Hey guys, Firstly, I'm not sure that this is a completely appropriate place to post this, but it'll get moved if it's not, so no discussion on that needed. I am looking for sort of a gecko babysitter between the months of September and December (or January after the holidays) while I am away...

a*teens hollaa okay sorry i have my gecko in a tank that is 18 in high, with a screen lid on top. as of recently (the past 4 days?), my gecko has decided that it would be a great idea to climb around on the underside of the screen lid. i'd say that he was just exploring, but i've had him for...

Okay so last weekend I rearranged my terrarium to better fit my crested gecko, Irwin. My biology teacher would cringe at me anthropomorphizing, but I think he thinks his new terrarium is way more fun! He used to spend all day behind his abalone shell in the corner, now it's a different location...

This might sound ridiculous, but if CGD is completely balanced in terms of nutrition, could you consider dusting your crickets with it rather than calcium and/or multivitamin dust? I don't know how well balanced CGD is in terms of calcium, but you'd think it be enough...

Hey guys. I was planning on cleaning my 22 gallon tank for my crested gecko next weekend, and I figured I'd do a bit of remodeling while I'm at it (he's almost completely unhandeable so I want to do this all in one session to avoid stressing him- and me- out). I'm already planning on making a...

Okay so I just saw a thread about shedding, and I just realized that my gecko has yet to shed. I've had him for about 8 weeks now. When I cleaned his tank I noticed one piece of bark that a teensy tiny bit of shed had rubbed off on, but that's it. Should I be worried?

Hey guys. I'm thinking of making some sort of jungle gym for my crested gecko to give him more things climb on. I've seen that a lot of people just glue climbing things to the inside of the tank, and that makes me nervous, I'd like to have some non-permanent options in case things change around...

It has come to my attention that my gecko, who is rather new (about a month), is slightly too thin. I'm not sure when geckos go from being leggy teenagers to plump adults, but my crested gecko just seems a bit skinny. I put out CGD every other night (it takes him about two nights to finish it)...

Dear Abby, I've had my gecko for maybe a month now. According to the reptile store, he was/is just below the age to be considered an "adult" (he probably won't get any longer, but might fill out more). I'm not sure how much he was handled there, but I haven't held him more than 3 times since I...

Okay so this is just a story I wanted to share... I was talking to my good friend who happens to work at the SF Zoo, specifically in the children's zoo with the reptiles, small mammals, and birds. He said that they normally feed their geckos 4 or 5 crickets twice a week and that I should dump...

I bought crickets today for the first time (new crested gecko) and I'm gut loading them now. I was wondering, where should I feed my crested gecko? I'm hesitant to let crickets loose in the tank because I don't think he'll find them but he backed away when I tried to give him a cricket with...

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me out with this... So on Monday (today is Friday) I brought home my first adult male crested gecko. As instructed, I put out crested gecko diet on Tuesday night. Because I didn't see him eat anything that night I put out fresh food on Wednesday...
