    As with any reptile, it's pretty safe to say keep handling to a minimum for the first week or so.

    crested geckos

    Wait until they are eating well. Some are settled in within a week and some take a few weeks.

    I usually give them a month so they can seattle in, get use to seeing me around and giving them there food dish with rephasy and mist them and so they will get use to me and eating and seattle in but I hold sparingly maybe 5 minutes every week or 3 just so they can ease in to the idea of being handled and to prevent tail drops

    Re: crested geckos

    Thanks! I already have 1 crestie, so I know how to take care of them. Now I am going to start breeding them. I am so excited! I have researched and asked people about breeding cresties. I also have some questions that I have posted on here in a thread called "breeding crested geckos".
