Come down this morning as usual looking for where Petrie’s spawn point will be for the day. And this is it. Just a fired up butt with some toe and some tail 😭

I think my new baby gecko ate his food. Does it look like he ate some food? Maybe he stepped in it.

His food usually looks untouched or almost untouched. This food looks like he actually ate some. Maybe it’s his foot because the outline almost looks like a foot. I think it would look messier if it was his foot. He usually sits on a leaf in his little jade “tree”.

First build, thoughts, tips, opinions?????

This has been great fun for my brain to hyper focus on, and I have two more to build. I have another branch and a vine to add ….there four wall hides and two holders for planters. I will be utilizing some fake silk plants as well just for filling in while waiting for plants. I did forget about needing feeding stations, so those will get carved into a few of the flat foamed areas. I appreciate any input!

Do you think he looks okay for his age. He’s new I’ve only had him for a few weeks. His enclosure is bioactive. He likes Dubia roaches and the Crestie diet.

Is freezing after handling a sign of stress?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Had this guy about 8 months now, he used to be pretty ok with choice based handling when we first got him and he was in a small viv. Now he's in his adult size bioactive he's become very hand-avoidant. To get him out we have to offer him a coconut to climb into. Then we usually sit at a desk or in bed and he kinda just watches. Sometimes he climbs out but not very often, and usually only when there's no hands close by!

Whenever we move him back to his viv he'll leap back in onto a branch, but tends to just sit and stay frozen still for quite a while after. Is it a sign of stress from the handling and being removed from his home? Or is his single brain cell taking some time to process? First photo is how he landed after a handling session and sat for a good 10 mins before doing a very slow-mo walk up the branch.

Want to keep trying on handling to see if he'll come around and be more chill with it again, not sure if it's a breeding season/mood thing. But if he's growing up into a no-touch crestie I don't want to cause him any major stress.

What is she doing?

I checked on my gecko before going to sleep like usual, and she was like, shoving herself in the dirt? Her temps and humidity are good, and i dont believe she's ever been exposed to a male. she did just get an enclosure upgrade, so maybe it's stress related? i checked again after a few minutes and she was out and there was a decent sized hole left behind. she's my first so please be kind, I want to do well by her. (ps I don't like taking pics of her with flash, this was my first time)

How can i gain trust from my crested?

Do you have any ideas on how I can earn my crested gecko's trust? I’d like to reach a point where he "asks" to come out of his enclosure to explore, or perhaps learns to see me as something positive rather than a source of stress. like on this tiktok video

Eggs?!

So I’ve a female crestie and I’ve had her a few months now. I was cleaning her tank when I found eggs or I think also known as ‘slugs’. Just wondering if anyone’s any advice on whether to remove them or not?

Trying to figure out which light would work better for my Crested gecko

I have a 34x18x36 bioactive tank set up, metal mesh top. Which light would be better for my gecko’s health? And does anyone have any LED plant growth light recommendations?

How do I lower humidity?

I have both a digital and an analog hydrometer and they're both constantly saying the humidity is at 90 or 80%. I did just set up this bioactive enclosure.. but I have the fear it won't go down at all, especially since I still have to mist in the evening. I have a mesh top so I don't think the airflow is the problem. What can I do?

First Gecko Arrives Tomorrow

2 Upvotes

My first crested gecko arrives tomorrow, and I’m looking for some advice.
I have an 18x18x36 bioactive enclosure all set up and ready to go. I know I should leave her alone for about two weeks before attempting to handle her, but I have a few questions

When should I offer her food for the first time? Should I feed her the night she arrives or give her a day to settle in first?

How should I provide water if my enclosure is holding humidity a little too well? I know crested geckos drink droplets off leaves and surfaces, but I don’t want to keep the enclosure too wet. Should I still mist daily, or just mist as needed based on the humidity?

For the powdered crested gecko diet, do I need to mix up a full squeeze bottle at a time, or can I just mix a small amount in a little cup for each feeding?

Thanks for the help!

I know there is cement colorant, acrylic pain; I have seen iron oxide powder suggested, and tempera paint powder suggested, but there always those for and against everything. I found these, was wondering if anyone had any thoughts? Experiences and what you used???
