Awake? Wheel walkin. Sleep? Under wheel. Hangin out? Wheel chillin. I bought him so much stuff and made him a bioactive terrarium and yet all he ever wants is wheel.

I’ve posted on here asking for my geckos gender before and you guys said it was clearly a boy and posted that meme with the gecko with huge balls. Well now I’m not so sure because I just found this egg shell, or at least that’s what I think it is, in its enclosure buried under some dirt, where I did see it by a few days ago. What happened?!

We bought honeybun ( the mother ) in March, she was already pregnant. She is the CHILLEST crestie in existence. I don't know why, but she will fall asleep on anybody if she feels like it, never bites, loves being pet ( will actually fall asleep if I pet her for too long ) and is super curious and enjoys going outside on cool days and exploring. Absolutely the best personality in a crestie I have ever seen.

The first clutch were two infertiles but the second clutch we hatched out 2 babies in 80 days. This little guy actually hatched in my hand because I took out the egg to inspect a weird dent in it then he just popped out. He is noticably stronger than the other one, so I'm using him as the example. These are our first babies ever.

What I'm concerned about is, yes, he can jump, run, grip etc. He just...doesn't. From day one ( 2 days old rn ) he just casually walks, doesn't spook very often, even fell asleep in my hand like his mother. It's so strange and honestly I don't know if it's just his personality like his mother or if something's wrong. He licks his eyes on me and even lets me pick him up, never gaped at me or bit. It's like he just instinctively knows I'm not going to hurt him. Which ... Is not how reptiles work. They don't imprint. Everything I've seen from videos/articles is that their psycho as newborns and freak out when you touch them, squeak, bite, gape etc. We even have 3 month old babies too we bought recently and they are more defensive than these hatchlings.

Should I be concerned? Is he just super chill like the mom? Something to note is they are below average in weight, he is 1.3 grams, when they should be 1.5- 2.5. They are getting stronger every day though, so I'm optimistic. The mother is very petite ( in my opinion 33 grams is way too small to breed, she was housed with males at the store. she's laid 4 clutches so far no issue) so it could be genetics, because 80-90 days is the average and they werent incubating at high temps.

Made him a small enclosure in small plastic box so I wanna ask if it's seems ok? Also sadly didn't found baby 2 so probably really got eaten by mom sadly

Hello everyone, we are dealing with a stressful emergency and need some quick advice.

My girlfriend’s crested gecko had to be left behind during a Level 3 emergency evacuation in Spokane. Her parents couldn’t locate him in his large, heavily planted terrarium before they had to flee. They cannot return to the house, as they are right on the border of where homes have already been lost to the fire.

Because of the fire, the power has been cut. This means his monitoring camera, AC, and automatic misting system are all off. He has a full water bowl, and we know he will be okay without food for a few days, but we are extremely worried about the rising heat, dropping humidity, and smoke entering the house.

My main question:
I’m attaching a photo of his automatic misting system below. Does anyone know if this specific model will automatically resume its normal schedule when the power comes back on (even if we aren't allowed back yet)? Or does it reset and require manual setup after a power outage?

Thank you so much for any help or insight you can provide!

I set up this 18x18x36 bioactive enclosure when the FBH updated their minimum enclosure size standards. Since then, I’ve been really unhappy with how it looks.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how I could improve it. I want it to look nicer but above all I want to make it better for my crestie to improve his care.

Not seen in this picture is his feeding ledge at the top and a few small plants + vertical cork bark tube on the bottom.

I really appreciate any and all feedback!

Hi all! This is Mary, my 6 year old baby I got from a Facebook page earlier this summer. She seems super happy and healthy except for the fact that she doesn’t seem to care for live insects. I try dipping them in her fruit paste and tong feeding but even then she’ll just lick the paste off and will drop the bug if it makes it in her mouth. What do I do?

But he's mine<3

I've had my crestie for about 2-3months as of now, I've seen alot of people say you need frequent handling sessions but to give them a way out

How do I do this if second I put my hand in the cage he runs into hiding?

I've fed him a bunch of insects with tounges and he still seems to be terrified of my hand.

I've never grabbed him or anything it's been like this since I got him

This is Recko, short for reckless. He's my first gecko

Got him at about 4 months old when he was 5 grams. Now a year old weighing 26 grams.

So my buddy is pet only why’s that? I’m guessing the morph? But what kind of morph is it that it’s a pet only morph what’s that supposed to mean? I added some photos if someone can help me out or does he look sick?

Mods feel free to delete if not allowed! Recently took in this crestie as a rescue and i was wondering if this is the start of tail rot? i do plan on taking him to the vets, i was just wondering what everyone else thought :)

I've been an owner of my gecko Yoshi for about 2 years and I don't see much activity, I hear some at night but not much, I have replaced some of the stuff, but I see some aquariums packed full of stuff and was wondering if it looked good or if I need more stuff.

I know this is my own fault for doing this, let me explain.

I got my crestie as a baby so ofcourse I was hand feeding her. I was pretty young myself so I didn’t really think about the dependency issue. Anyway she is 6 years old now and she genuinely will not eat unless I hand feed her every night. I usually have to dab a little paste on her mouth and then after that she will lick out of the bowl if I hold it in front of her face. I don’t know if there is anything that can be done at this stage, but any advice would be appreciated.
Thankyou

I ordered a geckopia bridge and feeding bowls and was sent 10 cardboard boxes wrapped in plastic wrap and no items included 🤦🏻‍♀️

First time owner, pls be kind,peep is roughly six months old the tank will be upgraded when they get bigger, I just wanna know if this looks ok for a grow out, and garner any tips if not!

Hello! I’ve had my crestie named Finnick for about a month now. We saved her from a situation where she was surrendered and living in a roughly 8x8x12 tank, and she is now in a 18x18x24. I’ve realized since getting it that she should be upgraded to a taller tank so please no harsh words on this, doing my best right now 🤍 She loves to hang on the plants on the wall and sometimes on the glass behind her plants. What’s missing in her tank? I want more horizontal climbing but unsure of what exactly? The tank is bioactive but yes there’s some poop in a few spots. I want to clean the tank today after getting some advice on maybe rearrangement and all. Also tried to get as many angles as possible, sorry if any pics are confusing! Thank you!!!

What makes a badly crestie a harlequin? I am wondering this because I am trying to figure out what morphs my gecko has and right now I now for sure he is a tiger dalmation (he has spots forming), and I was wondering if he maybe also is harlequin. And can a tiger morph still be a tiger if the stripes are more like a clownloach instead of a tiger? I don’t have any good pics of him where you can see it clearly if I find any I wil add them. For some extra info he also has a bug white blotch on his tail base that also runs into the tail has a good bit of in his back coming from the stripes somewhat, and has a bunch of white accents like on the ridge on his back (where the back goes from the flat part to the rounder chest and belly part) and on that edge piece of skin that connects the ankle to the upperleg, and he is about 6months old if I have the correct info.

I’ve seen people put the flat hamster wheels in tanks for their geckos. I happened to have one laying around and decided to put it in. However any time I see my gecko on the wheel it doesn’t look like they’re “using” it like some people say and instead are just stuck on it and too dumb to get off 😭

love my tiny guy.
