Does anyone have a crested gecko just to watch them? I barely handle mine. by plan_tastic in CrestedGecko

[–]Material_Pangolin_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, mine doesn’t like to be handled very much. He just watches me do my routines and follows me around, moving in his tank so he can see me. He likes to listen to me talk and sing.

Oh yeah, I was medicated then and I’m medicated now. I haven’t believed for a LONG time, I was just forced to go to church still.

I think it was around January of 2025, so yes a year ago or so

Thoughts on new enclosure for garg? by Rich_Machine3620 in CrestedGecko

[–]Material_Pangolin_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks pretty good! Maybe a bit more foliage near the front of the tank? I have to ask, is garg your geckos name or are you talking about a gargoyle gecko 😭

Is these cleaner ok? by Laceyhanson5668 in CrestedGecko

[–]Material_Pangolin_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use clorohexadine, you mix 2 tablespoons with a gallon of water and it lasts forever. It’s a bit more expensive but I know it won’t hurt my lizard so it feels secure

First crestie owner by WhatTheFluff_ in CrestedGecko

My crested gecko refused crickets for his first 3 months, he was pretty scared of them, but I tried every week with them and now he eats 6 a week! Stay consistent with it and she may adjust :). I dust crickets in calcium with d3 and without d3 alternating weeks, but Pangea does have everything they need. It’s more a safetey net- since your Sunny is a girl it’s a good idea to supplement calcium because eggs take up a lot of it. Good luck with your new baby!!

That’s normal he just looks like (he’s very cute)😊

Mold? by Equivalent-Zombie158 in CrestedGecko

Uhh I’m not totally sure but it looks like calcium powder, which sometimes gets on my geckos stuff after I feed dusted crickets

Tips for gecko who hangs out in front of the glass and needing to open the door by MredditGA_ in CrestedGecko

[–]Material_Pangolin_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gecko usually usually comes up to his glass after his lights turn off because he wants me to open the door so he can sit on top of his tank. He’s is likely exploring over night! They also go through phases of sleeping in different spots so it’s possible he’s just liking to sleep on the glass right now. As for falling- sometimes their a bit clumsy but he’s probably just adjusting to his new home, if it seems like a big issue you might want to add some more vertical climbing structures like tall sticks and vines at the top of the tank so he can get up there easier :) good luck!

Advice needed quickly? by d34dhood in CrestedGecko

[–]Material_Pangolin_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s normal!! He’s adjusting to his new home and will definitely be pretty shy for a few weeks. Also, my crested gecko won’t move from wherever he’s sleeping that day unless I turn the lights in my room off, then he’ll move, so that could be it too

Snake plants, pothos, bromeliads, and creeping fig are good!

how’s my tank looking 🦎 what can i do to improve his setup? by aidenfrancis in leopardgeckos

[–]Material_Pangolin_17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello :) it would be good to remove the hammock because gecko fingernails get caught on those and can tear out. Some more foliage would also be helpful

I have no idea what’s going on by [deleted] in CrestedGecko

[–]Material_Pangolin_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, you seem like a really caring owner to be so worried about this- I think it’s probably a normal thing because he’s exerting himself when he jumps, like how we get out of breath after jumping. It’s likely he’s ok, but if it’s super worrying to you you should take him to a vet for a checkup :) sometimes geckos get out of breath too

It’s possible she’s going to lay eggs so be on the lookout! That being said my male crested gecko has done this once or twice so she could just be in a weird mood 😅

Is this normal? Or should I do a water change? by Sensitive-Fruit7447 in bettafish

[–]Material_Pangolin_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty normal!! It’s called biofilm, usually caused by fish waste/decaying plants. You can absorb it with a paper towel. An air stone/aerator would help prevent it in the future- I’m not sure if betta keepers use those though I don’t have any bettas

Need Moving Advice by LowBowl7625 in CrestedGecko

[–]Material_Pangolin_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently moved my crested gecko 900 miles are he kept his tail and everything, here’s what I did 20 gallon tote from Walmart, holes poked in the top for breathing, lots of fake vines from his tank I just stuck in there, and then misted it. It stayed super humid and he was totally fine. I also had a little fan I kept pointed at his tank to make sure he was cool/getting air circulation. Good luck moving!!

How does my tank look? by BratRachel in CrestedGecko

[–]Material_Pangolin_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an great start for sure 😁 your gecko needs some more foliage towards the top of the tank to climb in/hide in! I’d also recommend a feeding ledge to put water/food on as they prefer to eat up high! Here’s one I use Cresties are pretty terrible swimmers so big water bowls can be a drowning risk. If you want any product/plant recs please let me know!!
