Mourning geckos, day geckos, and other tiny reptiles can make great pets, but their babies are very small and can escape easily from most enclosures. Have no fear, Clint will show you an inexpensive and easy DIY vivarium that will work even for the tiniest of inhabitants.

Merry Christmas, everyone! If you haven't yet seen our video on mourning geckos, don't miss it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gppze6iYypvbnJc.html It's the perfect way to celebrate Christmas mourning (no spelling error). It has virgin births and gifts that keep on giving. Heck, it might become your new Christmas tradition. Move over Home Alone, one is never alone with parthenogenesis!

I love the idea of using the jar, I had never thought of that. I may have to build an enclosure that makes use of two 5 gallon cheese ball jars glued together to provide a bit more space. Another fun addition to a cheese ball jar would be some hamster tunnel for the geckos to explore in. They're native to caves and would probably love the chance to run around a little cave system. And since you can get such large amounts at one time, when they inevitably lay eggs in it, you can swap out pieces to relocate the eggs!

I really, really want to start bioactive enclosures. I am going to have to practice on some regular terrariums first, but this is a hobby that fascinates me--bringing nature indoors--and when it comes to my critters like frogs and lizards I really don't feel that inclined to take them out and play with them so these guys I think would be wonderful little pets once I get to this level. I love tiny animals.

I've always loved lizards. I had my first chameleon I bought at the state fair. He had pipe cleaner on a chain so you could "wear " him..this was long before PETA or other animal advocates. I thought he would like a fly to eat.....mind you in was 7...so I caught a fly and put it with my "Lizzy" and left him under our mesh pool cleaner out in the bright hot Sacraments sun and left him to "eat ". I came back awhile later to find my Lizzy was v Now lizard jerkey. I felt sooo horrible but the lesson was learned. Don't put any animal out in the sun for 6 hours.
