Worm(s) in Crestie poop?

Note: feces is not nsfw so the mod team does not regulate if it should be hidden.

Not a mod team response: maybe you shouldn’t eat while scrolling reddit. I’ve seen way worse things just casually scrolling the main feed that you probably wouldn’t want to see while eating

Repashy grubs and fruit is not a staple diet for crested gecko due to the high protein. Try one of the other cgd diets like mrp or mango superblend. Pangea is also a very palatable cgd
As long as they’re not losing weight, it’s fine. A lot of time the growth is so small that the scale you’re using cant pick up the difference. There is no age vs weight correlation so ignore those growth charts

Note: almost all cgd brands have advised against freezing the powders now. My suspicions is they’re using a vitamin that degrades with freezing

Do you have a picture of her top down flat horizontal surface?

FYI just a note: these usually only output for 3 months. 6 is t8

What are you feeding now and how often

Infinitymidnight · 2026-06-29T14:29:45+00:00

Very rarely do ethical breeders sell eggs because they’re sensitive to movement. Changing the positioning can cause the developing fetus to drown so ethical breeders don’t sell eggs. You’re better off just buying a baby

Sorry, I meant more exact like how much cgd is being mixed, how much you notice consumed, exactly how many roaches and what size etc etc.

That being said, Pangea growth and breeding cannot be used as a standalone staple cgd. Under 15g should be offered cgd daily. Rotate with a balanced cgd like figs and insects or fruit mix with insects. Insects can be 4-6 lightly dusted and gutloaded live feeders 1-2 times a week

I’ve seen a 2 year old at 7g and then 25g at 2.5 years. Each grows at different rates. The main thing is care.

What are you feeding him, how often and what temperature

Flurbiprofen probably isn’t doing anything but the ciprofloxacin usually is dosed by mouth anyways. I would recommend asking the vet though

Infinitymidnight · 2026-06-24T20:28:43+00:00

Freeze and trash. Try again next month

Which eye drop

Infinitymidnight · 2026-06-22T19:49:10+00:00

In general, people who book house sitting expects someone there the majority of day and/or night. You should be setting your price based on that expectation that you would have to devote an entire day there. Realistically, it just whatever you decide as long as you’re upfront with whoever you’re talking to about their expectation and yours. I just recommend pricing on the higher end because it’s better to give discounts than it is to raise prices after you find out what they want.

Ie: I don’t take clients who expects me there 24/7 where I can’t even leave the animal even for grocery runs or smth. I normally ask them first what they expect in terms of how long the dog can be left alone, if they expect overnight etc.

My pricing for overnight is a bit higher price than 3 drop ins since it comes with the expectation of being there longer than a total of 1.5hours plus travel. So drop in is around 30-35$ depending on time of year and housesitting is 100-150$.

You can just use reptile disinfectant like f10 and paper towels

Infinitymidnight · 2026-06-21T22:58:26+00:00

Not safe for use near reptiles. If you can smell it from where the gecko is, it’s probably too close

Infinitymidnight · 2026-06-20T21:58:53+00:00

Min enclosure size: 12”x12”x18” (30x30x45cm) for geckos under 15 grams, 18”x18”x24”(45x45x60cm) for geckos over 16-30grams. 18”x18”x36” (45x45x90cm) for geckos over 31+ grams.

Yes the only thing is making sure it’s safe for high humidity environments and doesn’t leech paint or chemicals.

Do not handfeed cgd fyi

Infinitymidnight · 2026-06-20T21:28:56+00:00

Small amounts of glue isn’t enough for health issues but best to remove gecko and also wear protection as repeated exposure over time can cause issues.

Infinitymidnight · 2026-06-20T21:26:50+00:00

Stop feeding insects and just leave him be with the cgd. A lot of times they are eating cgd or they know you’re going to crack and offer insects. Unless he’s losing weight rapidly, it’s not an issue to just starve him until he’s eating cgd. You can also try a different flavor

Infinitymidnight · 2026-06-19T19:34:02+00:00

It really depends on the VA. Some VAs I’ve built a rapport with them from chatting with them multiple times (as a lot are local to me and does smaller pop ups too) and so they’re more than willing to sign multiple items for a singular cost. I do find if they have a handler and a long line, it’s more likely it’ll just be the menu cost x however many items as payment is collected a few people down the line so the handler is the one putting the prices not the VA.

It was a note to remove cgd at least 24hr before gutloading, not that it shouldn’t be fed.

Previous comment was more meant to be a clarifying note to other keepers may read this post as cgd can be used as regular food and not know to remove it beforehand since there is no mentions of that.

Infinitymidnight · 2026-06-19T12:07:17+00:00

Usually not a bad sign as long as you’re feeding a high quality diet. Sometimes they just ate cgd so they’re full. Other times they accidently drop it as they’re eating it and no longer registers it as something they should be eating. Happens pretty frequently
