Resources & References
Below are resources I use for supplies and feeders, as well as references and links to helpful articles, websites and videos. I do not make any money from any of the links or anything like that, I just love to learn and share information, especially pertaining to geckos! If any links do not work or the info is outdated, please let me know! I try my best to keep up with current standards and information, and welcome others’ input and experience!

Supplies & Feeders
My favorite places to get reptile feeders are Joshsfrogs.com, RainbowMealworms.net, and Dubia.com. I also buy locally at shows if I go. I don’t vend at shows and at this time do not have plans to. I see it as too much of a biosecurity risk for my animals. That said, it’s a great place to buy locally-grown feeder insects and meet like-minded reptile peeps!
For Pangea gecko food (Meal Replacement) I buy locally, direct from Pangeareptile.com or on Chewy.com.
I prefer Chewy.com over Amazon if I can find it there, but for things I do get on Amazon: ReptiChip bedding, two of my favorite artificial plants here and here, 40ml metal ramekins for water, ceramic insect feeder dishes (best for mealworms), and 1/2oz sample cups that I use for feeding.
I use the sample cups when making and freezing large batches of meal replacement for gargoyles and crested geckos. Then once done they go in the compost.
