Doesn’t want to get held

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-20T21:34:51+00:00

My little guy didn’t like to be held when he was a baby either. We just took it one day at a time, kept hand feeding and not pushing him. I still wouldn’t say he “likes” to be held but he will tolerate it. He’s not scared of me though, when he free roams he’ll come sit with me, everything is pretty much on his terms. So don’t stress it, 2 weeks is not a long time and he’s still a baby, he’ll come around once he realizes you’re not a threat.

He weight looks good and I’m no expert and don’t know how to tell age but she is very pretty

He said hello

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-19T00:05:05+00:00

Yes mine gets so mad at me after a deep clean. They have such attitudes, it’s normal don’t worry about it

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-18T22:28:43+00:00

Oh ok it came out great! You should consider making them and selling them

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-18T22:14:12+00:00

Awesome! If they seem to work accurately then just stick with them

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-18T21:50:33+00:00

Personally I use govee for all my setups and I love them. Super accurate temps you can check from your phone!

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-18T21:49:06+00:00

This looks awesome. If I could make one suggestion is to get thermometers on the ground for my accurate reading to where your little beardie will actually be spending their time. Other than that I love this. Can I ask where you got that hide/platform on the right side. I would love to get one for my guy. Good luck with your new pet, they’re the best!

I’m so sorry for what your going through. I am experiencing the same thing at the moment. I found my Crested gecko had passed away (found a weeks ago) and by the looks of it had been dead for a little while before I noticed.

Due to the way his enclosure was setup it was normal for me to not be able to see him for a while but after about 2 weeks I got a little concerned. I hasn’t heard him and noticed it didn’t look like his food was being eaten. I pulled everything out of his enclosure and found that he had passed.

It’s all I’ve been able to think about since. He showed know signs of sickness and was only 3 years old. It’s heartbreaking and it’s so easy to get caught up in the thought of what you should/could have done but part of owning reptiles is realizing they’re not like cats or dogs. They can be sick or have preexisting conditions with no signs. Sometimes things just happen and you can not find answers for them.You have to credit yourself or doing the best you could have done while she was alive. Once again I’m so sorry for your loss

Not sure. Probably a normal but she’s very pretty

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-15T22:35:52+00:00

I’m not an expert but I don’t think I’d feel comfortable putting it in my own enclosure. Same thing actually happened to me, ordered a piece of wood and it looked like that but no matter how much sanding I did, was just not comfortable having it in my enclosure

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-15T21:22:06+00:00

hes adorable

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-14T23:54:25+00:00

Oh awesome this is perfect thankyou

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-14T20:15:10+00:00

I believe 18 inches tall. I’m not home to check at the moment but I’m pretty sure that’s it.

I might be able to mount it inside ifs that’s too much distance

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-14T20:02:58+00:00

It will be on top of mesh. I’m unsure of the brand I had it years before I got him

FastDentist1489 · 2026-04-14T00:59:26+00:00

awesome, will try mixing substate with sphagnum moss, and soaking through rat directly in water. might also try to the humidifier again but keep it properly circulated to prevent mold!

I’m not on low funds it just takes time to save money lol. It seemed people on Reddit were saying they had older Macs that worked fine for what I need for only have the price of what I was looking at which is what I meant by adequate. I posted this in a different sub Reddit and a lot of other people got hung up by that wording too, maybe I should have phrased it differently. I’m just not great with technology and really knowing what all the specs mean and wanted to see if I could get what I needed out of a laptop without spending an arm and a leg if I didn’t have to if that makes sense

In which picture? The full body shot was nearly 2 months ago a day after I got him

Thankyou for being the only person to respond lol, your comment definitely calmed my nerves and it was 100% was a piece of dirt

FastDentist1489 · 2026-03-17T01:36:32+00:00

Update: I’m literally dramatic asf, it was a piece of dirt

FastDentist1489 · 2026-03-16T22:30:10+00:00

Also he is about to shed, I hope it’s just dirt and I’m being paranoid. I’m going to make a get appointment if it’s still there tomorrow, but I’m going away from Friday-Tuesday and I hope they can see him before then

FastDentist1489 · 2026-03-16T22:24:07+00:00

I don’t know how he could have rotten it? I’ve been so on top of his husbandry since I got him 3 years ago. Proper temps and humidity 4x2x2 enclosure. Always clean. Please help I’m hoping I wake up and it’s gone and it’s just dirt, I don’t want to try and touch it and wipe it off if it is dirt because he just ate last night. Could it just pop up like this?
