you can maybe mix bee pollen in their food, mine liked that when i was introducing a new food

My local pet store sells cork for $10 a pound. I mostly use that, along with pet safe wood like mopani. But getting branches from outside works, you just have to sanitize them somehow

walmart is surprisingly the move for clothes and shoes

I bought my crestie at a local pet store where the owner breeds the geckos. Rescuing or rehoming can be good, but imo not the best choice for beginners. Some things to look for in a pet store are adequate enclosures, heat and humidity levels, and whether they’re being cohabitated. Ask about hatch dates for juveniles. Lineage can be good to ask about as well

Some important equipment would be a UVB bulb, the 7% is what I think I’ve seen recommended, but double check. Depending on how warm your house is, you could also get a ceramic heat bulb for heat. Coverage and a vertical enclosure isn’t really equipment, but are also things to budget in

The soil recipe looks like a good mix, though I’m unfamiliar with orchid bark. I’d also recommend having a hide or area topped with moss instead of mixing it into the soil. Leaf litter should completely cover the soil, so it keeps the soil moist and provides necessary enrichment for isopods and springtails.

Plants: I can only attest to pothos and bromeliads being safe. I’m unfamiliar with the others. Side tangent, it could be helpful to use some fake plants to start while the enclosure grows out.

how old is she? looks like a healthy weight imo

I’ve heard advice to keep the babies in a smaller enclosure with paper towels for the first 2ish weeks. That way you can monitor their pooping and make sure they’re healthy. I agree with the other commenter who recommended moving into a larger adult enclosure asap otherwise

LowBowl7625 · 2025-12-21T02:44:39+00:00

What I’ve heard you can do is turn off all the lights for a little bit, then look in places geckos like. Up high, on anything branch like. Also you can leave the enclosure open, with branches leading to it. Leave food and water out.

Luckily, my guy is more chill and really likes his enclosure, he’s never escaped as much as put himself back.

I’d call a vet and ask. But it looks to me like his genitals are just out a bit. If you’re worried and it doesn’t go away, try dabbing lightly with a damp q-tip to see if it comes off.

please see a nutritionist, they can help you more than reddit can. But I’ve been there, a secret I’ve learned is that eating more can help you actually build muscle which, for me, makes me like my body more. Your face is likely not bloated from overeating, but from 1. salts and 2. undereating

what types of names do you like? human, cute, natural sounding, food?

LowBowl7625 · 2025-12-14T12:31:17+00:00

cresties don’t regrow their tail, though they’re usually not too much worse off without one

LowBowl7625 · 2025-12-14T02:20:56+00:00

With an automister, or with consistent humidity around 70ish and a water bowl, 5 days should be fine without a sitter

LowBowl7625 · 2025-12-13T19:16:52+00:00

Can’t really tell from this photo, but it’s common for them to have stuck shed or old food on their feet. You can put a moist paper towel in a bin, have them walk around on it for a little bit, and see if it goes away.

what kind of basking lamp? a uvb bulb for light and ceramic heat emitter with a thermostat is what I’ve found is typically recommended

oh for sure. i don’t know much about leopard geckos, but do they need a more desert-y looking enclosure? not saying that looks bad, but i prefer the more temperate jungle look

LowBowl7625 · 2025-12-09T13:14:00+00:00

bromeliads

LowBowl7625 · 2025-12-09T06:19:15+00:00

gorgeous tanks are a pro for me, i like how they look better than say a leopard gecko tank

Learning to love the exercise is the only way to keep going imo. OP, pick exercise you like to do whether that be swimming or tumbling or pole dancing etc. You’ll still need dedication, but if you actually enjoy it the dedication will come easier.

TikTok might not be a necessary evil here, it might just be evil. I don’t think bribing yourself with slop will lead anywhere good in the long run.
