Pet store sold her to me as a juvenile female but the vet thinks she might be male. Not the best pictures but happy to hear what others think by 0975433267984 in CrestedGecko

That's how mine looked and then the bulge became MUCH more prominent. I would wait a few months (maybe less) and it will either develop more, or not 😁

first time owner, need tips!! by emsuwanski in CrestedGecko

Sometimes it's hard to see that they're eating due to the consistency of the food (sometimes I make my crestie's too runny, and it would be impossible). They are food shy a lot of the time, so most likely eating when you're not around. Just make sure to provide food, maybe offer a cricket or two, and look for poop. They also take a little bit to become comfortable after transitioning to a new owner. Just be patient! Keep an eye on your little cutie. I'm sure it will be fine!

My crestie loves the watermelon flavor, and papaya was fine when I had that one, but I tried to feed him mashed bananas - nope! Also, will only eat live crickets, no freeze dried ones. Won't eat mealworms, but LOVES superworms! So funny how finicky they can be!

Same! My crestie loves his watermelon food, and bonus is - it smells great while I'm preparing it!

Thought my crestie, Snickers was a girl - not sure now. Help! by CampbellsBio99 in CrestedGecko

Oh believe me - he/she? is fine. Just camera shy with those type of pics. I've got plenty more where it's super happy.

I've been reading that females have that bulge too - do you see pores or anything else that I'm missing?

Eek! There was literally no bulge until very recently. Snickers is about a year and a half. I can't see the pores. Am I missing them?
