    For some reason, when I told my older relatives that I got a crested gecko, their first response was, "A live one?" I mean, yes, why would I get a toy one? Isn't that weird? PS. I got a hanging coconut hide and my gecko loves it!

    recent discoveries showed that the new caledonian wild geckos' stomach content is close to 50/50 when it comes to fruits and bugs ratio. also to note, they can be fine for short temperature spikes of +/- 5 F when accounting to their natural range of 70F - 80F, but not for extended periods so still keep an eye on that

    If you buy a crested gecko and they are used to eating live food then they need it in their diet but if it is a baby or has never had live food then it isn’t necessary for a crested gecko to have live food.

    • @ellaworsley5676
      @ellaworsley5676 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      What food is he on? And one cricket a month isn't really enough, try giving him 5 or 6. Make sure his heating is right and that the humidity is good. If he stays so small take him to the vet. He could be sick, as many illnesses in cresties cause stunted growth. Hope this helps x

    • @mitchelll899
      @mitchelll899 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Alyssa Pruitt their slower then all heck to grow up. How big is the tank to body size of snout tip to tail tip maybe your cage needs to go from a 5 to a 10 gallon tank. Also try going to Petco and get calci/Phoenix/black soldier fly worms their packed with tons of calcium and protein with a medium soft shell so 3 of those a week of the little stinky bugs may help your grow a bit more. Trust your instincts with yours if he's eating but not growing don't panic only panic when weight loss starts. Also do bugs 2 times a month.

      Oh these replies are all over the place. 😂 What size gecko? They need different sizes depending on their size/age. An adult can live in a large plastic tub, 12x12x18, 18x18x24, 20 gallon, depends what you want to provide and how big the gecko is. Be careful not to put a hatchling in too big a cage, I keep mine in plastic shoeboxes until about 7 grams.

Do certain oils or perfumes or such hurt geckos if they are on my skin? And do they have a reactive respiratory system like rats do? (My friend's sister is going off to college and I'm taking her crested gecko cause her college won't allow it, I'm trying to do as much research as possible because I want her to be safe and healthy :)

    Can anyone help me out, I have a crested gecko his name is yoshi he’s doing great. But what’s worrying me that his feet are curling I always spray his tank everyday, but I’m just worried if it’s because not enough humidity or is something actually wrong with him. He’s eating perfectly I watch him all the time to make sure, it’s just he doesn’t like climbing and stays on the ground. And it’s worrying me I spend all my time taking care of him but I just want to make sure if I should take him to the vet or something else.

      Sommer Luttrell Depending on the room temperature they may or may not need supplemental heating. Generally during the day they can live at room temperature (70-75f) (80 MAX) and at night they can tolerate a drop to about 65 but I wouldn't go any lower than that. So generally they'll be alright with consistent room temperatures but if your house gets chilly in winter I would get a infrared heat emitter to maintain a temperature between 70-75 during the day and let it drop during the night.
      Along with humidity in between 70-80, higher when they're suspected to shed. Crested geckos can survive on just CGD depending on what they contain, it's best to get ones that contain Calcium and D3 or supplement with those if you purchase a food without.
      Feeding strictly insects isn't recommended because it could make them a bit chubby but feeding them 3-4 crickets once a week is beneficial. Hope this helps!!

    I live in the uk and keep the temp at around 24-26 degrees in my gecko's housing I also spray it twice a day and feed it crickets every other day and paste every day but would like to know about what other foods I can give it. Can you feed them fruit and what about insects and should i just feed them crickets?

    I just got a male crestie, his name is Bacon cuz when he fires up he is a bacon red color 🥓 idk if he is eating tho. Hard to tell. He is calm when i held him at the breeders. Got him from Jaws And Claws Reptiles. He didn’t have a tail when i bought him but i love him nonetheless. I need to get more plants in the future. Luv my baby. Btw he is a year old.

    the other night i walked into my room about 9 pm to my crestie on the floor of his container (repti-carpet). i have a ton of cork on the floor even though i knew he probably wouldn’t use it. i got really worried because i thought he was hurt/sick because they usually aren’t on the floor and he’s only about 2-3 months old. i left him alone and came back every 5 minutes and he’d be in a different spot. i then realized he appeared to be stalking something, so i figured he must be trying to hunt. my dad, a wildlife biologist, agreed. just to test if i was right i found a smallish cricket from outside and threw it in his enclosure. (there wasn’t actually any bugs in his enclosure, i had thought he was too young to eat them at that point) anyway, as soon as it crawled into the cork and vines on the ground he grabbed it and started chewing it. i was so happy and proud oml i felt like a mom who’s baby like are for the first time but yea. so i guess the lesson here is that if your gecko is on the floor it may not be because of him being sick/injured, but that he was hunting. (also just to be clear so no one thinks i’m neglecting him of food i fed him pangea a few hours before and put it in for him) sorry for the long paragraph, but if your crestie is on the floor he could be searching for insects or may be hungry

    Nobody ever talks about how often you should feed the gecko 😅
    Do I have to feed it 2-3 times a day, a week, per month or just everyday or 2?

    so i’m going to be taking in a previously abused crested gecko, he has dropped his tail and is terrified of humans, is there anyway to get him to warm up with me? or is that out of the question?? (his first owners threw pop it’s in his cage and would tap on the glass and handle him harshly)

      They’re definitely leopard geckos. The two species look very similar, but AFTs usually have a stripe down the back. Don’t trust pet stores
