One of my crestie hatchlings has had a running problem with shedding one its toes, brought about by walking through its food dish. and before you ask, no the food dish was not to big- she is just 'special', and insists on walking through the food and water dishes on a regular basis. so now she's...

So I look into the incubator this morning and find an adorable little hatchling, slight bridling with maybe reverse pinstripes and dalmatian spots, but that's not my problem. The problem is that she's got a mouth full of the vermiculite the egg was in and doesn't seem to want to let go. (now i...

Well currently I have 9 hatchlings with more on the way, and I've got some people who are interested in them. So I wanted to know two things: What is the minimum size that I should let them go at. I know that I shouldn't give away tiny babies, but what is the best size (keeping in mind that all...

I wasn't sure exactly where I should put this particular question so I decided this would be the best place. I am currently trying to measure the mass of my hatchlings using a kitchen ingredients scale. There are several problems however. First of all the fellow members of my household are...

I have some crested hatchlings right now that I want to integrate with a female (who is a little over a year but on the small side now). I know the younger ones are to small to put in with her now but I have a smaller viv and plenty of time to let them grow. I'm planning on having 3 (older one...

All right, what I need here is specific information. In All the books I have it just says that crested gecko hatchlings are 'difficult to sex under four months of age' or something to that effect, but then it just goes on to describe the differences between males and females. However it doesn't...

i was just wondering how old cresties have to be before they start to show thier actual colors. I know they start out a mid-tone brown color (the same shade as my vermiculite in fact) and then gradually get lighter before settling down into thier real coloration but what is the time period for...

All right, so Lenora wasn't in her normal sleeping spot this morning and I couldn't see her anywhere so I knew she had to be in the nesting box (I have an opaque one because I believe it to be more comfortable for her) (and yes she does have stored sperm). I also know from experience that...

I recently separated my male and female cresteds (because as cute as the babies are I don't have the resources to breed them). However, I've know that some species store sperm for later use and I wondered if Crested geckos were one of them? :shock: If so, how long will stored sperm last and will...

New to the Forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I currently own seven cresties but that could change any day with four eggs cooking. I got a great pair at the northern virginia reptile expo from a good breeder, I wasn't trying to get a mixed pair but, hey, I did have a 50/50 chance. :lol...
