    A few Crestie hacks of my own:
    - *Research your animal*. Find out more about its native environment. Your primary goal is to replicate this as closely as is reasonably possible.
    - Don't be scared of humidity. Cresties are a rainforest species which thrive in 70% humidity. 'Drying out' periods could potentially deprive your gecko of vital hydration, as most hygrometers are inaccurate at reading humidty! Cresties NEED water in order to properly function. Do not relentlessly pursue a false goal of 'drying out' your Crestie tank. Keep it clean and well ventilated.

    I need to super thank you for the glass cleaner tip because not only am I prepping for a crested gecko, my aquatic turtles can hardly be seen through the buildup at it's worst spots and there were no tips I've seen so far that I felt comfortable risking it sliding into the water and their eyes like lime or vinegar would do, but this gel that I finally got to try today - not only does it stay where I put it; I could tell the difference quite quickly! It truly made a huge positive impact! Huge thank you!

    I use milk lids as food bowls as well, but make sure (if u just got a crested gecko and didn't know this) that you clean the milk out properly as they can't digest milk properly. Aha just thought it would be good to let people know who didn't already 😂❤️

  • @madisonslaughter6453
    @madisonslaughter6453 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I use a cave for my gecko's warm hide and he doesn't lay in it often, but he still lays on the heat mat around the hide, so I've never worried much about it.
    Also, I liked this video a lot! Keep up the good work! :)

    I've found the easiest way for cleaning out the cap is to actually lay it in the sink, put the plug in and then run your hot water on it, as hot as it goes. Leave it like that while you're taking our your food, getting your scoop, bottles of water, etc. It's cleans it out perfectly and leaves nothing behind!

    The peeling off the CGD technique reminds me of when you get PVA glue on your hands and you have to rip it off :P I remember we did this in primary school a lot and most people found it satisfactory; I just thought it hurt!
    Have you seen the brand new CGD out? It's by HabiStat and comes in six flavours (banana, mango, strawberry and then each of these again but with crickets)!
    I'd try using an Exo Terra compact top for the jungle dawn, you'd just have to make sure that it would fit in it...

    Hi! I have a created gecko that is very young and is very jumpy. When I try to let it climb on my hand or hold it, it always tries to squirm away from me. I'm afraid that it will jump out of my hand and get lost, but I read somewhere that you should take young geckos out for a couple minutes a day for them to get used to their surroundings. Should I wait until they are older to take them out so they feel more comfortable? Also, they go in hiding into a tree for long periods of time and sometimes I can't find them. Is that normal? Hopefully you respond. I love your videos!
