Hello.
So, my Crested gecko, Frankie, 10 Months Old, 14.5 Grams. Has been making clicking noises, now hold that thought, I was very scared when I first heard them, so I went to Reddit and got ridiculed, so I have a vet appointment tomorrow, I first heard the clicks 3 or 4 ago. Now his care is perfectly fine, humidity it between 50 - 60 during day, and then 80 to sometimes spikes to like 85 or 90 but is stays about 70 - 80 at night then mostly 55 - 60 during day. So the humidity is fine, he looks great he is a healthy boy and shows no other symptoms of being sick, now I was very scared at first because he was being sluggish and not sticking to anything for a few days but then he shed and started acting perfectly normal, now with all this being the only thing I could think of for these clicking noises was it being a RI from aspirating on water over 2 weeks ago, but why would symptoms show up that late? Also he sneezed all the water out, anyway.. And the only symptoms was clicking, so the first time he clicked I’m not exactly sure what happened but I took him out of his enclosure and started doing stuff and his chest was pressed up against my finger and I heard light clicks, now it’s highly possible he drank water right before I took him out, so why is this important? Well he did it twice again, being the next day and day after that, and each time he clicked it was directly after he drank water, again he has no other symptoms just these clicks after he drinks or possibly his chest being pressed up against my finger so, pressure on his chest, and he is still acting normal and has not gotten worse or whatever if anything better because now he’s happier after his shes. So finally should I be in shambles and in fear my guy has a RI or can anyone with crested geckos tell me if it is normal for this happen directly after drinking water then go on for another 20 seconds after? Or does if he a Ri and I have to be scared and anxious and spend 200 dollars at an exotic vet? Feel free to have ur guy drink some water and listen if there’s clicks for me because I’m genuinely just wondering is this just a crestie thing or is it abnormal?

If you were only feeding crickets, then lightly dusted prey is preferred over heavily dusted prey.
