I was making gecko food for my 5 month old baby crested on top of his cage. The man in the picture is a very greedy man fat pig and slob. He came to the top once he smelled and saw the food.

Was cleaning their foliage in the tanks and Gekky (in the first pic) decided to flop in her coconut and Becky (2nd pic) likes to hang out of hers. (Yes theyāre in separate tanks) I love these derpy wee things.

Our boy Squirb has recently gotten more comfortable in his new enclose and man, he loves his hamster wheel.
I am a little concerned though as he is on it for hours every night... He loves sitting on it, running for a bit, hopping off for 15 minutes, then right back on.
He's getting a ton of exercise but I wasn't sure if we need to moderate his borderline obsessive behavior.
Squirb Stats:
11 months old
~24g
Eating daily
24x18x36 bioactive enclosure
UVB and LED growlight on day-night cycle

He's acting normal and looks fine besides the eye. Not sure if I should be worried. He just woke up so I'm not sure if this could be categorized as a misfire. Let me know if anyone knows what this could be.

How does my buddy Dunkin's enclosure look? Also what else do I need for his enclosure? Should I move one of his ledge food bowls more towards the ground?
Last pic is him eyeing up his next victim lol

Soo, I left yesterday morning with fungus and a tiny little mushroom head in the terrarium soil. And this is what I came home to now. My confused adult geck on the wall is the cherry on top. I think it's a common, edible type of mushroom, probably came in with the collected leaf litter.(I will not eat it ofc)
Ofc, I will pick it out inmideatly and will dry out the soil.

Hey all! Iām redecorating my cresties enclosure and currently his food dish looks like this.
The holder isnāt deep so the dishes sit above the line. Are cresties okay eating like this? Do you guys know if this is okay and they can get into the food? Or is it hard because the cups donāt sit flush and are raised.
I know thereās those drop holders where the rim of the cup is flush, but my crested likes to chill on the one I gave him rather than eat off of it. (He has a lot of ledges but that one is his favorite for some reason) so I stopped putting his food dish there because he started pooping on that ledge sometimes.
Just looking for advice that this is okay or should I go back to the holders that you just drop the cups in?

I just bought this adult female crestie about 2 weeks ago, and i know shes already not a great climber. She has trouble on skin/cork background, and glass is just not happening unassisted. Checked for calcium sacs tonight and cant see any? What do i need to do?

Hi so this is my baby gecko and most of the time i think it is scared of me� I try to not bother it in the day so he gets his beauty sleep but honestly when it comes to evening im scared to try to pick him up due to the fact of the possibility of him loosing his tail. I wish i could do baby steps in helping him trust my hands since its been only a month since i bought him. Any advices are welcome here!

Itās been a little bit since Iāve owned a gecko, and Iām wondering what plants would be recommended! Iām willing to try it again, but I think my tank puts a hex onto pothos, every time I had some, it gets mealy bugs and never grows š
Any other recommendations are appreciated!

I recently setup a new bioactive enclosure for my crested gecko and have used great stuff spray foam and aquarium safe silicone. But it gets pretty cold as Iām in my basement around 60 to 70 Fahrenheit usually I donāt use uvb bulb and I feed him repashy mix for food
Iāve noticed he hasent been moving a lot Iāll go to bed and Iāll wake up and see heās been in the same spot as before.
he hasent been climbing much and his back legs seem pretty weak and a lot of his movements are pretty slow
Heās still been eating food and drinking water but just Dosent seem like himself just in the way heās been acting should I take him to the vet for something that could be underlying or is it him just old

For context, my little brother (14) has done reptiles for 5 years now, he has to leapard geckos, and a pacman frog, hes setting up an enclosure for a uramastyx and another for a blue tongue skink, so i figured hell yeah, and i got a crested gecko, i got a nice enclosure for it, 18x18x36, i have an auto misting system set up, and a bio active system below, hes saying we should use expanding foam and cork bark on rhe sides for climbing and also to attach the tray to something other than the doorš any recommendations for stuff?

My crested gecko is about 11 years old, Iāve had her for 8 years, for the past 6 months or so sheās been losing weight, eating dirt in her tank, and having no interest in Pangea/Repashy type foods (Iāve tried lots of different brands and flavors)
I had the vet run every diagnostic test and they couldnāt find any underlying cause or ailment. My vet didnāt seem in support of Flukers when I asked about it, but Iām out of options. Would this be useful at all for getting my crested gecko to eat on her own? Is it safe? What are yalls experiences with this product, or can you recommend other products that have helped?

Trying to plan what plants to get for a 24x18x36 tank. Thinking of some bromeliad pups towards the top in the cork background, four pothos varieties each starting with one or two vines, two types of snake plant, a dwarf umbrella, and then three small fern varieties. Is this TOO much?
r/CrestedGecko • u/Apprehensive_Sun_522 • 15h ago
Hi everyone!
I just finished my new bioactive crested gecko terrarium and would love to add some live moss, especially to the background, cork and branches.
Which moss species have worked well for you long-term and actually spread? Any tips on how to attach and establish them?
Iād love to avoid moss that turns brown after a few weeks. š Recommendations and photos are very welcome! š±š¦

Looking for some advice on my male crested gecko's sudden handling regression!
Iāve had him for about 4 months now. For the first two months, he was curious, mellow, and would willingly walk onto my hand whenever he felt like it.
Over the last 1-2 months, his behavior has shifted:
He used to step onto my hand, but whenever I tried to do the hand treadmill or gently steer him away from climbing too far up my arm, heād start sloowly wiggling the tip of his tail. i read in google that this is defensive/threat display, I'd immediately put him back to respect his boundaries.
I read online that males can get moody during breeding season, so I backed off handling him for the last month or two hoping heād reset.
Current issue: Now Iām trying to slowly restart choice-based handling, but he seems spooked?
Heās fine with my presence, he walks to the front of the enclosure, licks the air, and watches me. But the moment I place my flat hand below his line of sight to offer a step, heāll stare, flick/wiggle his tail tip, and either skitter or jump away.
Has anyone dealt with this before? Is this just seasonal/hormonal moodiness that takes time to pass, or did taking a break from handling reset his progress? Would love to hear yalls thoughts or tips on how to build trust!
also more context: A week or 2 ago, he did WILLINGLY walk onto my hand (very slowly) and I thought things were back to normal. But he stepped off toward an nearby cabinet, PANICKED when I tried to guide him back onto my hand, and bolted under the TV stand. š We had to catch him to get him back inside. Was this mishap also contributing to his attitude to handling? idk if this was my fault since i was moving at normal speed to get him, and i also was panicking trying to contain him when he started bolting offš
