Yeah, I also blame Deborah!!

LOL

For starting to look into Geckos, that is. She posted such a cool picture of one. So...after looking and reading, I decided a little Crestie is going to join the household.

Picked one out, but will probably not be shipped until the week after next one. After having near summer weather for a few weeks it decided to get cold again, esp. at night. Next week we will still have cold nights on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Well, here is the lil one. 10 gr., probable male. Pictures taken from breeders website, will post my own once he arrives :)

My two cresties are pretty social! They're so sweet when there out. Not near as skiddish as I thought! I love mine :) I wasnt too happy about bugs either, but I go by PetSmart once a week and get 10 for a dollar, and that feeds em. Also, I usually just dust and drop them in! So pretty easy! Here's some pics of Bea. And congrats Zina!! So exciting!!!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e81725c477.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...240476bc7b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dab9079e15.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3c43a11ad3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...edc84ca8ce.jpg

From my research (no actual experience yet) you CAN handle, but like with all reptiles, keep it to a minimum, esp. when they are young. There is a TON of info and videos out there !!

There are "complete" feeds, powders you mix with water to create a "smoothie". That is actually all they "need". (Repashy, Pangea) But many people still feed some crickets or other insects on occasion. Like a couple times the week or month (depends on who you ask)

They need temps between 72 an 78 degrees, are usually as low as 65. Can NOT handle heat, though.

Supposedly mine is currently eating Repashy Mango. So I ordered some of that as well as Repashy with bugs, and Pangea with bugs. I heard the ones with bugs get thicker and more "gel" like, but put weight on nicely.

We'll see what he prefers, LOL. Will be one spoiled Gecko, I'm sure...
