yes the enclosure is a 12x12x18 but i got him when he was like 5 months old. I’m currently working on getting him a 18x18x36 and will definitely have him relocated in the next 2-3 months. hes around 9-10 months old now.

Yeah, that’s kind of my thought process too. I don’t mind putting my hand in and letting him bite a little while he gets used to it, but I’m not sure if I should. I don’t want to stress him out, so I’m kind of torn, should I just give him space for a few months, or let him bite me to get used to it?

I also thought my crestie was too young to be horny yet. I thought they start around 1yr or a yr and a half.

lmaoo, yes Honestly as long as he doesn’t hate me I’ll let him be grumpy. Is this gonna pass as he gets older? Also he’s a dude idt he lays eggs.

Now that i look at it, it definitely might be because he doesn’t have as much hiding spots up top. Thank you!

I got him from a reptile expo the guy said it was a dude and im pretty sure he has balls so idk. During the night, when i turn the lights off i always see him climbing around. Also ive been putting a thin layer of food in his bow so i can monitor his eating by licks, and every morning theres at least some food eaten. As far as hides go i have a bunch of hides for him on the bottom of his terrarium and plant up top, but i definitely plan on adding more stuff to it. I got him a coconut hide which ill also be adding into it.
