I recently picked up a new brindle dalmatian female, and while she was acclimating in her isolation tank, she stayed in a paper towel tube for about 10 days. I assumed she came out at night to lick up water but I never saw her... I finally ended up taking her out of the tube and weighed her...

She came with a male from Petco, where they were fed Repashy, and I think undusted crickets? No tail or spine kinks or swollen legs, I do have a rescue MBD crestie, and she does not have any of the signs that he did. Her enclosure is a vertical wood and glass tank with a screen front, I'll...

I've added some more photos because the first one makes it look more severe than it is...

I was checking my female gecko out today and noticed some weird spots on her jaw that I hadn't noticed before... They aren't soft or squishy, so I don't think it's MBD...

I just noticed these injuries on my gravid female crestie's tail... Could this have happened while mating?

I just picked up this lovely crestie over the weekend, and had a very strong thought that "she" was in fact a "she", as the other cresties in the tank had very prominent bulges and "she" did not. Now I am noticing a slight bulge... and I'm concerned because I only bought this gecko to go with my...

So, I have a pair of cresteds that are both over a year old, and of breeding size. They have mated a couple of times at least, and my female has produced one dud egg so far (last month). I am planning on keeping the female in her original cage, because I do not want to stress her out while she...

I have a male crestie who's about 5-6 months old (full hemipenal bulge), and I want to add a female to the mix. However, he does have FTS and is a bit small because he wasn't fed properly before I got him, but he seems to be putting on a little weight as time goes by. He is extremely fast, and...

Thank you! Here is a pic of Jaspar´s dorsal!

Okay, thanks! She now has a medium-size Tupperware container with] 1.5-2 inches of eco earth for laying. Here are some close-ups of the eggs... . We're planning on using organic perlite as our incubation material.

My female crestie laid an egg this morning, and I didn't even know she was pregnant! I don't have an incubator set up yet... What can I do in the meantime? Thanks!

I'm looking for some help on identifying the morphs of my cresties! (As a note: I am completely aware of Sushi's FTS and MBD! He is currently undergoing treatment!) Thanks! Gecko #1: Sushi (Male presumed dark harlequin) Gecko #2: Monty (Female presumed dalmatian) Gecko #3: Jaspar...

So I should get calcium with D3 for him? Will that work without any UVB lighting? If I keep him on very small dosages of D3 (maybe 1/8th of a teaspoon every other day or so?) and Repashy CGD, will he be able to recover to a point of being able to live a comfortable life? ( I know that any bone...

Good morning, I did post an inquiry about this in the Crested Gecko forum (under fts question) , but I figured this was probably a better place for answers. Anyway, I picked up a young crestie from Petco yesterday (yeah, I know) because of his stunning coloration. When I got him into the...

Just saw this. He also seems to have a hollow at the base of his tail that my other geckos don't have... Is that a sign of a calcium deficiency or MBD?

Hey everybody, I just picked up a new little crestie from Petco today. He's young, I don't know his exact age, but he's defimitely male. Anyway, I knew he had a slight kink in his tail when I got him, but as he's getting used to his new cage, I'm noticing some oddities. He's got a few good...

Hello! Please bear with me, as I'm new to cresties and I'm kind of an overprotective gecko mom... I just noticed that my female crestie is shedding now, and it looks like my male already did. They are kept in the same enclosure. I was looking at my male's belly, and I noticed two...

Hello! I just got my pair of cresties last Saturday, and they aren't eating regularly on their own from what I can tell. (I haven't seen any lick marks in their dish). However, they will lap up the CGD (Repashy, same as they were being fed when I got them), if I dab some on my finger or hold...

I'm personally planning on using one of those small critter-keeper plastic cages for my hatchlings until they've got some weight on them and are a couple weeks old, then they'll be moved into a 10 gallon. My thought is that if one in particular isn't eating as much, it'll be easier to notice in...

Hello! I recently purchased two cresties (male & female) from Petco. (I know, not the best, but their setups were great, the manager was extremely knowledgeable, and everything seemed fine to me). Anyway, I have a HUGE custom cage (about 24 x 70), completely set up with plants, branches...
