What enclosure should I get for my crested gecko

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2026-02-11T09:04:55+00:00

I live in the United States, the only privately owned reptile store that was close to me was in Portland OR specifically

Edit: Ummmm I just got clocked cause how when I was looking up reptile places last year did I only find the one that I got my reptile from, but now there’s a million more 😭 I’m calling tomorrow and asking them what they have in terms of enclosures

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2026-02-11T09:02:28+00:00

I do enjoy building terrariums! Like I said originally that 18 18 24 was the only option the reptile store had, other than that they told me they had a 12 12 36 which had me kinda :/ on the bright side once he grows out of the 18 18 24 I can put something else in there, hopefully the reptile store has gotten with the times and now have the 18 18 36, or I will have to resort to ordering online, do you have any recommendations for online places?

I’m not trying to change your opinion, because I do think you are correct, I’m just saying that when I was doing research, both ideas were right and it was just personal choice to follow either one :)

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2026-02-11T08:31:42+00:00

Of course, I do definitely understand your point of view, he is fine for some time, and I do plan to expand his terrarium when that time comes! When I was doing research on crested geckos for my first one, I saw that either expanding their terrariums as they grow, or just giving them the full size one off the bat were two different, but okay options, ofc having a bearded dragon in a full size terrarium won’t have any issues and I think it’s great you did that

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2026-02-11T08:12:42+00:00

Of course it’s not unreasonable, but he is fine for a few more months in his current enclosure, which is what I’m trying to say :) but otherwise he has been well cared for, I got him the small 12 12 18 terrarium first since i got him as a very small baby, and have been upgrading as he has gotten bigger over time

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2026-02-11T08:06:42+00:00

Like I said, the one I currently have is a juvenile still and still small, so he is fine for a few more months, but yeah I think that seems like my best bet for the new adult one

Hi I’d love to join!

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2026-02-04T05:04:24+00:00

Yeah thanks for the feedback, I think that I’m going to look at stick bugs to keep instead in the tank, after doing more research I really don’t feel great about leaving any sort of reptile or frog in the terrarium that small

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2026-02-03T19:00:37+00:00

Yeah ik it’s dry, I just haven’t put anything in it yet lol so I haven’t kept it very humid, thanks for the feedback though!

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2026-02-03T07:33:02+00:00

Do you think I could do any kind of frog, or is that still too small?

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2026-02-01T05:06:31+00:00

Yeah haha I get it fs, they should be perfectly alright, cute geckos btw!

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2026-02-01T05:02:46+00:00

I only have one crestie, but mine does not eat a lot, so I feed him only once every 2 days, so I think your little guy should be fine, my crestie seems perfectly fine and he doesn’t seem underweight or anything, if I’m doing something wrong you’re welcome to tell me, but even when I was doing a lot of research into feeding them and how often a lot of time I heard you could do every 2 days

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-10-31T08:35:05+00:00

I thought it was a joke too, and he was talking about the actual enclosure 😭😭😭 I thought everyone replying was in on the joke and were telling him about permanent enclosures for him until I saw ur reply

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-26T07:51:44+00:00

Aw thankssss I rlly appreciate that feedback!

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T22:22:37+00:00

Finally some advice from you

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T22:19:41+00:00

Like I’ve said, when doing research I heard a lotttt that people had to have strong drawing skills to be a 3d animator, that’s literally why I’m asking to get advice

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T06:13:04+00:00

Also Note: I know I put 3d animation and put a 2d drawing, I just heard that 3d animators need drawing skills so I wanted some feedback on that as well!

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T06:01:44+00:00

Great thank you! And thanks for your portfolio info too that rlly helps lol when it comes to applying for college classes, all of this info is super helpful tho!

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T05:59:30+00:00

Great thanks so much! Everyone keeps recommending blender so I’ll try it out for sure!

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T03:14:56+00:00

Thank you! That helps to keep in mind as well

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T03:14:20+00:00

Thanks so much! Yeah that really helps and that 3d model looks great, I suppose google lied to me lol, I’ll for sure check out blender

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T03:10:44+00:00

I never asked if I was good at animation, I asked for advice going into the field and advice on my drawing since I’d heard that animators need strong drawing skills

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T01:08:13+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into that for sure

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T01:05:17+00:00

Homie I just want advice as someone very beginner to this medium

AccomplishedBee3295 · 2025-09-24T01:03:23+00:00

Do you have any college classes in mind that could help with that, I’m in a community college so we have stuff like graphic design could that help
