r/Crested_Geckos

I got a new crested gecko (his name is taco) and he is very afraid of everything. Everytime I open the cage he panics and runs around all crazy, tail wags at me, and opens his mouth defensively. It’s a miracle he hasn’t dropped his tail yet. I’ve had him for about a week and he’s only gotten worse.he won’t eat when I feed him (atleast not in front of me) and he refused some crickets I tried to give him. What should I do? He is in an 18x18x24, is a three year old super Dalmatian male. I have lots of fake and live plants as cover for him, several hides, and two different water dishes. I’m not sure what to do. I’m sure he just needs time but I’m still a little worried.

The begging eyes kill me 🥺.

(bug day for the household is tomorrow)

Please do not think for one second I am not happy and proud to call Sassy fast my baby girl and the best crested gecko ever.

However, I was not well informed and did not think she was a parthenogen. Let alone how rare a single girl lays fertilized eggs is, she definitely has grown a lot, specifically in the stomach and I feel horrible for just realizing it!

And don't worry, I did go ahead and buy an egg fertilize egg holder just in case.

Guys, I was prepared for one sassy fast gecko, one grown crested gecko at that! Please pray for me.

The last picture of her and her carriage was the first week of July. The rest were all taken this morning.

I’m moving to college soon and I want to move my crested gecko to a temporary enclosure when I’m moving and also to finally clear out the paper towel I had gotten her on.

She doesn’t let me handle her yet, we’re making progress but it won’t be done in time before I move out. I was thinking of taking out the clutter the night before and putting her temporary carrier in the enclosure with bugs to entice her inside since she won’t let me carry her to out her in their directly. Would this work?

My boy is around 3 now lives in a 36 height 24 by 24 does he look a healthy weight? I was gifted hime and he came from petco I can never get his tank warm enough in the winter and it max gets 70f in the winter but like 72-78 in the summer

Two different Geckos and am unsure if they are male or female. The first two pics and the same gecko I am thinking female. The third I was thinking male but unsure

What do you think?

i got my crested gecko today and i have absolutely no idea what to name him! usually im pretty quick and sure about what to name my animals but this time not as much

Hi guys!
I know, I know...
I have my first babies and I need some braincells from others. What do you think about these two little baby? What are their morphs? Both of them are hatched on wendesday, so they are tiny.
From the parents, they can carry lilly and axhantic (dad is a visual axanthic lilly and mother is 66% het axanthic). I can show the parents in the comments if it helps.
My guess is a lilly white baby and a brindle or phantom baby.
(I know they will change A LOT as they mature, I'm just trying to figure out how to recognise the signs of morphs)

Hello, I have been wanting to get a crested gecko recently but I’ve never had a reptile before so I’m teaching myself from scratch. Any and all recommendation and comments are appreciated. So as far as enclosure, I have been looking on FB marketplace for a starting place and have found this 36x18x24 Waterfall Paludarium / Vivarium project that I want to convert ( I will attach photos/ the description). I know that it is better to start out with a full grown gecko rather than a baby. I know that they balanced diet with power/water mixes and also bugs but idk which powders to go with or what types of crickets. I know they need a humidity spike, so can i spray the enclosure in the mornings and evenings with a spray bottle or whats the most effective method. I also read they do best in room temps so no heat lamp but what sort of lighting do I need? Also the substrate/ dirt Idk where to start. Please help I’m starting from scratch.

I recently got these guys off of fb, they are nearly two months old and I actually don’t know what morphs they are, I tried googling it but I am new to cresties and I am not confident in my ability to identify the correct morphs, from what I can tell they have very similar patterns just different shades?? the first pic is of Stubby (he’s named that because he has no tail lol) and the second one is of Mari, Mari was a bit more expensive than stubby but I figured it was because Mari still has a tail, (Mari was $60, and Stubby was $40) also yes I’m aware that stubby is a bit on the thinner side in the picture, I just got them and he is still settling into his new enclosure and had refused food for a few days, but he’s eating now and is fatting back up (they are also going through a bit of a growth spurt rn)

I love him 😍

any idea his morph?

This boy was a surrender, and I rescued him yesterday! His name was “Cowboy” and I hate that, so I’m looking for name suggestions! I have a bearded dragon named “Citrine” (after the natural stone) and an Anery boa named “Galena” (after the mineral) so maybe something sticking with that type of name category! I was thinking “Jasper” after Dalmatian jasper, but it’s not sitting right. Let em know what you guys think!! 🤔 Thanks! 😊

Ive had her for a few days and I suspect shes not been eating. Ive never seen her near the dish and the base of her tail is starting to look sunken in. The breeder only fed her crickets so Im gonna buy those for now. However I know that just crickets would be a terrible diet for her. How to I get her to recognize the liquid gecko diet
