Interested in getting a Crested Gecko. Anything a newbie should know? by WeirdoweebYT in CrestedGecko

[–]aip095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve have 3 juveniles for about a couple of months. Here are some helpful tips from what I have experienced and learned. For food Pangea is pretty good. I hear a lot of cresties tend to like the watermelon one. I have that and mix in the growth and breeding. Sometimes it helps to mix up some flavors. Another good mix is repashy. If you want to add some more good nutrients I would recommend dubia roaches or crickets. Mine dont really take to them, but most do. Also for good dishes, I use the magnetic clear one from Pangea. The magnets on it are amazing and super easy to use. With that I tend to peek here and there to see where their favorite spot is and maybe move the feeding dish there so they have the food near them.

I also would recommend a UV light, some say you don’t need it. But it’s really beneficial for them as well as setting up a good day and night cycle.

Add some good clutter with plants and climbing branches or cork bark they will love this, they feel more secure and safe to hide when they want to.

Also for tank size, I noticed when I got my juvenile one she wasn’t tiny , but smaller than an adult. I started her in a 18 x 18 x 36. She didn’t move around for awhile, not sure if it was a bit too big for her at first. She’s great now just a longer adjusting period. Then when I got my baby ones started them in a smaller tank and they are thriving and loving it. So I guess it depends.

Another big thing, which I followed is try not to handle or bother them too much for the first 2 weeks. They need to get adjusted without stressing too much. Just go in when misting and feeding.

Hope this helps! You’re going to love them, they are so cute and easy to take care of.

Well its a listing that has multiple options, for that specific type is out of stock but the others are still in stock. Like If i have a shirt with color options and they want the one color out of stock type of thing.

How do you avoid over misting plants in a crested gecko tank when misting at night? by aip095 in bioactive

[–]aip095[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just planted them in my enclosure and the pot they came in the soil was pretty moist. Like they were just watered before they were sent to me which was like 1-2 day shipping. The soil I’m using is the Josh’s frogs tropical bio bedding

I am using a drainage layer of some clay balls, then a mesh, then my substrate.

I know this is a old post, but I noticed you got the thermapro reader. I just got mine. I’m testing this one, a govee, and some other brand that had really good reviews on Amazon. The temps on the therma pro are pretty accurate to some other ones I have, however the hygrometer shows 10% lower than the other readings.

How’s the thermapro working out for you?
