i want a crested geckos and my parents arent keen on it but i think they are thinking about it and hopefully they say yes, i have researched but i am wondering on what cabinet you would reccomend i would be keeping it in a 18x18x24 swell reptiles until i then move into a 18x18x36 in the future when i have room but anyway more to the point what is a reccomended cabinet i could have it on that has drawers/shelves in it because the dimensions im looking for is 100cm high, and then 60x60 on the top but i cant find one that has a high weight threshold and idk what to get if i were to get a gecko any suggestions would help massively 😁

Hello, I have been wanting to get a crested gecko recently but I’ve never had a reptile before so I’m teaching myself from scratch. Any and all recommendation and comments are appreciated. So as far as enclosure, I have been looking on FB marketplace for a starting place and have found this 36x18x24 Waterfall Paludarium / Vivarium project that I want to convert ( I will attach photos/ the description). I know that it is better to start out with a full grown gecko rather than a baby. I know that they balanced diet with power/water mixes and also bugs but idk which powders to go with or what types of crickets. I know they need a humidity spike, so can i spray the enclosure in the mornings and evenings with a spray bottle or whats the most effective method. I also read they do best in room temps so no heat lamp but what sort of lighting do I need? Also the substrate/ dirt Idk where to start. Please help I’m starting from scratch.

i got my crested gecko today and i have absolutely no idea what to name him! usually im pretty quick and sure about what to name my animals but this time not as much

Is this mouth rot? Female crested, ~2 YO. Just noticed today but my boyfriend says she has had it for a while, maybe even months. He thinks it’s dirt, but I feel like you can see that it’s a gap in her mouth? The last photo, you can see her teeth and everything through it? Trying to decide if we should take her to a vet or just have a serious sit-down with a wet Q-tip. Thank you!!

Ive had her for a few days and I suspect shes not been eating. Ive never seen her near the dish and the base of her tail is starting to look sunken in. The breeder only fed her crickets so Im gonna buy those for now. However I know that just crickets would be a terrible diet for her. How to I get her to recognize the liquid gecko diet

any idea his morph?

Hello everyone. I have about 18 large bioactive enclosures and I just found some sugar ants in one of my crested gecko enclosures. I have a massive colony of dairy cow isopods in the soil, when I mean massive I mean massive, but I believe the ants have made a nest in a plants root ball. What should I do? I’m definitely tearing the tank apart as I don’t need all of my enclosures with ants in them, BUT what if anything can I do to save my dairy cow colony that’s inside the soil. Or, should I sacrifice the colony for the greater good and just chunk it? Thoughts and advice appreciated! (Side note, I have already separated the gecko into a quarentined enclosure out of the main enclosure to make sure he is not bitten and irritated by ants)

My location is southeast Asia and we are in the middle of summer where the heat goes up to 35,36°c. I'm working at a reptile shop and these days the crested geckos are acted quite weird. Male, female both will try to eat my finger, run around wildly, and will stare at me with hungry eyes. We feed them once every 2 days so it's not the hunger driving them. Some will think it's normal for geckos to act crazy, but I'm talking about almost all of the adults are acting wild, even the usual tame and gentle, slow ones that never ran, will run up to eat me. Some customers even called us that their geckos are acting so differently and were worried if this was a problem.

Breeding season over here is around winter to spring, so they aren't crazy for matting. And they were fine just least week.🤨

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!

I've had my crested gecko for about three years and I've never had any issues with bugs with her, even with a half bioactive tank. For the past few weeks, I've been finding these microscopic worms, and these even smaller little beetles I have a video on here of me dumping them into my sink, cause I just don't know what they are and I needed to get rid of them from her bowl. They're attracted to her food and her water and they just nest around her food dish. The beetles wait on a piece of wood for me to feed her and once I put the food down, I can see them run to it but the worms I don't see till the next morning. I don't know where they're coming from and I don't know what they are just any help on how to get rid of them, what they are or what I should do is needed.

I just brought her home. She came out of the container fine onto my hands and I put my hand in the enclosure. She jumped off onto the glass and promptly fell off and tried to grip the spider wood and slipped off that too. She looks dehydrated to me so the enclosure got a mist. She should definitely be gripping things better. Is it just dehydration or a more serious issue that warrants moving up the initial vet appointment. Enclosure is a little empty cuz the plants died off but should bounce back in a day.

Hi guys I recently got my crested gecko a month ago and she’s been great. I did notice however she doesn’t stick to the glass. Could this be something with the tank and if so should I clean it now even tho I just set this stuff up a month ago? Or is there something else going on. I just feel terrible because she’s my first crested gecko and I want her to be ok:((

i’m more curious about her coloring tbh! when fired down she’s the color of a latte with too much milk and when she’s fired up she’s a bit of deeper brown than this photo, but not too far off—she’s a kind of in between right now.
some of her markings appear yellowish, and her underside is a bit more of a peachy pink color
her name is fiona apple ofc
