Got my first gecko!

My sister and I set up a table at the Iowa Herp Show and across the aisle from us was a crested gecko table. They had several out all day for people to play with and fell in love. So... here I am with a male dalmatian crested gecko!

At the show

Fed him banana baby food, I'm going to feed him mashed bananas next time

Very nice! Crestie's are the best.

Awwwww. :)

I'd ask Em about the banana thing though - I seem to remember something about them and calcium deficiency?

I was just feeding him the banana stuff for fun/a snack. I have some sort of powder that you mix with water that I feed him. I forget what it's called, but the breeder gave me a bag.

My sister came over to visit all the critters and I put Creature on her head

He's so cute! He has calmed down really fast, he pretty much stays wherever you put him now

Love their eyelashes!! :-) Congrats!

He is too cute. My husband gave me the okay to get one! In still deciding on it though but yours is so cute!

I like the idea of randomly resing reptiles on visitors. :rofl:

Yay! I decided to get an adult because I really didn't know what I was doing, but the breeder said they were super easy to care for either way. I kind of want to get a trio! :)

Lol me too! I plopped him on her head and she goes "oh, ok..." :rofl:

I want an adult too cause I want a calm one I can snuggle. I've heard they're easy to care for and they are just so soft! What kind of setup do you have him in? I love his damnation spots

Dalmatian....sorry. Auto correct.

Yeah def! They are tiny when they are babies! I'm not sure how old he is but I don't think he's quite full grown, I guess I will find out! They are really soft, and so far really easy to care for!

I saw the tub set up sticky on here so I decided to go with that. I need to put more plants in it, and the water bottle is hot water, I've been putting it in there every night. Our house is chilly at night right now, we haven't turned on our furnace yet. You have to be really careful not to let the temps get over 82 (if I'm remembering the exact temp right). I guess they overheat really easily and I'm scared to put a light or a UTH on him. Not getting him too hot works out for us since we also have chinchillas and a saltwater tank that don't do well over 80 degrees.

The tub set up is really fun because the mesh screen is so small you don't really notice it and it looks like an open tub!
