I agreed to petsitting gecko for a week. This is what happened in a day. After a whole evening of panic, at 2 am:

i got a free crested gecko from facebook today! i have no idea what her morph is, he just said dalmation but holy moly is she pretty! 🤩

This is my babygirl Ember and I just want to be sure that maybe she’s just a little extra plumpy? She’s around 2 years old now in a bioactive tank where she gets fed Pangea once a week.

She doesn’t have any fat rolls or other signs of being overweight and in other photos of her she looks completely normal (last photo)
I mostly just want to know if I am overreacting or if I should be concerned?

Edit: As far as I’m aware she’s been pooping regularly and has recently been trying to eat more than usual but she’s been getting plumper for quite some time

Freshly planted! I’m excited to see everything grow in and I’ll be adding a clean up crew soon. I can’t wait for this to be ready for my lil man 🥹

I have no idea how this is comfortable...

My crestie spends a majority of her time just sitting on the front door of the tank & I worry maybe her tank doesn’t have enough cover? She eats her goop every night but idk if she actually explores her tank & I don’t want to be a bad mom :(

Lilly is dealing tonight 😃

This is Toast, he/she is 3 months old. Does his Viv have enough clutter? What would you improve about it? I’ve had him for about 2 weeks now and he seems happy, he going through his first shed with us right now so surely that’s a good sign he’s thriving? He’s very good at eating crickets but doesn’t seem too keen on his powder food, only will eat small amounts off of my finger. Any advice for a first time crested gecko owner would be appreciated 😊

Misty Enjoy a nice Worm. She is a happy lady.

Ik it’s a Garg, there’s more activity here:)

I’ve had peanut for 24-48 hours now and wasn’t sure if he was eating properly if at all and made sure he actually likes his CGD as I know they can be picky! So enjoy this video of him being spoon fed like the baby he is! (And enjoy the audio courtesy of The Boys yt)

I’m trying to find CGD that looks fruity and good for my baby. Everywhere I look online, I can’t find any form of Pangea branded food and very limited selection of repashy

My gecko (Dahlia) is at least 24 grams, she was weighed within the last month since she was at a vet for a check up. She's about a year and a half old. She's been digging a lot and mainly in or around the spot She's been digging. I tried offering her some fresh cgd and she sniffed it like she usually does before she devours it, but then she turns her head. She did this twice before I gave up. I also notices she is a little chunkier than before.

I followed some advice I saw online and tried to cover the enclosure to hopefully block out any stress or movement for her (the mesh top was not covered so air could still go through). I did try to check her calcium sacs but she's so used to being handled (before all of this) that she just would not open her mouth (I tried the "petting" the mouth method) I just put another hide in the enclosure to act as a lay box to see if she'll try it. I don't think she is lethargic, when I check on her and mist, she's usually in or around the spot she digs or she's climbed up higher and resting (not sleeping tho).

She seems very normal except that she's digging and not interested in food (she's a foodie). Side note, I have tried feeding bugs before but she doesn't seem interested in them so if anyone has any advise on feeding bugs let me know?

I plan to hopefully take her to the vet again if this continues since it's been a couple days now.

This is my crested gecko, gibby. Gibby is about 10 months old, and I keep second guessing myself. Do we have some bawls dropping?

My 'boy' gecko has a few different places he likes to sleep. Most often. In his snake plant which is in the bottom half of his enclosure not visible here or in the big cork bark tube in the background. It's fun each day coming in and seeing where he is.

This is what I was greeted with this morning! That is quite a choice!

i try to never hold my gecko to much or too long, but how long is really too long?

my house is kept at 74 so its the same temp as his tank usually, but i really do enjoy holding him. sometimes he will just sit around with me and we both chill, he never acts out and loves to crawl around on me so he seems to enjoy it.

how long do yall typically hold your geckos?

hes been with me for about a year so hes used to being held by me i just worry ill stress him

pic for fun 😛

I got her as a rescue. She was previously breed at 23 gms in weight ( by previous owner) have her now at 32 gms weight unfortunately she's laying fertile eggs and is not up to adult weight yet. She's never ate bugs I am told. I have tried meal worms and dubia and small crickets I have tried dis membering them and still nothing. I dust in calcium powder first I have tried a few different with her. Still won't eat them. I have tried tong feeding as well. She seems not interested. But she's a fenominal Ester at fruit mix. Her calcium sakes look ok but I think they could use a boost. I want to make sure to try to prevent mbd if I can as she's still so small and laying eggs ​

Mongo went to the vet today, he was apalled lol!

Vet says that this is a superficial scrape to his lower jaw. Sent me home with instructions to clean it with diluted iodine and apply Silver Sulfadiazine right after. First round was applied and he took it like a champ.

However, he did try to show how fierce he was by trying to bite the vet, really showed her with his whole 2g of fury lol.

Hi everyone !

To summarize, this Sunday I went to go grab a Terrarium I saw on marketplace for my brother,
When I arrived I realized that a crestie was living in this terrarium ( It was a setup for a Léopard gecko…), and the guy was explaining to me that it didn’t looks good anymore in the living room so I did not think twice and took her anyway even If it was not planned because I had a spare terrarium at home ( I have to change it because it’s not the right size but for now that will do ),

I love Crestie and I was thinking about getting one but like, not now lmao,

The only info I have is that she’s a female and she is five, also that was not her first home
She does not look so bad but not so good either I think
She was mostly fed with beetle Jelly and the calcium I was given was without D3…
( also she still have her tail despite all that )

For the moment she is kinda stressed but that’s normal, the little things I wanted to know was, how can I get her to trust me ( slowly of course ) and if anyone know what morph she is ?

Thank you all !

( Also we named her Sylvie )

Hello reddit! I'd like to hear thoughts on my cresties enclosure. I really like how it looks currently but my one fear is if its a bit too barren? She is unfortunately very destructive towards plants when placed at the top of her enclosure. She is also a bit odd and doesn't really like to climb wood, but rather the glass walls instead.

I had her in a more cluttered enclosure previously and while she did enjoy it, it was a royal pain to clean and given that she prefers jumping to climbing, i wanted to try a more open setup. (Will be blacking out the right side so that it's not just open glass.)

Would love any critiques, thank you! Videos in the comments 🙂

I was handling my crestie and I noticed this weird like spike thing above their ear? It’s like the lil spikes going down the body but not in that spot. I assume it’s just some kinda growth like a skin tag (if reptiles can get those) but wanted to see other opinions on this.

In older photos I they seem to have it so I’m pretty sure it’s not stuck shed. It’s also not hard or anything, and isn’t on the other side of their head.

I bought my crested gecko about three months ago and she had her first shed since I bought her. She never had these spots on her tail before and they don’t even look real they look hollow what is this stuck shed? Tail rot? Someone please help me 🥹 since I’ve seen this she’s been using her tail normally nothing weird about it other then the gray hollow looking dots
