    Getting back into cresties

    Love these little guys so much!! Originally I wanted a black and cream or red and cream, but saw this girl at our local expo yesterday. Caught my heart! She is 6g. First 3 photos I believe she is fired up. The ones afterwards are fired down



    This is her house. I like simple! She will expand to a taller tub as she grows. The temp is a constant 75 degrees. Daytime humidity is 60%-65%, and a spritz towards night brings it up to 85% that gets back to normal by morning.



    This is her staple food that I've chosen. Hopefully she enjoys the flavor - have heard it's popular. Not sure yet if I want to supplement with insects

    Females: 0.1 fire; 0.1 sugar; 0.1 GHI; 0.1 pinstripe het desert ghost; 0.1 mojave spider; 0.2 mojave; 0.1 black pewter blast; 0.1 leopard pied; 0.1 champagne; 0.1 pied; 0.1 super pastel lesser; 0.1 pewter; 0.1 spider het pied, 0.1 bumblebee; 0.1 lesser; 0.1 spider; 0.1 normal; 0.3 het pied
    Males: 1.0 het desert ghost; 1.0 pastel pied; 1.0 leopard; 1.0 black pastel; 1.0 enchi; 1.0 mojave; 1.0 cinnamon; 1.0 pied; 1.0 vanilla

    Other species: 1.0.3 pacman frogs (sunkissed, super apricot, super blue, super lime green); 0.2 crested gecko; 1.0 hypo hog island boa; 0.1 normal boa; 1.0 rottweiler; 1.0 chihuahua

    Congrats on your new baby! My geckos (currently down to 7) all eat the Pangea Fruit Mix Complete, but they seemed to like the other flavor better!

    Also, 84 is a bit too warm for cresties. I've had some friends lose geckos if the temps got over 80F. I keep mine as close to 72F as possible, which is a comfortable room temp for me too.

    I think maybe there was a bit of misscommunication "The temp is a constant 75 degrees. Daytime humidity is 60%-65%, and a spritz towards night brings it up to 85% that gets back to normal by morning. "

    Thanks . I bought it as a hygrometer, with additional temp reading. But mainly for humidity so I think that's why they have that in the largest numbers

    Yeah I have something similar but temp is the big reading on mine, so that is part of why it threw me off!
