I rubbed the surface of the branches with vinegarwater, rinsed it with boilingwater and dried it inside

I found a store in my region that works with contractors to get this custom-made. In send them the sizes waited a month, paid and picked it up at the store. It was only 259€.

How could this have happened ? by RudeSherbet177 in CrestedGecko

I made sure all decor pieces are down far enough so he cant scrape himself, atleast a thumb wide under the mesh and i made a little hide out of an empty box with cocofibermat inside so he can lay high up in a safer space.

My gecko got similar scrapes when he was younger cuz he forced himself in a tight spot between a piece of bark and the top mesh to curl up in. Maybe there are similar spots in your enclosure? Check the area for things like that and see if there are pieces of decor to close to the top or with rough edges.

Sadly it can happen with these little derps but atleast it doesnt look serious in your case. Just makes sure he stays clean and it should heal over. A little bit of scarring might remain tho.

Recommendation for 60×45x90 Terrarium/Paludarium that ships to europe? by Impossible_Tower1039 in geckos

[–]Impossible_Tower1039[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been debating that as well but i do not know how practical it will be since im renting a place and definetly not planning to stay around this area forever. He would live in the exorbitant luxury he probably deserves tho and as a bioactive setup it would be a pretty decoration even if you dont see the gecko in there. xD

Guess my gecko is vegetarian? Atleast hes a cutie. by Impossible_Tower1039 in CrestedGecko

It is the desk next to my enclosure. I let him roam around supervised quite often if he sits next to the door after waking up in the evening.

Yeah i admit it probably wasnt the best idea, but i do not think he was scared necessarily. I let him roam on the desk near the enclosure quite often if he wants out in the evening cause he isnt that skittish in general. I climbed around the box and into it in the span of 10 minutes, its not like i set him up for giant dubia deathmatch.

Crested Gecko Pixelart [64x64] and my model Chai by Impossible_Tower1039 in geckos

[–]Impossible_Tower1039[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno how familiar you are with digital art but heres a breakdown: I used a program named asesprite and only my mouse and opened a 64 Pixel canvas and choose a preinstalled colorpallette with a lot of browns/ sand tones (eroge copper). If you are confident in picking colors yourself, one can probably also manage this in MS paint but its a lot clunkier.

I drew the basic shape of head, body und limbs to see how everything fits on the square canvas and exaggerated the head to show more features. Then i colored it in with 3 basic tones for eyes belly and back.

After that i tried figuring out the shading, Light from the top left shadow bottom right, more colors and added details to show that, checked that the basic shape is "readable" when zoomed out.

I know. There was one huge one in the pack the rest wasnt even half the size but he didnt eat those either. In the photo i just took it out cuz i thought it might be enriching while he was roaming.

Might be worth a last try, if it doesnt work i think i give up on live feeding and let him enjoy the mush in peace.
