I want a Collared lizard! How do I find a reputable breeder nearby?

What's the best cheap gecko for a beginner with a 20-gallon tank?

Leopard geckos are great "starter" reptiles. They don't require special lighting (UVB) like other reptiles. A 20 gallon tank is big enough for one. Add a heat source, hides and a water bowl and you are good to go. You can review gecko care at the links below. http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Lizards/Leopard-Gecko/ http://www.anapsid.org/leopardgek.html

How can I improve my reptile's tank setup for safety and comfort?

Ideally, the UVB light source should run the entire length of the tank. A thermometer/hygrometer should be on each end of the tank to confirm cool and warm sides. Use a digital thermometer to verify temps. Those little ones you have can be inaccurate. Provide a hide on both sides as well. Personally, I would remove the fake grass as it has the potential to cause eye injuries. Your tank looks good otherwise.

My reptile's toe looks odd, skin peeling. Is it stuck shed?

Soak him in warm water for 15-20 minutes daily until the bit of shed falls off. Monitor for swelling, discomfort, redness, lameness or lethargy. Keep his enclosure clean. If he develops any of the above symptoms, have him examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles.

Why is my reptile not shedding, has shut eyes, and green liquid?

Soak Razor in warm water for 15-20 minutes. Gently rub off any loose shed but do not pull or tear at it. If he is wiggly, you can place him in a small container with paper towels moistened with warm water for 15-20 minutes. The moist heat and humidity should help with the shed. Make sure he can breathe in the container. You can put this moist hide in his enclosure so he has a place to go when he is shedding. Monitor his stool and submit a sample to your vet to diagnose intestinal parasites if you see more "green liquid".
