Hi everyone, I've owned crested geckos for over 10 years now, and my youngest is 8.5 years old now - his name is Dusty. I hatched him from an egg and have cared for him all his life. Over the past week, I would always find him sleeping on his ledge, and I figured that was his new sleeping...

I got a call on Friday from a lady who bought a juvenile crestie from me last year. The baby was about 6 months old and 10g when I sold it. I instructed the woman on proper care and feeding, but despite my advice, she 'pampered' her gecko by feeding it fruit baby food (she claims she added...

I just wanted to share an interesting experience I had as a newbie to breeding. Last May/June, I was incubating a clutch of eggs and I forgot to monitor the temperature as I had them inside of another heated tank for warmth. I noticed after about a month that the temperature was near 80...

I'm just sick over what happened last night... one of my crestie eggs hatched about 2 weeks earlier than I was expecting it to, and when I checked in the egg container, I saw a new hatchling sitting there but his mouth was full of vermiculite! I took him out and tried to clean him off with some...

My first set of hatchlings are almost a month old now, and I will be going on vacation in about 3 weeks. A friend of mine is very interested in getting a crested gecko, and she has agreed to take both hatchlings just before I leave so I don't need to find someone to take care of them while I'm...

I just wanted to get a general consensus from everyone who has breeding pairs of geckos. Do you usually separate the males and females over the winter months, or do you keep them together and just cool the cages down to discourage egg laying? I have a breeding pair who were just introduced in...

My female crestie mated for the first time a little over a month ago, so she should be laying eggs any day now. Her weight before mating was 53g. She has been gaining weight over the last few weeks - all the way up to 58g, then hovering between 57-58 grams. Last night, I weighed her and she...

So, last night I decided to introduce my 1 year old male crestie to my 3 year old female. Up until now, the male has been terrified of the female and would freak out anytime I put them near each other, but the last few times I've let them sniff each other through a screen, the male has seemed...

Hi All... i finally managed to post some pics of my 9 month old male crestie. I'm not sure what kind of morph he is (I'm new to this and haven't figured out all the different types of morphs). I would appreciate anyone's guesses... Thanks!

So... I wanted to spoil my geckos and decided to buy some of the 2 part Repashy MRP food. I found a great deal online and it was only a few extra dollars to get the 8 oz. instead of 4 oz. packages, however - I could only choose one flavor of nectar. This was my first time ever trying this...

I have a full grown female crestie... she is probably about 2 years old and weighs close to 50 grams. (Fatty! :D) I also have a 7 month old juvenile who is showing signs of a bulge under his tail but I can't say for certain that it's a male yet. He currently weighs 14.2 grams and has been...

Hi there... I have 2 cresties, one adult female and one baby/juvenile unsexed (almost 6 months old). The adult crestie has never shown much interest in crickets. She'll eat one or two if they hang around right in front of her and practically 'dance', but she seems to prefer the CGD mixed with...

So, I've done some remodelling in Izzy's tank since my last post (pic attached.) Izzy seems happy, but I wanted to get her a friend since I do want to have more than one gecko. There is a local reptile store here and they had 3 month old baby cresties. I picked one out that the owner said he...

Okay, so I set up my first vivarium using some of the advice I got on the forum. I used gravel for a drainage layer, covered with mesh and then I put a layer of cypress mulch, topped with a mixture of organic potting soil and vermiculite (sp?). I planted some philodendron, some dracaena, an...

hi everyone... I'm new here and this is my first post. I have been doing some research lately about crested geckos, and I saw a great deal on craigslist for a female crestie with cage and all accessories, so I grabbed it. Izzy is a really tame gecko and lets me hold her and even licks baby...
