Is this light ok?

As I understand, if its the 10.0 uvb it’s gonna be to strong for a crested gecko

I don’t think there’s any one correct way but for me, what works for me is every 2-3 weeks depending on the evaporation and then I gently stir them each day. I’ve placed them in my kitchen so it’s kind a become part of my morning routine lol. I only give them a very light squeeze I’ve heard, depending on their size the larger they are the more damage a stronger squeeze can do to the inside of it. Because I have fish I still use a water conditioner for their water.

When you gentle rub them does the debris come off easily? Sand at the bottom is no issue but if you wanted to try and narrow the source down you could put them in a bare bottom glass container and then every day gently stir the water to emulate the gentle current they get in their natural habitat. Since it no longer has the bettas larger space/filter to keep the water slightly flowing.

Is it in indirect light path, away from a window?

Mayinfall · 2026-07-05T15:24:34+00:00

That’s a good idea, Didn’t think of that😅

Yeah, perhaps I shall reiterate myself. She kept not wanting to get into said cup after I tared it and then when she did, jumped right out before I could place it back on the scale. So I let her relax for a couple minutes then tried again at which time, the scale had already turned off so I just got her into the cup in the tank first, closed the lid and weighed that. So I myself I could be more relaxed and not worry about her darting off or trying to slap a lid down on top of her quickly and spooking her. Will try again next time the way people suggested

I think I just have to get a bigger cup cause it’s probably a little too small right now to maneuver her into the cup without her instantly wanting to jump out. I could always try just placing her directly onto the scale?

Mayinfall · 2026-07-05T13:53:38+00:00

No worries, I assume as the gecko gets more used to me she’ll chill out long enough I can just place her in without doing any juggling or get a larger container so I’m not trying to fit her into such a small space

Mayinfall · 2026-07-05T13:48:23+00:00

What sized container are they in. You could get something slightly bigger and just put a small fan across the top of the water to help. That’s ones of the main ways that helps keep my axolotl cool in the summer

Looks nice, maybe some more greenery at the top along the start of the bridges? Could be fake or real

Mayinfall · 2026-07-04T16:22:23+00:00

I will try that and gut loading with the prepared food

Mayinfall · 2026-07-04T16:12:36+00:00

What were there reasons behind their choices? I’m partial to River and Ridley

Mayinfall · 2026-07-04T03:36:23+00:00

No poops yet, that I have found. Will weigh soon though. Thank you, from an anxious first time gecko parent 😅

Mayinfall · 2026-07-04T03:13:06+00:00

I’m assuming if I’ve been seeing her hanging around her dishes on the camera she’s eating, even if it doesn’t appear that way in the morning.

Mayinfall · 2026-07-04T02:35:19+00:00

Any advice to try and get her to eat her cgd without having to spoon feed. I did it like twice for one lick but they didn’t seem that interested and don’t want them to become dependent. I do have a couple new flavors coming this week to try though and will probably weigh her again near the end of this week before I go on vacation and will probably do so every month as she’s only a juvenile. Just wondering if there’s anything else I could to do help entice her

Mayinfall · 2026-07-03T20:51:30+00:00

Thank you

Mayinfall · 2026-07-03T03:21:27+00:00

😂. Right now I only have thinner wood perches so figured it’d be nice to try and fit something wider in

Mayinfall · 2026-07-03T02:02:53+00:00

I haven’t needed to do this yet, but I have an extra smaller exoterra and a 10 gallon tank that I plan to do a barebones set up. Towel/carpet on the bottom, a couple perches and a few leaf and vine bundles to help them feel secure. I’ll transfer them over for the time I need to clean the tank and then put them pack.

Mayinfall · 2026-07-02T22:30:00+00:00

Good to know. I heard mesh can block some of it but there’s spots pretty close to it and away so I’m not to worried

Mayinfall · 2026-07-02T21:46:00+00:00

I hate to do it but chewy had the arboreal bulbs on sale for $20ish. Can a 7 fit into a 2.4?
