CG arrival
I ordered my first crested and it came in the mail this morning. I ordered from Garrick at www.crestedgecko.com. He's really good to work with...i didn't get his cage set up until wednesday night and I called him that night to see if he could put it in the mail the next day so I would receive it today (because today was the only day I could be home to get it). Although it was very short notice everything worked out great.

That's him...taken off Garrick's website.
A few questions...
1) I'm sure he's quite stressed after the journey so how long should I let him acclimate to his surroundings before attempting to handle him? How long should I wait til I feed him?
And any other comments/suggestions are always welcomed!

Re: CG arrival
Congrats! Looks like Mle answered your questions so I'll just second what she said, and say I hope you're having fun with him.

Re: CG arrival
i fed him crix tonite for the first time. it's enjoyable watching him hunt them down. a quick question...
I didn't "dip" the crix in a calcium supplement before feeding him because I'm also feeding him the T-rex diet (which i think contains a fair amount of calcium already).
Do you guys think I should buy some calcium powder to dust the crix with? if so...what are some good brands?
thanks

Re: CG arrival
REP-CAL CALCIUM W/ D3 and HERPTIVITE are the supplements I use.

Re: CG arrival
Its important to keep the Calcium-Phosphorus Ratio in check and the calcium in the t-Rex diet is balanced for the diet not for the added feeder insects so you will need to dust them before feeding at least every second feeding of the bugs
I also use the REP-CAL CALCIUM W/ D3 and HERPTIVITE I m not sure if they still have the regular grade any more but I buy the ultra fine powder .. it sticks to whatever your feeding much better
