But I do plan on having plants such as pothos, snake plants, bromeliads & nerve plants in the setup. I...

    Crested Gecko Eye Problem?

    Hey everyone, I’m new to the forum, just hopping on to ask a question. I was cleaning my crested gecko’s enclosure today and noticed this abnormality in one of his eyes.

    Escaped Gecko

    Last night, I opened a place on the lid for wires to put a thermometer probe in. I forgot to close it, and he got out sometime last night. I tore my room apart searching for him, and I can still not find him. I also quickly searched the nearby rooms, and put a towel under the door to make sure...

    URGENT! AC broke and I need to cool my crestie FAST

    This morning I realized my AC in my apartment was broken. It's over 80 f in here and I don't know how to cool my baby crestie down or what to do. He's about 5-6 months old. Please, I don't want to lose him.

    Heat

    I have a heat lamp on the right side of my 20 gallon tank, and the temp on the left side is 3 degrees above what it should be. Is there anything I could do to lower the temp on the left side without lowering the right temp?

    Gecko starrt wand an

    Ich habe mir vor gestern einen Kronengecko gekauft (auf der Terraristika). Ich habe mich vorher auch gut informiert aber Tagsüber liegt er nur rum, was natürlich nicht verwunderlich ist weil er schläft, aber wenn er aufwacht setzt er sich auf den Boden und starrt die Kork rückwand an. Da ich...

    Continuous egg laying?

    Hello. I have a female crested gecko that I have had since she was about two months old. This year she turned 6. I have noticed for the past 8-10 months she has been laying eggs. This is a new behavior for her. She has never been around males so they are definitely dud eggs. My concern is the...

    Crested Gecko not Sticking?

    Hi, I've had my crested gecko for a while now and I've never had this issue before, but he isn't able to stick to things anymore. He used to sleep in leaves but now he just sits at the top of the terrarium. If I take him out he'll feel really slippery and he struggles a lot. He's been like this...

    Pores? Weird white spot?

    Hello all! I'm a new Crested gecko owner who just purchased one at PetSmart a couple weeks ago. I know PetSmart isn't a good place to get anything but after months of searching stores in my area, they're the only ones with Cresties. I have my new scaled friend in a fully bioactive converted...
