Have you ever been so lucky as to buy a bag of grapes in the supermarket and get a free lizard with them? For most people, this an unlucky experience and a rare one. However, when it does occur it often makes headlines in the local media. More
As an experienced gecko keeper and “gecko forum junkie” I respond to many posts from people who have just gotten their first gecko, or are planning to get their first gecko. They understand that taking care of a living creature is an important responsibility. For the most part, they’re concerned about providing the proper care, about figuring out which of the conflicting instructions they see online and from pet stores is correct, and about interpreting their gecko’s behavior correctly. This all makes sense: with any new undertaking there are concerns about “getting it right”. The learning curve is steep and usually, with a bit of guidance, the “newbie” gets more comfortable and figures out what to do. More
Gecko Time has been publishing for nearly 11 years now, and though the article frequency has waxed and waned, we’ve been consistent in bringing you high quality articles, from a wide variety of people about a wide variety of gecko related subjects. More
Ideally we’ll own all of our geckos for many years. They’ll live comfortable, happy lives, and one day, perhaps at the advanced age of 20 or more, they just won’t wake up. We’ll miss them, but we’ll be satisfied that they had a long and happy life. Of course, it doesn’t usually work out this way. More
Gecko breeders spend a lot of time discussing various “morphs” of those gecko species for whom breeders have developed different patterns and colors. To the best of my knowledge, there is no formal, universally accepted definition of what exactly is a “morph”. More
The unprecedented changes in our lifestyles and daily rhythms due to COVID-19 cause me to reflect on my own 3-year experience living with contagion, infection and death –Cryptosporidiosis. More
Gecko Time online magazine published its first articleon March 7, 2009. During the past 10 years, Gecko Time has been an important resource to the gecko community with the wide range of articles it has published. Articles have included interviews, DIY instructions, product reviews, species and genus profiles, genetics information as well as many other topics.
Ten years is a long time, and is more than half a lifetime for some of our younger gecko keepers. More
Gecko Time recently had an opportunity to interview Zach Brink, the Fauna Curator of Josh’s Frogs More
Bart seems to think he’s a flying gecko. Or perhaps he thinks he’s an impresario. In a household of 65 or more reptiles, most of them geckos, it takes a large “personality” to stand out, and Bart certainly does. Every evening, the loudest sounds in the gecko room, also known as my living room, are the thumps of Bart jumping from one glass wall to another and sometimes crashing and burning in a spectacular way on the pothos leaves when he miscalculates.

Gecko Time has gotten many frantic requests for assistance from people whose geckos have escaped their cages ever since running the article Find an Escaped Gecko in January 2010. In addition to the understandable worry about re-locating a missing pet, there is usually tremendous concern about clutter in the house, cats, dogs and openings in walls or stairwells that will make the retrieval job more difficult. Even the miraculous story of one of my geckos found after 2 years sojourn somewhere in the house doesn’t seem to help people feel better. Though I can’t guarantee that a lost gecko can be found, I thought that a few more stories about miraculous gecko (and one non-gecko) finds might rekindle some hope. More
For years, the specter of the dreaded protozoan disease, cryptosporidiosis, has worried gecko owners. “Crypto” is highly contagious, incurable, hard to kill and ultimately fatal. A more detailed description is available in an article written in 2009 by Marcia McGuiness. Unfortunately, this devastating disease has invaded my gecko population here at Geckcessories. More
For many years it seemed as if African Fat Tail geckos were simply drab cousins of the much more popular leopard geckos. With the advent of new morphs such as whiteout, zulu and oreo, the fat tail palette colors and patterns has exploded and their popularity has soared. Despite this, it was very difficult to find people willing and able to answer some of Gecko Time’s questions about them.
