Hi everyone. So I was meant to get a baby crested gecko but there was a miscommunication with the seller and she accidentally sold the gecko I was meant to get to someone else. So I’ve decided to think of getting something else.
I’ve got a 30x30x60cm tank which is suited towards a reptile that enjoys climbing and hiding as there’s lots of hides, vines and artificial plants.
My ideal pet would be something decent for handling and that definitely does not smell. And maybe something a little less long lived though this isn’t a deal breaker
Any suggestions?

Hi everyone, my corn snake is currently blue and dull (about to shed) but he won’t go in his humid hide at all. Any tips? How long do you have to leave them while they’re shedding? Should I still feed him?

I’ve got a pretty young corn snake called Linguine. Usually he stays in his cave, coming out for food or to go to his coconut hide. However, I’ve started taking him out to let him slither around my bed. When exploring he’s calm and relaxed, tongue flickering and just slithering up and down my bed (occasionally trying to go up my pant legs or sleeves if he’s feeling mischievous!). But now, once he’s explored and been put back into his tank, he acts as though he wants out going to the corners or trying to find any way out. Why is this? Is it because he’s had a taste of freedom?

Hi everyone, I’ve been asking my mum to let me get a crested gecko for weeks now and she’s got some reservations.

First, do they smell? Does the tank smell? Would it make my room smell? She says she’s seen that they can significantly smell but just wanted to double check this.

Second, would the humidity in the tank affect the humidity in my room? Would a humid tank make my room more humid? Does it work like that?

Three, are the tanks massive eyesores?

And lastly, are these good pets for someone who is 19 (i’m 20 this year) with an already good background knowledge on them (I have been doing research for weeks and weeks and have gathered all the information needed to keep them)

Thanks for anyone’s help! It would be much appreciated, especially in trying to sway the opinion of an angry mum lol!

Hi everyone. So I’m trying to convince my mum to let me get a crested gecko (I’m 19). And she has a few reservations. Firstly; mould. Is there ways to prevent mould? My mums worried about if there is mould it would affect my health etc. Another is smell. Are the tanks super stinky? How do you prevent strong oder? What do they usually smell like?

Since a child i’ve always been obsessed with reptiles. I would always ask my mum to let me get one and she’d always say no. I’m 19 now and have two blue death feigning beetles. I asked my mum if she’d be comfortable with me getting a crested gecko, it was a “maybe” at first and quickly turned into a “no”. Any tips on convincing her 😅 I’ve tried to sweeten her up with some gifts but she doesn’t see to be budging (wel maybe a little but not much!)

Hi everyone! Looking for some advice. I’m planning on getting a crested gecko in August (if my savings go right lol!). What bugs do you guys feed your geckos and how often? Any suggestions that are quiet and slow breeders 🫣 Thanks!

Hey everyone, just looking for some advice! Where does everyone buy their branches from? I’d like one that’s big from bottom to top for climbing. Ones that aren’t going to mould.
