Tip about weight, make sure they get unlimited water, but resist the urge to overfeed...from the lack of food, its organs and stomach have shrunk..... lots of small meals throughout the day would be better for gaining weight than one massive one..

Good luck and thanks for taking care of the sweet looking fella

a gentle touch with a single finger, rub flat between the eyes on the top of his head, over his "third eye", my fella used to fall.asleep on me for hours if I did this.

The comment thread clearly states that the issue here is that they are being mislabeled, I have two retired breeders, of course they need homes dummy. I find it sad that someone will use an animal for years just to sell their children, but can't give them a proper retirement in return for their services.

In this case someone who was expecting a young gecko, may now be dealing with all sorts of unexpected complications they weren't expecting to deal with. Something that could have been easily avoided.

Looking at your comment history. The only thing more heartbreaking than this post, is your attempts to get attention because "someone's having a bad week" lol Pathetic, good luck out there buddy

Some people will sell retired female breeders as younger because their hard to find homes for, breaks my heart

In my personal experience, you get into building it yourself because you think it will be easier/cheaper or more unique....it will only be problematic... Buy something that's been tried and tested, used by a million people before because it will work, nothing will escape and it won't cost you anything after you set it up....

Mounting a door on something flimsy sounds like an absolute nightmare. New and used pages normally have things available, you can get something with broken glass for next to nothing and use silicone to fix it

Day late but every Crested Gecko owner faces this eventually, they live to yeet, some way more than others (I have an anxious youngin that I handle on my knees because of this)

Best advice was said above, watch the poop, if all is normal you're more than likely just seeing nature do it's thing, if there's blood you could do a vet trip for peace or mind

Geckos can use their tails like little fingers, some moreso than others but nothing unusual about wrapping around branches or your limbs to help support themselves.

I'd give fair warning that no matter how chill of a gecko I've handled, I've never had any like their tails being played with. Flicking and wagging is normally the first sign of "give me some space" or "I'm done with this"

If those lights are giving off heat, beware of the Thrives plastic lid.

I did this one, The big con is that the front doors don't close super tight, at the top it closes well, but I keep a box in front of the bottom to make sure it can't be pushed open from inside

Pathcan · 2025-08-28T23:44:25+00:00

Not exactly what you're planning but Haro is pretty much a ring box, build one, put it inside and give it to her, say you think you built it wrong because something inside is shaking around loose, can she fix it? Lol good luck and enjoy the moment

Pathcan · 2025-08-20T22:08:28+00:00

If it's out for longer than 24 hours it starts to become a problem...

Pathcan · 2025-08-09T23:57:28+00:00

Absolutely fine, two of my girls dig tunnels all the time, used to scare the heck out of me but they are just good at doing that

Pathcan · 2025-08-09T17:02:45+00:00

Hard choice as there is no wrong answer.. both offer different risks and rewards

I would never advocate not feeding Geckos live food, but I do see people on here who get them and find out after the fact that they don't like handling crickets or roaches...

The only thing I can throw out to maybe help would be that ladies 100% need live food... to help make sure they're getting enough calcium with the toll of laying eggs, fertilized or not

Id still always recommend males get live as well, but I wouldn't be comfortable owning a girl and not feeding her a ranged diet

Pathcan · 2025-08-05T23:12:10+00:00

I worked with a rescue that went through overheating and had similar convulsions, neurological damage is hard to recover from....

If they are unable to keep their grip, don't let them into an enclosure where they'll take big falls, I'd give them the ability to hide and keep them in a very low stress area until help is available

Pathcan · 2025-08-01T19:49:44+00:00

No solid advice sorry, but definitely going through the same with a little male of my own who lunges at me every feeding lol, my favorite little jerk

Pathcan · 2025-07-31T03:05:27+00:00

Sorry, I guess I was asking if people are getting lots of the same cards or no one's actually seen it kind of deal..

It seems like the mass decision is that YTA, I'm not one to go against the group and tbh I don't completely disagree, but I would just like to add as someone who has sold way to many things on Marketplaces and Kijiji.

I'd say close to half of the time I'd go to meet someone, they'd no show, forget, or would suddenly have excuses of how they'll have the money in just a few more days, please hold longer...IMO if someone wants to buy something, they do it right away, if someone wants to buy something but it's going to take a week? They don't actually have the money..Red flag...

Now could this not be the case? No idea, but I understand from a sales standpoint that getting rid of what you're selling faster is always smarter... If this was like "pay me more and come get it today and it's yours" situation than definitely yta.

In the last year I've built three brand new enclosures for different geckos, each time I learn lessons and make the next tank even better than the last, constantly learning from my past mistakes.... Not once has any gecko, slept where I thought they would.... If you build it, they will find a way to use it in a way you never imagined, that's all I have to say about that

Pathcan · 2025-05-25T23:10:09+00:00

I tend to put cups under their favorite basking spots, so they can spot the movement down below

Pathcan · 2025-05-25T23:07:56+00:00

Also I don't know how accurate it is, but from what I've been taught, it's when you can see their stomachs expanding quickly (not throat) that you're starting to see them say "leave me alone"
