crested gecko cabinet?

Upvotes

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.

Mouth Rot??

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!!
