Hello, I got my gargoyle gecko about a week ago and a half ago, she’s about 3 years old, but she currently will not come down from the top of the tank.

When I turn the lights off at the end of the day, I can catch her maybe coming down to the top brand / branch below that but if I walk back over she freaks out and goes back to the top of the tank…

Even if I don’t go over I don’t really hear her moving around, and I know it takes about 2 weeks for them to get settled but it’s approaching the two week mark and she doesn’t seem much more comfortable.

I’ve been feeding her, and changing water, spraying tank, UVB and LED are on, but the spot she positions herself in is sort out of the light during the day (allll the way at the top of the tank, photo attached)

I’m worried I’m doing something wrong, or is just that maybe she’s more skiitsh and needs more time to settle in.. I’m not sure if she’s eating or drinking, because I haven’t been able to catch her by the food bowl / water

I think I have fungus flies in my enclosure.. I saw them last night not a lot, just a few but I don’t want them to get worse. I read online that I could purchase Mosquito Bits and turn them into a tea / spray the tank.. but I haven’t found anything specific if it’s okay for gargoyle geckos - I just don’t want to spray the tank with this then and then find it’s it bad for the gecko.

I also bought Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade to put around the outside of my tank because I had ants in the room where the cage is being kept.. and don’t want any ants into the enclosure (I hate summer 😢).

If anyone has had any issues with similar bugs or anything please let me know.. first time lizard owner. I have the cleanup crew bugs in there as well- the mosquito bit spray won’t kill them right??

Hi guys, one of my favorite things in books is a variety of personalities being displayed. Some of my favorites are a more cold, aloof, distant etc, FMC. I feel like this is seen more prominently in the MMCs especially in HR but I really love when it’s reversed, the MMC doesn’t need to be any specific personality - just the FMC.

Please no books that involve non con / dub con, cheating, or love triangles thank you :)

Hi guys, I asked this a few months ago but I’d love to see some updates recs from everyone on their favorite Kindle Unlimited Recs! Usually I go off the ones kindle recommends me on the home page, but none of the ones it’s re commending me are really my vibe haha.

I really love books that have drama / high angst, I also love books that take a unique approach / are unique in their genres. No cheating, or Dubcon/Non con thank you

I recently bought a T5 UVB Shadedweller by Arcadia, but upon putting it on my tank I’m really worried that the plants I put in - specifically on the bottom aren’t getting enough light. I have a 18 x 18 x 36 tank, are there any wider UVB lights? Or any other suggestions?

Thank you!
