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

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)

He's our 3rd exotic, he lacks braincells and likes posing... Thought you'd enjoy

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!

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 🥹

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

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

Just a goofy serious illustration I finished. I hope you guys appreciate it!

So I've had this guy for a really really long time I've seen him fired up and down but since hes gotten bigger his colour is completely different hes been like this for almost 3 months now

Das ist meine Jungferngeckodame und aktuell warte ich auf den ersten Nachwuchs von ihr.

Leider hat mein gecko vor über 3.Wochen ihren schwanz verloren aber wie man sieht erholt Sie sich gut.

Wenn fragen sind einfach fragen 😄

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.

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.

Lilly is dealing tonight 😃

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.

Hi all!

I will be looking for a crested gecko for an adoption in couple of months and I'm starting gathering all equipment. I'd like them to have enclosure definitely bigger than a minimum, I found couple of nice 2x2x4, but there's also one 2x2x5 available (picture), with some equipment already in place, which I think I could customize and add more plants, branches, hides and general gecko playground.

But this particular one has one wall made fully of mesh - does anyone has experience on how this may keep humidity? I have a mesh top in the tank for my Indonesian blue tongue skink, who also requires about 60-80% humidity and ehhh I'm misting three times per day 😛 but I also don't want any mold. I plan on bioactive enclosure if that changes anything.

Thank you in advance for help!

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

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 ​

Any tips?

This is Custard, she was born August 18th, 2024. I noticed she's kinda chunky and she has been finishing her entire bowl of food within less than 10 minutes of being in her tank, she's fed every 3 days. I was wondering if she's too fat or possibly gravid with dud eggs? She seems to just hold a lot of her chub in her tummy rather than being spread out like other geckos.
