I didn't wanna be the first either, but here goes now...
Okay, I really am new to this forum... to geckos as pets... and to Cresteds
I got my first little hatchling near the end of June, and I now have FOUR Cresteds.... I think it is safe to say that the Gecko Bug is a fierce little bug, no? I also have 8 'hopefuls'.... that would be EGGOS! It's a long story, but you can read about it briefly in the 'breeding and incubation' section. And please feel free to offer any "positive and/or helpful" suggestions because I am, afterall, a NoOb!!
As for my little Crested friends, the two hatchlings live in KK's with paper towel bottoms, silk plants and branches. I feed them fresh mashed tropical fruit with Herptivite and Tri Cal supps, and small crickets dusted with ICB or the Herptivite and Tri Cal mixed. My two juvie boys live in 10g's with the same deco and they get the same foods, just more of it I spray the enclosures morning and evening, provide small shallow dishes of water, and change food out for fresh, daily. I am only handling them every other day or so for a few minutes at a time, and they are all pretty tame.
There are pics of the little guys and the older boys elsewhere in the Crested section, but here's a pic of a 'grouchy gecko'... this is Flip, my 8 month old boy... he just woke up
