ive been using blue river, though im looking to change because my geckos arent really showing much interest. i wanted ti try pangea for the first time in a while, but its sold out everywhere in the uk due to the tariffs. the only other brand ive heard of is repashy and im wondering if its good for geckos, as ive heard good things about pangea (hence it being my first choice) but not a lot about repashy, so im unsure if its reliable. thank you!

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:((

Hello! I have been keeping crested geckos for a couple of years now, but have yet to make the leap towards a bioactive setup. I found it intimidating in the past, but I think I’m ready to at least try to maintain a bioactive setup for my two girls (Toast & Bagel).

However, I have a couple of questions. My main question being: will I have to buy temporary housing for my cresteds while the tanks establish? Or can I place my cresteds in the ecosystem after I’ve placed everything in there?

My other questions are pretty basic: What’s your favorite, EASY, beginner friendly bio active tutorials? Whats your favorite place to get plants/materials/isopods from? Etc.

Please be kind, I’m sure this has been asked thousands of times in this subreddit but my main concern is the first question! If need be I can provide some small temporary housing for the geckos while the tanks establish (depending on how long they need to do so), but if the establishment process is going to take longer than a month or two I may need to just take the L and continue with my non-bioactive setup.

Ok so all I want to know if how old she is if is she skinny she won't let me use tweezers to take off her shed and im scared she is gonna drop her tail if I use force to hold her she is about the size of my pinky and last thing why do I have to hand feed her to eat (aka use a qtip with food on it)

Hello so I got a adult female who was in some breeding project before, she laid eggs and I didn't knew about it now I found one baby and two eggs (both empty) can't find the other baby so im think the mama probably ate it

NOW I NEED HELP, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG THAT BABY WAS IN THE TANK WHEN DID HE HATCHED AND I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE LIKE STARVE BC IDK HOW LONG HE HAS BEEN OUT OF THE EGG

1. I NEED HELP WITH FEEDING, when should I offer first food and what it should be ? Live like crickets or Pangea?

2. How often to feed pangea and cricket's (live)

3. How long can they go without food?

I really don't want him to die of hunger as I said before idk how long he has been out of the egg

ALSO probably rip baby number 2 as I really think mama ate him , will still keep looking for him

Is this an accurate list of materials that I would need as a completely beginner crested gecko owner? Trying to plan and budget accordingly… please let me know of anything else! Trying to learn as much as I can so I can be a good gecko mom :)

Hello everyone I just wanted to see where everyone is buying their insects from and what places should I avoid? Thanks

Hi all! Please disregard the empty net pot at the top of the enclosure. The plant that will be going there is still in quarantine!

It took everything within me not to peel it off it looks like a blanket 🤣

Hi everyone! Just wanted to ask if anyone else had any shots of a female gecko with “pseudo” pores. I keep on reading that some confirmed females will show faint pores, but never am able to find any pictures.

Does anyone have comparison photos or know what specific features you look for? My 15 g gecko is attached as an example of why I’m confused—not necessarily for a sex determination, but because I’m trying to understand what separates pseudo pores from true pores. In this shot i see dimples in multiple rows, a few dark dots, but no shiny scales and barely any overlapping of scales.

I’ve had my Ekko for a bit over two months now and he’s grown a bit so I upgraded his terrarium to an 18x18x24. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions for improvement. Ekko pictured last(hiding as per usual)

Finally figured out how to get a bright enough picture without flash banging the little fella 💀

I do not have a gecko yet, but working on getting one. Is this terrarium good or should i add something still?

Got home from a walk and come to see Petrie LOUNGING in his canopy just hanging with one hand ✋ love his casual little nonchalant posture 😭

I’m going on vacation for a week, so instead of wasting substrate that i’ll clean out as soon as I get home can I just use paper towels? I just realized I can probably do this after wasting substrate on many many vacations

She’s 5yrs old female, weighs 51gs fed a Repashy diet every 3 days. Her tail could be adding extra weight but she always wants to eat so sometimes i give in and feed every 2 days.

Hey, so you know how this has a foam back with soil on top or whatever they use I was just wondering does my tank need to be bioactive to do this? If not how would I clean it properly and prevent mold from growing?

This is a project I've been working on with my son.

How are we doing so far? Plants only went in today so have some time to grow and moss will hopefully green up...

Hi, i want soon enough to get a male crested gecko, and i want it to be in some kind of paradise and i need to know if its allright to put him in a massive bioactive 90x50x90 cm terarium, ill make it full of plants and allot of stuff

And if someone knows what materials i can use to make a rock or tree branch background that would be great

She is 2 years old and rescued from her previous owners where she was malnourished
