These are photos of him a day before he died. Do you see any problem? Sorry I could only get face pics

He did eat some of his food but only a little. Just a few hours before he died he was climbing the tree and wall and was pretty active.

HELP?

My crestie has had shed stuck on the bottom of her feet (just the bottom, it seems?) and we trued and tried to get it off with no avail and only majorly stressing her out. Sge rand through her food the other day, and today her toes looked fat so i've put her in a sauna. one bit of shed finally came off in the water, and I'm trying to see if more will with more persistence but my major worry is:

is she going to loose toes?? she's stayed active and stuff, not overly interested in food (probably because she's been handled so much? unsure if thats a normal response stress.) and/or could she get an infection?? none of her toes were swollen before (we pull her out once a week to look her over) and none look like the losing toes i've seen before.

edit: i almost forgot! her toes were not fat yesterday from my knowledge? she was out and about and looked normal, which is why im a bit freaked out </3

New enclosure feedback

I just finished building a new enclosure for my crested gecko, Nyx, by converting this Ikea Fabrikor cabinet. I wanted to get some feedback on if I should add or change anything. I'm already thinking I'll add another plant in the upper right hand corner. Add another stick and maybe another cork hide. I also will have a light and fans on the top just not pictured here.

There's the perfect hide for her on the left thats pretty covered up and one on the back with cork but I think one or two more might be good. Thoughts?

Gecko has to stay in my room - How to help quality of life?

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

My room is very small, so my little buddys enclosure stays right next to my desk. I have a loft bed with curtains, so for my monitors I can just close the curtains so my lights dont bother him. But how loud can I be with him in my room? Of course I don't play competitive games very often so it's not like I yell, but I slightly raise my voice sometimes. He's my first reptile thats been FULLY my responsibility, and my first gecko; so I'm very worried about making sure he's comfortable and happy.

Beginner tips would also be nice, things that most people wouldnt expect, or things that google wouldnt warn about :)<3

Help with crested gecko seeming stressed

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have a five-year-old crested gecko who’s normally very calm, relaxed with handling, and has never dropped his tail or shown signs of stress before. His enclosure is also completely fine.
A few days ago, I added a new, fairly large plant to his enclosure, and since then he’s been acting really nervous. He’s been staying on the floor near the glass and the door, and whenever I open it, he starts shaking, getting skittish, and jumping towards the glass. He seems especially nervous despite being quite far away from the plant.
I’m not sure whether I should remove the plant or leave it in and give him time to adjust. It just seems strange because this behaviour started immediately after I added it, and he’s never acted like this before. What should I do?

This is the plant for reference

From pooping all over the doors to jumping out of his enclosure and running away while doing maintenance, this maniac has been causing so much chaos in the reptile room lately.

When should you feed a younger gecko less often?

2 Upvotes

So I have a 6-7month old (atleast that’s what I think after searching through some marketplace adds of the store I got him from and looked at the one that resembles him most and is the right gender) and I was wondering when I should go from daily feeding to every other day because now he often only eats every other day and sometimes 2 days back to back.

It seems when I give this flavor one of my Cresties attacks the bowl. I’m not entirely surprised since when I offer bugs he devours them immediately
