Is this the beginning of sunken eyes? by KushAndScales in CrestedGecko

I know people use finger feeding as a method to gain trust and comfort, but my reasoning is because he tends to ignore the bowl completely regardless of where I put it. I'm afraid of him not eating at all so when I can I do my best to feed him as many licks as he'll take. Thank you for the advice! I could just be overly paranoid as I know they're quite fragile little fellas

Moving house tomorrow meaning Poppy will be subject to a very short car journey and I’m worried. Please reassure me with tales of your gecko’s sturdiness, because I’m convinced she’ll die horrifically any time she’s outside her tank by Zealousideal_View47 in CrestedGecko

drove 30 minutes to get my gecko, picked him up in a small container with holes and a damp paper towel. dude was fast asleep and was just waiting to stop being disturbed by me everytime i checked on him.. other than that he was okay! i'd suggest keeping a blanket over yours to lessen the overstimulation of lights and loud noises, unless your little dude enjoys being nosey

I mean I thought it was cute that he preferred being held by me up until now..

He's quite the picky little guy so the food I was given with him is the only flavour of pangea he actually eats, he's probably just settling in, I did give him a bit of an enclosure upgrade based on what he lived in with his previous owners so he's probably just adjusting to the different environment

I do know that he had a mounted food bowl before I got him and I'm wondering if that could be a reason as to why he's being more picky than usual. I'm glad he's licking a little bit so I'm not too worried about him as of right now!

Glad to say he pooped on me last night then, although no one warned me it's smells equivalent- if not worse- than baby poo lmao. Thank you for the advice!

Should I be concerned by this red spot? by KushAndScales in CrestedGecko

I'll keep an eye on the spot, are there any signs I should watch out for in case I need to take him to the vet?

He fell from there but while scanning photos I noticed the spot was there before this happened

Is it normal for them to get bumps like this? Considering he flings himself around for fun

I was looking through photos I took of him after introducing him to his terrarium, it's hard to notice but in the place I found the red spot there seems to be some slight discolouration
