    Doing some research
    So I'm adopting my fiancé's friends crested geckos. From what I understand they are a male and a female. I haven't seen them in person and I only have these 3 pictures.

    I can't really see their set up but she's giving me that too.

    I'm getting them this weekend, Any suggested reading on these guys beside the mulitude of care sheets I just went though?

    And should I worry about eggs sense they are opposite sexes?

    Pangea's caresheet is excellent.
    They probably have been breeding and females can store sperm for several months. Be sure to check her calcium sacs as laying can take a lot out of the reserves. GL with them. They are a super cute pair. :3

    Yep, check out Pangea's caresheet here: http://www.pangeareptile.com/store/c...-sheet-en.html.

    If they are male and female they will breed and the female is likely gravid. I would recommend keeping them separately unless you really want to breed them. Even then, I would still separate them if the female is currently gravid and has been laying eggs for any amount of time already so that she can have a break. She will retain sperm and continue to lay eggs for 3-6 months after she is separated from the male and will need another 6 months to 1 year to rest after she lays her last clutch, depending on what kind of condition she is in.

    Wow that's crazy that they retain sperm so long! Lucky I have a ton of reptile housing stuff so ill be able to set up another enclosure.

    I picked this stuff up today

    Yup, that's the only CGD to use. I've tried it too, not too bad. I don't think I'd make myself a cereal bowl full or anything, but...:P
