I am so bummed. My crestie Rex is 4 years old. Just today he dropped his tail. It was my fault. I went in the tank to wipe some of the pee. I always look to see where he is first before opening the doors and this time I just went in and he was behind a leaf and just got spooked. It was awful to...

I discovered a while ago that my crestie loves peach. I can not always keep fresh peaches around, but when I do I have squeezed some of the juice in his CGD at times. Is this ok to do regularly, or is it better to just by the peach flavor GCD, which I only just came across! I wasnt sure if a...

Many people use cork bark flats as background. Has anyone ever used cork bark flats as substrate?? I've had humidity issues (too much), and as I posted a while ago about mold, my crestie's tank stays too humid, it doesn't cycle down enough. Ive done less coco fiber, more coco fiber, hydro balls...

This winter was mild and wet. I have a reptifogger and was only using it at night and hand misting a tad in the morning. I noticed my cresties coco fiber has been staying wet. It's only 1/4 inch thick. I found some mold spots on it this morning. Im thinking the spring summer will be moist too...

My crestie Rex is a little over a year old and 25g. About two weeks ago I noticed one of the suction cups holding a fake porthos vine popped off in my crestie tank. So as I was adjusting it my crestie was in the vine and got startled. Jumped on me and then the floor, so I let him calm down then...

Wondering if how much noise a crestie can take. My husband has a recording studio in our house. Normally music is done in a way where it's not projecting throughout the house. But on Saturday there will be 5 people right below the geckos room. They will all be playing at the same time for a...

So just came back from a hike and found a great piece of dead bamboo that would fit perfect in my cresties enclosure. It is 30 inches long and would fit in diagonally. Is it safe to use? What is the best way to sterilize it from mites? Do I coat it with anything? I don't want it to be slick.

I look on youtube sometimes just to see what people do with there crestie setups. it has just been making me madder. You get these people (alot of kids to, whose parents must not care) who post care videos and they are completely bad and wrong. Im glad other people reply and tell them their...

How thick or thin do you keep your cgd? For those with geckos over 6 months old. My crestie doesnt eat much, ( i think it's my cold house, temps in his tank have been 64-70 F) and I can't tell if he would prefer it thicker or thinner. He does eat, I see poop about 3 times a week. If it's to...

My crestie Rex is in a 18x18x24 inch exo terra. I think I have it set up pretty well. He's been in it since December. Is there any need to ever rearrange the branches, plants and vines? Do cresties ever need a change. I'm concerned about boredom. But don't want to make him feel scared...

So I have decided 95% that my crestie is a boy. He is 5 months old and has recently had a growth spurt (although I think he's still small), the bulge, and the roundness of it looks obvious to me. He now seems to have 3 dalmations spots (mom is a yellow dalmation and dad is a brown flame). He...

I was at petsmart today getting cat and gerbil stuff. This one doesn't usually have cresties. There was a very young (younger than Ive seen at other stores) crestie. The sticker under him with basic care info said, maintain 80-85F with a basking spot of 90-100F. For a crestie not an anole!! I...

Anyone ever put legos in their geckos enclosure? My son and I were thinking of building a a stairway or hut of somesort. Of course there would be leaves and vines, etc. I don't think the blocks are toxic and they would be easy to clean. Good idea or not?

Thanks for your help with my turned upright tank. But OMG, I just found an exo terra 18x18x24 on craigslist!!! Its only 45 minutes from me and has no scratches! $40!!!! Can you believe it! I can't wait to pick it up this weekend!!!!! $40!!!!!! Just had to say something!!!

So my 3 and a half month old has been in a 10 gallon. I am planning on getting a zoo med 18x18x24 inches eventually. But I turned my 10 gallon tank on its end, so its tall. My gecko likes it, I can tell, but it's a bit of a pain to deal with. I usually use a uvb light a few hours a day. But...

Bummer. Repticon show in Maryland was soooo lame. Disappointed. Supposedly there is a bigger show in Chicago, so all the vendors went there.

I am planning to get some Repashy CGD Mango soon. But I am understanding some people give fresh fruit. My gecko is only 9 weeks. What is the best way to give fresh fruit, as a treat. Can cresties eat tiny chunks (choke?), big chunks that they suck off of? Do I mash it and mix with water or...

I found this weight chart for cresties. I wonder if it is fairly accurate. My crestie is 9 weeks old and is 7 g. This chart says he should be 3 or 4 g. I thought my crestie looked on the thin side so that's why I was checking. Hopefully I pasted this correctly. Scroll down to see it. Let me...

So my gecko is 8 weeks old now. Is he a Juvie or still a baby? I haven't weighed him yet. Anyway he is in a 10gallon tank (I take him out if I give crickets). The weather is chilly at night already, so I use his moon glo blue bulb. As it becomes steadily colder I will need to keep him...

Has anyone ever been to a Repticon Expo Show. There is one near me in MD in October. I know they will be selling all types of reptiles. But am wondering if they usually sell alot of good products like exo terra, food, cage accessories, etc. I of course dont mind looking at all the cute...
