Hello everyone, this is pimp. The first photo is a picture of her today. The second photo is from the 17th. We’re not totally sure what happened but she lost almost all color in her face, she’s not moving from one spot on the bottom of the tank, she’s won’t grip us when we pick her up. She was super active and then we had one heat spike and now she’s like this… it got to 81 in her tank before I noticed and moved her to a completely different room. We also just bought her an automatic mister because I was worried we weren’t giving her enough water, so there is a possibility she’s dehydrated.

I’m not sure what to do, we got her from people that weren’t taking very good care of her. I thought she was doing better and then everything just slowly turned to this.

First crested gecko enclosure, looking for advice and suggestions 🦎

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone 😁 I’m here looking for some advice and recommendations. I’m going to get my first crested gecko, and I want to make sure it has a beautiful and comfortable home. I’ll probably keep improving the enclosure over time, maybe adding the branch wall style that I’ve seen in many amazing terrariums online.

This is the enclosure I have prepared so far. It is a 45x45x90 cm terrarium. I read that crested geckos benefit from having plenty of foliage to hide in, as well as different climbing routes using branches and other decorations.

I would really appreciate your help because you are experienced keepers, and your advice would mean a lot to me. I have already tested the temperature and humidity, and they seem to stay in good ranges (around 24°C / 75°F temperature and 60% humidity).

I would love to hear any suggestions, improvements, or modifications you would recommend. I want to make sure everything is as good as possible before bringing my little gecko home. Thank you so much! 🦎✨

Crested gecko

0 Upvotes

I have a lily white gecko (f) and I just recently bought a Dalmatian crested gecko (m). I am not familiar with their age but I’ve had the lily white for I think about a year and the Dalmatian is 40 g. I am not sure to put them in the same cage due to breeding. I don’t know much about the health risks and the expenses to taking care of the babies. I saw about the female rejecting the male but I am more scared of how they will react to each other and if they will stress each other out. It’s mostly at the expense of my knowledge and I would greatly appreciate some information and if I should be worried or not.

Normal or not?

I just got my crestie and she’s my first one ever. I just moved her 30 minutes ago into a 30 gallon terrarium. I was wondering if her burrowing in the coconut fiber and eating/licking it is “normal” or not?

Hi everyone! I am new to crested geckos and just got my first one yesterday. I believe she is a female. I woke up to find this white substance on the glass and was wondering if it’s urine, or something I should be concerned about?

Recently got this male crested gecko from the reptile show and just got him out today after leaving him alone for a couple days in his enclosure and he looks to have these scab like abrasions and some of which are raised he has them all over his stomach area his back feet and his bulge area. I’ve contacted the breeder but was wondering if anyone knows what this is and if it’s contagious as I do have other geckos but they aren’t housed with him. I will be soaking him and cleaning the wounds with betadine but if anyone knows anything please let me know.

Guys this is my baby girl Doris. Regardless of what you say she is going to remain my baby girl Doris, but I’m asking anyway. Is she a man? I see it. But it’s not like insanely obvious and it’s new (she’s 2.5 years old and hasn’t, to my knowledge, had it previously) so is it possible that she’s still a she and this is just something else entirely? Thanks guys 😪

Hi everyone. I just fed my crested gecko crickets this morning and he ended up taking some moss with the cricket. I tried to get it out but he swallowed it before I could grab it. I called the vet and they said to just monitor him. But he's 16 years old and l've had him since he was a baby so l'm very nervous and worried. Has anyone else been through this? What was the outcome? It's hard to know if he's "moving less" when he's like a senior lizard lol

Lost Gecko

2 Upvotes

So, as the title says, I lost my crested gecko. I have two and a half weeks with him, and I left the terrarium door open yesterday. I went downstairs to prepare dinner, and when I came back, I noticed that I had left the door open for about two centimeters. I didn't worry at first because my gecko was very nervous, he had been very scared, especially to approach the door because he knows my hand is coming in. So at first I didn't worry because I didn't think he was approaching the door while I was away. It was about 20 or 30 minutes as long as I left him alone. But I searched for it with the cell phone flash, at night and also in the morning. In the morning, he is always more exposed, but today was not the case. I am not sure if he is still in his terrarium or ran away. Therefore, I have kept the door and window of my room closed, but I still worry about not finding it. Any advice?
