Hi! So recently I was able to get my first crested gecko, Riley (unsexed juvi), and I haven't had him very long, but he has already gone through 1 shed and I found something odd after he did. Progressively after, these back spots would appear on his arms and torso, and one bigger-than-usual near his tail base. They occasionally begin to pop up or go away, none have moved as far as I observed, but it doesn't seem like hes a spotted morph and I do not know if these are parasites :sad: , but any help would be appriciated and il see if i can link pictures

This be Riley (notice the spots on his/her front leg) :IMG_0371.jpgIMG_0370.jpgIMG_0369.jpgIMG_0367.jpg also forgot to mention, he/she is eating repashy (licks in bowl every night) with occasional crickets every week or 2, kept at warmer temps but not over 80, probably mid 70s, and he/she had humidity problems before, because I had no way to raise it when I was in classes, but I now have an auto sprayer that has not failed me so far. The spots are more prominent at times (of course today had to be one of the days where they're not) but I circled them if you had difficulty finding them

Sounds like "oil spots". My patternless red girl has them.

They're sort of like dilute dal spots.

:yahoo:Oh my god thanks, I have been going nuts over them because when I got Riley from the store, it's not the most reliable but when I looked at the tank, there were babies who were weeks or days old and he/she stood out because he/she was much much older. Upon inspection I found that Riley was not cared like the others, a noticeable difference in weight, so I was always wondering what if the pet store let him/her get parasites. You just saved me from a lot of worrying

Good looking crested gecko. I would have never noticed those spots. Still can't really see them in the photo. LOL!
