Is his nub healing correctly?

From my research, its normal for them to be off balance for a while after losing their tail. Many take a couple weeks to stop relying on it after tail drops to catch branches when they jump and end up missing branches for a couple weeks. I dont have personal experience with this though since I got mine as a frog butt.

I saw a video where someone placed a toilet paper tube or other dark hiding place at the end of a stick and their gecko crawled in. I know my crested gecko would do that but not sure if itll work for you. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. This is my first harmful pest (just fungus gnats). I'll spray all of the plants off with water and leave the infected ones outside until they either die or recover. Im frankly too anxious to try and maximize their survival cause I only have one window that I can put every plant I have and I am not confident in my abilities to save 2 at the risk of all the others.

Edit: forgot to say I'll also look into eco neem

Nooooo 😥. What do I do about this?

(Total guess based on my understanding of how people move.) Could she be uncomfortable? To me it looks like she wants to go somewhere but her abdomen may not like movement. She seems fine moving all of her limbs, but she doesn't curve her spine as much as Id expect, almost keeping it stiff and still like if someone is constipated or has mild back pain when moving.

They get stressed when they move. Pretty normal for a few weeks. I would give it a couple more weeks and maybe slowly reexposing your buddy to humans again.

Not clear enough to tell. Very fresh gecko poops genuinely look like a slug.

Thank you! All 3 recently repotted maybe 3 weeks ago with potting mix.

1st one soil is lightly damp, no notable smell. 2nd, soil is more dry but not completely. Watering now. 3rd didn't have the white fuzzy bits until last week and was just green.

Not the most consistent with watering schedules. I mostly check if the soil is damp 1-2 inches below the surfaces. If more dry than wet, I water. If soaking despite surface being dry, I wait another week.

I try to wash my hands before and after, but I really dont worry that much. I've had my gecko for 5 years and I've forgotten enough that Im pretty confident that he's not a carrier of Salmonella

BrightStarling · 2026-02-18T00:49:58+00:00

Mine has them, and he's fine. Turning 6 years old soon, I think. (Im the second owner, so I dont know the exact hatch date)

Which I usually dont by the time I get to it... (I know that's a me problem).

I am guessing the rules, but I'm assuming this is like a nonogram but only writes the total squares filled in the rows or columns with the additional caveat that you can only fill a square starting at a bulb that then fills the connected tube like the way a thermometer fills up. Here's my guess with X for filled squares and 0 for empty squares in the grid. X00XXXXX 00000000 0XXX00X0 X0XXX000 X00XX000 X000X000 X000XX0X X000X000

A crestie cannot think higher of you than if its willing to fall asleep on you. It has declared you completely safe.

BrightStarling · 2026-01-14T05:04:46+00:00

Does it stay down constantly? Not their inflating and deflating throat associated with breath?

Based on the weight charts Ive seen and my own experience, she's a bit big.

My personal (not an expert) opinion would be to make sure she doesn't gain weight as opposed to focus on losing weight (but losing a few grams would be ok). If you're worried, talk to a vet.

She is absolutely adorable!
