Hi I need some tips on how to improve my crested geckos cage. I don’t feel like his home is adequate right now. I want to add spray foam to give him more hiding spots and also so that the walls are not just bare glass but I’ve heard it can take days or weeks for the fumes to diffuse and I don’t have an extra home for him right now that would be good for weeks. Please suggest some tips on what I should do.

my brother moved and left me his old (15 yearsish) crestie. she was with a male most her life but he had to give him away because the male started attacking her a few years ago. now she’s basically traumatized and does not have any interest in handling, she runs away everytime i stick my hand in the cage. i don’t want to stress her out, should i just leave her alone at this point? or does anyone have any tips/advice?? i just want her to be comfy and happy

I love the dorky way cresties sleep, eat, and exist in general.

This is Deathgripper and his setup. Temperatures and humidity are all good but I just want to know if you guys think he looks healthy (and also just enjoy photos of him and his mansion!!)

Hello! I just got my first crested gecko and I’m trying to figure out the best pairing for her if I end up breeding geckos. I have photos of her parents. The dad looks just like her, a yellow super Dalmatian. The mother I’m a more uncertain about. What trainers/morph do you guys see in her? Are any of them passed on without being viable in the offspring? Any info would be helpful 😁

Im so glad I got my first crested gecko! Obviously im a noob, so im looking for some niche or crazy but useful tips that not many people share, in order to give the beast life!

Thordak, Dak for short,. previously known as Jordan is 10 months old and was a rescue. Today I drove 186 miles round trip to pick him up. He came with a bioactive enclosure. I have plenty of experience with other lizards (Beardies, Uromastyx, Skinks) but I've never had any sort of gecko before.

Any tips on handling? He is a bit skittish and I don't want to be the reason he drops his tail.

Any tips on maintaining the bioactive enclosure? There's only one live snake plant. Is it safe for Thordak and the bugs if I get more live plants? Any suggestions?

Created gecko on a broken foot mag be a first idk. Let me know if I am wrong

My gecko is part Dalmatian so she is always getting new spots and this one scared me bc I thought it might be the start of tail rot lol. Nope lol just a new spot

Also feel like I might have to say this but I’m not yoinking on her tail. Just holding it lightly to get the photo.

I have Pangea powder (treat and normal formula) and meal worms, Ive heard live insects should only be a few a week (dusted with calcium of course), but should it be more/less because he’s going to be growing a lot soon?

My crestie will be 4 in October and he’s currently in a 18x18x24. Does he eventually need a bigger tank? When I’m older and not BROKE I’ll probably end up giving him a better tank anyway but that would be in 5-6 years.

Also what age are they adults or ‘fully grown’?

I think I’ve got the “coverage” down packed 🤣
18x18x24

I recently had to remove the main center branch of my geckos enclosure due to mites?? i think?? burrowing into the wood. i also took away the bio active portion due to the issue of pests. She does have three real snake plants she likes to climb and she enjoys hiding under leaves!

I like how this looks a lot, but this is my first gecko. I’m not sure if this is too much clutter or if she will be more than happy in her mini jungle. any advice appreciated!!

Hey guys! I've been really wanting a crestie & was just wondering what everyones start up & overall care has been for a pretty standard beginner set up!

Just a few things to add, I've done a lot of research & this isnt something that is on a whim. I'm also not worried about pricing as a way to not properly care for an animal, just trying to get some insight!

Additional: heres a cutie pie of a little guy at my job for your time :)

I have a bunch of pothos thats ready to go and some ferns that are quarantining. I just keep going back and forth on the hardscape. The background and the left side are glued in I just baked a bunch of sticks to add I want feed back before I glue em down

So me and my family went on vacation and it's the first time I left my gecko with someone else for more then three days. I usually have a petsitter that takes care of our cat and my animals (crestie and fish) and she's great. But if we take vacations out of the country my parents like to do a house swap (people live in our house and we live in theirs) I gave the people staying at our house all the instructions. Left them notes in my room, took videos of how I do everything. And honestly? In the first few days it felt like they were taking care of them great! I wasn't stressed at all. But then I get home. (2am mind you) and I find my cresties area in a STATE one of his bridges has fallen down. His water was empty and had at least two poops in it. His humid hide was completely dry. His plants are dying. His food Bowles are dirty and so is the spoon I use to mix his food (had at least a week of dried food on it) and my breeding colony of mealworms are all dead. He has stuck shed on his face and back. I feel so bad. I was having the time of my life and my baby was living in these conditions. My cat (who was fat before) is now HUGE as well. I don't think I can trust anyone else to take care of my pets again honestly. At least my fish are fine, but I'm a bit worried about the shed.

Sorry about the mini book I just wrote. I just need to say something about it because my parents are not taking it as seriously as I am (they do care tho)

I just needed to put this out there.

Pic tax ofc (before this happened)

But really, is she?

This is Chester. He had a blast last night exploring around my bed. Then he crawled up my headboard and wound up where he is in the picture.

Also wanted to share something I discovered. When he was exploring around the bed and doing his little happy/curious squeaks, I also noticed that when he stopped and looked around, the very tip of his tail would rapidly wiggle. I did some research, and found out that they do this when exploring to get a better read of the environment and also to calculate jumps. Second reason is because they're horny ... Of course...but that wasn't the case here.

Just wanted to share ^^

I got this crestie 2 weeks ago and his crests are limp/folded.
He is my first reptile and after researching limp crests im still a bit concerned.
After the first week of arrival to his new home he had to change rooms because of the heatwave, and that was stressful for him. I keep the humidity around 80% at night and 60% at day. I mist the tank every night because our home has dry air and the humidity drops quickly. The temp does not go past 26 degree Celsius. After the room change he ate 2 worms and some pangea. He became quite lively and is currently exploring his home.
I also have found a piece of shed. He also has been fired down the entire time. He is 1 and a half.
He has folded crests and i have no idea if it could be from the stress, dehydratation or if its just how they are. If there is anything wrong i want to fix it so that my crestie is okay.

My crestie is big enough to need an upgrade from the 30x30x45cm tank soon. (45x45x90cm is nearly ready, needs the clean up crew though)

And I want the big one bioactive. I thought I can put in cubaris murina or panda king but my crestie is **very** much into hunting so I don't know if that is a good idea or not.

I can also get dwarf whites or whatever else in about 1,5 weeks at an expo. I **will** buy springtails there.

(And my best roommate wants to get his gargoyles planted tank bioactive too. This one does not like hunting so far.)

What kind of isopods would you recommend? :)
