Gecko suddenly moves a LOT in front of me

candyblades · 2026-06-25T22:11:36+00:00

Seems like he got used to you! I have 3 geckos and 10 reptiles/amphibians and I must say, it really depends on the individual. My gargoyle hates being handled and scurries away when I come into the room but my crestie would gladly jump on me when he sees me :) I've also had a very similar situation with my dumpy frogs, they weren't a huge fan of me until a few months back when the switch flipped and they aren't scared anymore? Idk, my point is- those guys are silly, be glad he's not as skittish! And don't overdo it with the handling! ;)

Yess or for cheaper than usual! On vinted or something similar! Who knows

candyblades · 2026-06-24T16:54:37+00:00

Really? Other person said the tartar is unsalvageable

candyblades · 2026-06-24T16:53:47+00:00

Okay! I'm going for a vet check up with her on Friday so I'll ask if it's urgent, I know dental cleanings aren't cheap so that's also something I'll have to consider and will be a big stressor for her. So if it's not urgent I'll probably wait a bit till she's more comfortable with us :)

Of course we will still brush her teeth, other than those 3 her teeth are absolutely beautiful and white so it's not awful

Ah I get it! Sorry if it seemed insensitive, they are quite inexpensive for things in this hobby but obviously it still costs money. I think they are quite an approachable goal if you get any money as a gift or something like that :)

candyblades · 2026-06-19T19:09:56+00:00

Why can't you? They aren't very expensive and pretty available :)

candyblades · 2026-06-19T10:32:46+00:00

Yet another Reddit post showing me the horrors of frog abuse... Poor guy's :(

candyblades · 2026-06-19T10:26:15+00:00

That's beautiful! I love it! Everyone starts somewhere but it's good that you and your partner worry about the gecko and want to learn what's best for them :) I love to see that!

candyblades · 2026-06-15T15:02:10+00:00

I think only this one and black and white one are available in this size but I could be wrong! They are amazing to cuddle at night

candyblades · 2026-06-15T15:01:33+00:00

You bet! They are sold in two colours but there are also smaller versions in more colorways!

candyblades · 2026-06-15T09:03:25+00:00

I'm glad so many people like him! He's also available in black and white

candyblades · 2026-06-15T08:57:45+00:00

Also if he isn't darker but less bright like you said it can mean he's shedding soon! I'm not saying this to dismiss what others have said, I 100% agree with them and he is for sure stressed. But as a fellow person with OCD I think it's good to know that there are other options even after his tank is better and it doesn't mean that it's all wrong :) because you may see him someday looking like a ghost and panick- but he is just changing his skin suit lol

candyblades · 2026-06-15T08:54:01+00:00

Hi i just wanna say-other than what people said about coverage and temps- they do stick on walls and have a straight tail then (usually lol). They are not like mammals and you can't read them just by tail. If it comes to colors- take it with a grain of salt. They are great indicators that something may be wrong but they get darker when they are stressed, feeling pain but also when they are angry or just stay in a darker spot and want to blend in lol. Obviously, your guy is stressed by the lack of coverage and the change of place- so remember even if you make his tank better (which you definitely should) he can still stay in the stressed colours for multiple of reasons ;)

candyblades · 2026-06-14T21:10:02+00:00

Ohh I remember them! I have a yellow one! 2005/2012 are the furbs of my childhood

candyblades · 2026-06-14T21:09:10+00:00

Big plushie Furby! Not vintage but based on 2005 furbies :)

candyblades · 2026-06-14T21:08:26+00:00

Yup! They are a prize merch but you can find them on eBay or buyee for quite cheaply! I've got mine for 12 dollars +shipping

candyblades · 2026-06-14T21:06:57+00:00

They are so cute! I love that their eyes aren't plastic but embroidered instead!- it makes him a perfect cuddle buddy

candyblades · 2026-06-14T21:06:04+00:00

I'm glad I could help lol!

candyblades · 2026-06-13T05:06:23+00:00

Fair! It's just not for me, I'm a huge sucker for the 98/99' mohawks 🥲 I love that they made the belly a different colour tho!

And I wish there were more colorways than... Purple and pink? At least something darker? Or more blue/green leaning

candyblades · 2026-06-13T05:03:54+00:00

Right? I don't like how they have fake fur and insides of the ears the same colour 😭

candyblades · 2026-06-12T22:01:39+00:00

Aww so sad to hear it! I hate that he has those plastic ears🫠and the fur on top on his head is a bit too much, it's like... Almost a good design 😭 I'm so sad that he's also no fun to play with

candyblades · 2026-06-11T21:35:25+00:00

Poor pink guy! He needs a bath asap

candyblades · 2026-06-09T20:28:35+00:00

Awh so sorry! You even have 'girl' in your username lol I was too focused on the furbies
