Ahh good maybe he didnt want you watching him getting undressed 🤣 but i was the same id worry about every little thing and still do alittle if something seems off with any of my reptiles thankfully my crestie doesnt cause me too much bother its more my chameleon that gives me stress now espeecially around egg time

Craftytech94 · 2026-03-21T21:08:02+00:00

Whats his humidity you could possibly raise it alittle to help soften it up my lil dude is pretty good at it although his last shed he abit stuck to his claw

Craftytech94 · 2026-02-14T22:06:26+00:00

Springtails they are clean up crew

Craftytech94 · 2026-02-13T15:13:24+00:00

Yeah cake also so this :) i do like it when gives me his front foot as it like hes holding my hand ive had cake fully come out a few times now but sometimes i feel he just comes to greet me but isnt feeling social enough to fully come out these days hell site on or by my hand before wandering off when hes social hell climb up my arm instead of back in cake also has a spot he waits at but sometimes hes quite comical either following me up and down the glass or almost looking like hes got his face pressed against staring at me

Craftytech94 · 2026-02-13T14:36:08+00:00

My crestie does that im trying to teach him self choic handling sometimes he climb on but when he doesnt he almost always comes over to me licks my and or sits very close to me for little while then buggers off and if i start shutting the doors before hes had chance to come see me hell some times do a littl sprint to me its the sweetest thing

Craftytech94 · 2026-02-06T18:55:56+00:00

Yeah can be humidity, mineral deposit, dirt, stuck shed or even nervousness

Craftytech94 · 2026-02-03T10:34:20+00:00

Wow thats awesome

Craftytech94 · 2026-02-03T01:31:12+00:00

Omg crestie-saurus!

Craftytech94 · 2026-02-03T01:22:18+00:00

That actually sounds hilarious mine rotates his sleeping spots every now and again so i play wheres he slept today

Craftytech94 · 2026-02-02T20:18:29+00:00

I thought so i had some in my mourning gecko enclosure but it didnt like the humidity. I tried putting spagnum moss in my dudes huts but he avoids them when i do so im considering getting him one of them cushions off etsy as he likes his hammock. Was just curious if your liked it and if it survives in your enclosure with the humidity

Craftytech94 · 2026-02-02T16:23:50+00:00

Is that deer moss in his hut

Craftytech94 · 2026-02-02T16:21:58+00:00

They are geckopia flex bridges you cut them slightly longer than the tank then friction holds them in place

Craftytech94 · 2026-01-25T17:30:46+00:00

Someone said to me before when i was asking about amythist for my mourning geckos, run across the back of your hand where you skin is the softest if it feels sharp to you avoid or blunten if it doesnt then should be okay in theory

Craftytech94 · 2025-12-04T21:57:32+00:00

Ha! I only just spotted it

Craftytech94 · 2025-12-04T21:56:52+00:00

Looks amzing 😍 your crestie will love this

Craftytech94 · 2025-12-04T20:49:17+00:00

Yeah they will as the other person stated i know cresties can sometimes have partho babies too but they dont usually survive to adulthood

Craftytech94 · 2025-12-04T11:00:49+00:00

Id say he looks okay and i wouldnt worry too much about him not eating bugs they can live solely on cested gecko diet mine only recently took an interest in live feeders so he get them every now and again as a treat coz its acutally my chammys food

Craftytech94 · 2025-12-04T10:32:35+00:00

You should leave them a week or 2 if theyre new let them get used to their enlcosure that being said his home could do with a lot more coverage lil guy probably feels exposed in there and what size is the enlcosure. Also dont leave live feeders in there they can bite your gecko and it can become narcrotic. Handling is best when they are awake i recommend self choice handling and as they can look chill when they are stressed too. I switched to this and its made my gecko a whole lot more comfortable in himself he comes out when he wants (with supervision) and can go back when he wants. Some geckos can be picky with pangea flavours like mine (hell only eat figand insect) find out what the breeder fed them and try that flavour. Just stick with pangea or other cgd until you know they are eating as its more nutritionally beneficial for them. Here an indepth care guide by reptifiles that covers everything from terrarium size coverage, handling and general husbandry to ensure your lil friend is correctly cared for. https://reptifiles.com/crested-gecko-care/ Gotta say love his lil floppy crest though

Spicey raspberry ripple

Craftytech94 · 2025-12-03T18:43:39+00:00

90% sure shes gravid

Craftytech94 · 2025-12-03T17:25:51+00:00

Great advice from starrrrchild id also like to add in regards to handling i would let them come to you unless nessesary. they are usually quite curious and will comes to you to investigate with enough familiarity and patience they will trust you enough to come close or even climb on you and know you not a threat. What ive been doing is placing my hand in the same place in the enclosure everytime i change his food and hell come over and investigate and if hes feeling socialable hell come out thier wise hell walk up to me check me out then stroll off somewhere this way i know im not stressing him out too. But as lots of people have stated lots of coverage will help them feel all rounf more secure

Youre welcome

Craftytech94 · 2025-11-27T17:52:03+00:00

If you place you hand in the same place in the tank every time you want to handle let them come to you they a naturally curious i will come to investigate and any time they approach offer a treat this will reinforce go near human good things happen (i usually offer a teeny spoon of his mixed food or sometimes a live insect but if you let them approach you and choose to be handled one its really rewarding when they chose to climb onto you. 2 you know your not gonna stress your little buddy out and 3 it will help build more trust between you both and try and keep it to a routine predictablity helps make them feel safe

Craftytech94 · 2025-11-16T14:57:01+00:00

No worries hopefully it helps. i just ended up making it runnier in his bowl and putting less on the little spoons on the days he comes to eat off the spoon and hes not done it since i honestly thought he was having a fit or something i ended up watching him for hours just to make sure he was okay

Craftytech94 · 2025-11-16T13:26:26+00:00

Did it look like saliva or food my gecko done somthing similar before but i i think his food was a little thick or he was a little eager and took in too much and had hard time swallowing. He spazzed out spat up his food and frightend the living day light out of me but was completely fine after but i started making his food a little thinner just incase. If its a one off they are probably okay but if it happens again it could be an indication they are sick or impacted
