excited or get your hopes up.
EDIT: also most people think i'm crazy at one look so most understand the snake... they only start calling me crazy to my face once they find out my 6' boa sleeps just out of reach from my daughter in her crib... like 3' away.

So why not try a his and hers deal? Let her pick out her lizard and you pick out yours? |
