    please HELP - jerky movements?

    I got a new crested recently - he was shipped from Washington to Texas (6 months old, ~34g at time of shipment). He arrived exactly two weeks ago and seemed fine. He is quite flighty and nervous, so I haven't been handling him (figured I would give him a month or so to settle in). I have not...

    moldy eggs :(

    Back in January I introduced my male crested to my females (females weigh 59 grams and 50 grams, and are about 2 years old) for the first time. Nature took it's course and a month later I was excited to find 2 eggs from female #1, followed by another single egg laid a few days later by female...

    rare black crestie??

    I was in an exotic pet store today looking for a male crested (to eventually add to my 3 females) and came across a crestie I had never seen before. It was DARK DARK chocolate brown tiger, almost black. It was daytime and didn't seem to be fired up. Though it is too young to be sexed, the...

    what size enclosure?

    I currently have 3 female cresteds and plan on adding a male soon. I am going to upgrade to a bigger tank, and was wondering what minimum size the tank should be to comfortably house the 4 geckos? Thanks

    feeding frenzy

    Today when I got home I went to check on my cresties and saw one of my females (we'll call her #1) nip at the tail tip of another female (#2). It didnt look aggressive -- more like she maybe thought it was a cricket?? So I dropped in about 1 dozen or so crickets and within a few minutes #2...

    taming my crested

    I recently bought a female crested who's about a 1 1/2 years old at a reptile show and she is so flighty! Anytime I put my hand remotely close to her she leaps across the tank. I have tried gently putting my hand up to her chin to allow her to walk onto it, but have had no success. She just...

    moist hide/nest box

    What are the best types and ways to make a nest box? I have heard that plastic boxes (like rubbermaid) work well...would you suggest leaving the lid off or drilling a circular hole in the top or side?? Also, what is a good size? If you have any pics or suggestions I would appreciate it! Thanks

    best crestie substrate??

    I am currently using coconut fiber as substrate, but one of my cresties is a really awful hunter and is constantly getting mouthfulls of substrate when attempting to catch a cricket. So I put a square (about 6" x 6") of repticarpet in one "feeding corner" where I could drop the crickets and he...
