One of my little juvie cresties is developing some nice little flame patterns on her sides. Now we just need her to be a female...*crosses fingers* TS

Okay. Well, I have cresties, and they are going to be living in a large (18" Wx6'Lx2'H) natural viv. The thing is I want them to breed in this tank also. The problem I have is that the whole bottom of the terrarium is covered in a coco fiber/fir bark mix about 3 inches deep. I need to have a way...

I have seen quite a bit about sexing these guys, but I was wondering if anyone knows of/can post a guide that shows how to do it. I have heard things, but I really don't have pictures to go with the words. I know the hemipenal bulge, but the whole "pore" business I don't understand. Can someone...

Well, I plan to eventually breed cresties, and sometimes we are out for a weekend or a week. What do you guys do to keep humidity up? I was wondering because even though we aren't going anywhere soon, we will at the end of the year. Thanks.

I am getting 4 new cresties tuesday from Bill of The Pet Zone (zonepets.com). They are all juvis and just too cute. They have really nice coloring, and one of them will have a central location in my breeding project regardless if its a male or female. Just wanted to vent my excitement! TS

Here is my new vivarium for my Crested geckos. I only have one for now, but soon I will have a few females to go along with him. The tank is 2' H x 6' L x 18" W. I used bamboo secured by silicone which is covered by a bit of caulk. Here are some pics: My Baby in his entirety. He is a pastel...

Well, being that apparently Cresties have no eyelids, which is the reason for them cleaning they're eyes with their tongues, do they sleep with their eyes open? How can you tell a sleeping crested from an awake one? I was just thinking about this today and got me thinking. Thanks. TS

I sometimes go one little family vacations and have people feed my animals. The thing is I don't want these people to have to mix my CGD. Can I mix it with water and put it in an airtight container in my fridge and store it that way, or does it go bad? Thanks. TS

I am making a crestie viv and wanted to know if cresties can have mushrooms in their vivs or will they be detrimental? I saw on anothe forum this type of really cool glow in the dark mushrooms I thought I would like in my viv. Thanks. TS

I will soon be having crested eggs I need to incubate. I would like to use a Hovabator thermal air incubator. I understand that there is a thermostat wafer that you must adjust to the right temperature in the incubator and it will keep it at that temperature? Do I use a digital thermometer with...

Ok. I am going to be breeding Crested Geckos. I plan on getting a few females to start, and then hatch out a few babies and get more females. I have a quite large tank (6'Lx18"Wx2'H) and I wanted to be able to fill it with some of the offspring I produced. But if I do this, obviously with only...

How exactly do you pick up a crested gecko? DO you come from above and grab it around the midsection, or do you let it crawl onto your hand, or do you scoop it up? I am kind of confused with this. Thanks. TS

My tank is quite large (6'Lx2'Hx18"W). I was planning on using my fogger in this tank for my cresties, as even though it would keep the tank at 100% for a short period, it wouldn't be constantly running so it would stay a little higher at times and fluctuate. I was planning on misting, but only...

Well I was thinking the other day...I want to breed crested geckos, but being the kind of person I am, I want to be able to monitor which baby is which. Well, I know that they change their overall color from hatchling to adult, but do they keep like certain "defining" markings, like say a...

I have a 6' L X 2' H x 18" W tank that is w/o heating 67*. I need to heat it to around 75* for the cresties I am going to put in there. How would you heat this? I was thinking Ceramic heat emitter, but this might not be good b/c it will be harder to distribute the heat and there will be hot...

It seems to me anywhere I go any sexed cresties are usually male and I have seen very few females. Is there a reason for this? Or am I just noticing a pattern that really doesn't have anything to do with anything? TS

I am making a natural viv for my cresties and for absorbtion and aeration I was going to use vermiculite around the base of the plants and covering this with cocofiber. That way excess water around the roots can be absorbed. Will these be harmful in any way to my geckos the way it is used? TS

In the future I want to start breeding crested geckos and the thing is, with their color fluctuations throughout their life cycle, they will be hard to keep track of or tell apart. I was wondering if there was a way of marking them with some kind of substance that would give them like a blue or...

What do you guys use as climbing perches for arboreal species in natural vivariums? I know bamboo is widely used, but anything else that has more of a "bark" texture I can get online? Thanks. TS

I have a relatively large tank(6' L x 2' H x 18" D) that I plan on housing crested geckos in. I know it is overkill, but I would like to make this a natural enclosure with a breeding group. If all goes well, I would like the eggs to be laid and hatch in the normal tank, as I will provide enough...
