They have beautiful red streaks down the sides of their face and body and are very friendly. Although a diurnal species, fire skinks enjoy plenty of substrate to burrow in and rarely climb. Because of this, wider cages are often better than taller ones. Here is one of the fire skinks we recently hatched at Fauna.

Leopard geckos are one of the largest gecko species, reaching around 8 or 9 inches in length. The wild type, aka “normal” leopard gecko, is yellow with brown-black spotting as an adult.

They are also completely terrestrial, lacking lamellae on the toe pads that allow other gecko species to walk up vertical surfaces.

Given their longevity, much thought is in order prior to deciding to purchase a leopard gecko. What kind of home do they need? The most common type of housing for leopard geckos is an aquarium. The minimum size should be...
