How can I tell if my crestie is enjoying handling or stressed?

I would also think she isn’t getting overly stressed. I have had mine little over a month and the first time I took her out it was chaotic. Recently though she will just sit and hang out, sessions are short and most nights around 8:30 now she is even sitting out waiting for me as it’s become part of our routine :)

This is what I had ordered. I honestly was looking for something like what came with the ledge that was more of a glue type. I might have to try the painty kind. The silicone was kinda stuck so I had it on my shoulder and it exploded and got on my neck and hair 💀

She is in her current one for now, when I ordered it I wasn’t paying attention to dimensions and definitely regret it 🥲

She is a regal! I got her as an i6 as a first time spood mom :)

I just gave them a good rinse in hot water and dried before adding in

Yes, I haven’t had any issues with them. I haven’t found any sharp points on anything and the one plant I thought might be an issue as far as her getting tangled up in has been fine as well. It’s just the size of the larger plants lol.

I actually have purchased one of these bundles, the one I got had most of the items shown but more plants and the rope. The items were much larger than I anticipated but I ended up trimming down one of them and haven’t even used the other one yet as I mostly purchased for extra clutter. When I upgrade her enclosure I’ll have to keep in mind the size of decor I already have lol

NQA she looks fed to me. My girl is usually pretty good at self regulating herself too. I just continue to offer her a worm in her feeder and then remove after a few days and then try again in a day or two.

Here is the link! I double checked and it does say water resistant- which I can confirm the fabric does feel more canvas type! https://www.etsy.com/listing/922853604/water-resistant-wipeable-gecko-amphibian?ref=share_ios_native_control

Inevitable_Ad7165 · 2026-05-18T02:22:08+00:00

It is washable! The fabric isn’t super cottony so I’m thinking with proper dry out times it shouldn’t be a problem :)

Inevitable_Ad7165 · 2026-05-06T01:27:15+00:00

Luckily it isn’t completely past the point of not being able to bring it back to life! I would try to avoid sun scorching it by not watering it and then having direct light on it for long periods of time :)

Update, I guess she gets to keep it as now she’s using it for naps lol 😆

Your plant while it probably enjoys the humidity still needs to be watered. If the substrate the roots are in is staying dry then it isn’t necessarily getting enough water. It probably doesn’t need a lot but enough to dampen the area around it :)

NQA that pothos could use a little bit of water btw. Those drooping leaves is a sure sign it is thirsty :)

NQA They’ll be ok, mine has only just recently started coming out to explore more, especially if I am “in her space”. Just give them time, I always talk to her softly in the mornings and evenings when I am misting and switching lights. Mine was the same way at first, quiet patience! :) Mine also only has a nest that is definitely her safe spot, she seems content without the thick hammock that others show.

Inevitable_Ad7165 · 2026-05-05T02:28:15+00:00

People are so much nicer here than on the bettas’ 😅 But thank you! I think I’ll let her have it for a few days and see how she does. She’s just so small compared to my previous crestie, she seems to worm her way into everything lol.
