    Found at least one very large beetle in my gecko's tank

    Hello everyone, I noticed tonight that I haven't seen my gold dust day gecko out and about like I normally do for the past 2 days. Like I haven't seen him at all. Now, keep in mind he's in a 12x12x18, but it's completely bioactive and has grown in like a jungle, so finding him when he doesn't...

    My gecko bites me

    Hello, I've had my Crested Gecko for about a week and a half now, and in order to get him tame I've been trying to handle him at least once a day. However, the past 3 days or so, occasionally when I go to get him he squeaks, or sometimes squeaks and bites me. The bites don't hurt at all (just a...

    Is an 18x18x24 too big for a baby/juvenile?

    Hello everyone, Today for my birthday I recieved a crested gecko. He's (or she's) absolutely awesome! I got him from Josh's frogs, and they said he was hatched on 5/11/19 and weighed 3.3 (maybe it was 3.6) grams on 7/30/19. I just unboxed him like 10 minutes ago and put him in his tank, but that...

    What else should I know before getting my Crested Gecko?

    Hello everyone, I've been able to obtain an 18x18x24 enclosure and I've decided to get a crestie to stock it. I think I already have a great understanding of their care as I have a day gecko who's care is very similar minus some differences in heating/lighting and humidity, and I've already...

    Can I introduce a female Gold Dust Day Gecko to an enclosure with an established male

    Hello everyone, I've had my male gecko for almost a year now and he seems to have reached peak size. I am considering breeding gold dust day geckos so I was wondering if I could purchase a female and introduce her to the tank with the male already having been in it for a year? If this won't...

    Springtails

    Hey everyone, I've recently redone my Gold Dust Day Gecko's terrarium and now it's a bioactive vivarium. Well, kind of. I've got the live plants in and I ordered a culture of springtails from Josh's Frgos but they all arrived dead. I called Josh's Frogs and asked for a new culture which arrived...

    Need a better heat bulb for Gold Dust Day Gecko!

    Hello everyone, I currently have two different bulbs in use inside my exo terra 12x12x18. I am using a 13 watt exo terra 5.0 uvb bulb that I plan on replacing with a reptisun 5.0 13 watt, and I have a zoo med daylight blue 40 watt for heat. That heat bulb keeps the basking spot in the high 90's...

    Updated Gold Dust Day Gecko Terrarium!

    Hello everyone, After nearly 2 months of growing cuttings, I was finally able to plant some pothos into my Gold Dust Day Gecko's enclosure. I planted them directly into the eco earth, even though it has low nutrients because I heard pothos doesn't need much. I think it looks pretty decent for my...

    Is it possible to tame a gold dust day gecko?

    Hey again everyone, I was wondering if it was possible to tame my gecko to the point where he could sit on my hand calmly or at least not run away when I open his enclosure to mist it? Now, I am aware of the warnings that day gecko skin is very fragile and that they're skittish, but I was...

    New Gold Dust Day Gecko Questions.

    I'm trying to get my question answered on this forum because I seems much more active than the others I have been on. So, I ordered my gold dust day gecko last Wednesday and received it from Snakes at Sunset Thursday morning. I set up his cage according to all the care guides I've read over the...
