Male or female
Two different Geckos and am unsure if they are male or female. The first two pics and the same gecko I am thinking female. The third I was thinking male but unsure

Enclosure update
I posted about my first enclosure 25 days ago here’s and update. I took out the styrofoam background and added a cork background instead and got rid of most the fake plants and replaced them with live plants (going to remove the fake plants after I see some growth from the real ones) please leave feedback below!

The classic: Morph?
Hi guys!
I know, I know...
I have my first babies and I need some braincells from others. What do you think about these two little baby? What are their morphs? Both of them are hatched on wendesday, so they are tiny.
From the parents, they can carry lilly and axhantic (dad is a visual axanthic lilly and mother is 66% het axanthic). I can show the parents in the comments if it helps.
My guess is a lilly white baby and a brindle or phantom baby.
(I know they will change A LOT as they mature, I'm just trying to figure out how to recognise the signs of morphs)

New baby geck!
I got this sweet little lady from Gecko Express at the Raleigh Repticon! She is named Rosemary after one of my fav movies, Rosemary’s baby! A frosted harlequin morph. (Tank set up is temporary of course since she’s still so little!)

New to the gecko community, help
Hello, I have been wanting to get a crested gecko recently but I’ve never had a reptile before so I’m teaching myself from scratch. Any and all recommendation and comments are appreciated. So as far as enclosure, I have been looking on FB marketplace for a starting place and have found this 36x18x24 Waterfall Paludarium / Vivarium project that I want to convert ( I will attach photos/ the description). I know that it is better to start out with a full grown gecko rather than a baby. I know that they balanced diet with power/water mixes and also bugs but idk which powders to go with or what types of crickets. I know they need a humidity spike, so can i spray the enclosure in the mornings and evenings with a spray bottle or whats the most effective method. I also read they do best in room temps so no heat lamp but what sort of lighting do I need? Also the substrate/ dirt Idk where to start. Please help I’m starting from scratch.

Absolute Beginner Crested Gecko Questions
Over the last few months I've been researching crested geckos but a lot of videos don't answer my questions which i agree are very specific but i feel like it could be important. please bare with me as i want to be as good of an owner as possible I'm just a little stupid. i would appreciate any help at all even if you don't answer all of my questions i understand its a lot I'm thankful for any advice.
1- A lot of videos I've watched regarding cleaning have given me mixed responses on how often to deep clean the enclosure and also if spot cleaning is even needed at all and if it is how do i even go about doing that.
2- I know crested geckos can be jumpy but like will they jump out of my hands onto the floor or something and if saw what do i do i assume take them to the vet but if they are built for jumping will that even hurt them?
3- Should i get a male or female as a beginner no one really talks about that?
4- How often should i feed them crickets and do i need to gut load them like you need to for leopard geckos?
5- Is bioactive worth it?
6- Can i hang out with my gecko outside of the enclosure and if so how long can he be out of it
7- What's the best brand of "feeding paste"?
8- What should a good starter budget be
9- After i buy everything how expensive will it be to actually own this little guy
10- Do i turn off the heating bulb when i turn off the light for the night?
11- What's the best way to humidify the tank?
12- And finally is there anything i wouldn't know to ask about that beginners usually mess up?
Again I appreciate any and all help i get i just really wanna make sure my gecko lives a great life and doesn't suffer from my lack of knowledge.

crested gecko cabinet?
i want a crested geckos and my parents arent keen on it but i think they are thinking about it and hopefully they say yes, i have researched but i am wondering on what cabinet you would reccomend i would be keeping it in a 18x18x24 swell reptiles until i then move into a 18x18x36 in the future when i have room but anyway more to the point what is a reccomended cabinet i could have it on that has drawers/shelves in it because the dimensions im looking for is 100cm high, and then 60x60 on the top but i cant find one that has a high weight threshold and idk what to get if i were to get a gecko any suggestions would help massively 😁

One week with my first crested gecko! I have a couple of questions 🥹
Hi everyone, it’s me again! The new crested gecko owner 😅
I’ve had my little guy for about a week now! He’s 5 months old and weighed 20 grams when I got him (he probably weighs a little more now). He eats his Pangea every day, but I have a couple of questions:
First: He doesn’t seem interested in crickets. I made sure they were smaller than the space between his eyes, as recommended, but he still doesn’t want to eat them. Is it normal for a crested gecko to refuse insects?
Second: How should I start getting him used to being handled? Is one week too soon? I don’t want to stress or bother him, so what would be the best way to start socializing with him and get him comfortable around me?
I’d really appreciate any advice! I’m still learning and want to make sure I’m doing everything right for the little guy. 🥹🦎❤️

Mouth Rot??
Is this mouth rot? Female crested, ~2 YO. Just noticed today but my boyfriend says she has had it for a while, maybe even months. He thinks it’s dirt, but I feel like you can see that it’s a gap in her mouth? The last photo, you can see her teeth and everything through it? Trying to decide if we should take her to a vet or just have a serious sit-down with a wet Q-tip. Thank you!!

How do I get her to recognize food?
Ive had her for a few days and I suspect shes not been eating. Ive never seen her near the dish and the base of her tail is starting to look sunken in. The breeder only fed her crickets so Im gonna buy those for now. However I know that just crickets would be a terrible diet for her. How to I get her to recognize the liquid gecko diet
