Meet Phoenix, our 4-month old AFT

This is Phoenix, our 4-month old AFT. Oreo-Caramel Morph.

Still learning the ropes on how to get them used to us, but Phoenix is eating locusts and pooping regularly, so those are good signs we are doing something right.

Is she big enough to be put on substrate?

This is my female AFT Gecko Azora. She’s currently 19 grams and her poops have all been healthy and consistent. Is she big enough to be put on substrate?

Switching to Bioactive

Hey! My fat tail, Maple, is turning a year very soon. And for her birthday, I want to go bioactive, or at the very least, a naturalistic enclosure. However, my current enclosure for her is a paper towel setup with some fake plants and a piece of driftwood. In addition, the breeder I got her from had paper towels. How do I properly transition without stressing her out? I also feed her from a bowl so impaction shouldn't be an issue.

My bioactive AFT tank

This is my first time doing a bioactive enclosure of any sort, but I do need some advice on my tank. Is there enough cover or should I add more??

AFT questions

I'll be getting an AFT in a few months as my first eyelid/terrestrial gecko, I've done a lot of research on them but I want to make sure it'll have the best care possible, could anyone give suggestions on good humid hides, heat lamps/heat dimmers and other miscellaneous items? I have a reptizoo 36x18x18 and when I move out I plan on upgrading to a 4x2x2, and I'd love to see some bioactive setups! All extra advice and care tips are appreciated as well, Thank you!

Is her tail too skinny?

I see a lot of pictures here where the tails look quite bulbous while Strawberry’s is a bit slim.

I will note, she had the tip of her tail surgically removed because of necrosis, but it was similarly shaped before that as well. The vet did not say anything was wrong about her weight-wise either.

I feel like her body looks right and healthy but her tail is too small.

I have no idea how old she is either.

She eats about 10 crickets per week.

Let me know what you think!
