My second crested gecko is finally out of quarantine, but I'm now accustomed to having a gecko around my desk, so I opted to set up a bit smaller footprint tank by my desk instead of set up by the other crestie in the living room (and now we have a spare 18x18x24 tank out there... might have to find something else for that next year)
We got "him" a few months ago as a few month old gecko. He's significantly jumpier when handled than our other (who I sometimes question if she is aware of how to jump since she only jumps if it is just barely beyond walking distance & she really wants to go there; no death leaps), but this boy is a very predictable jumper... straight forward whichever way he is facing if there is anything within 3 feet of him.
A few pics of when we got him:
We recycled some wood and plants from our giant day gecko's juvie tank to use, so the grape wood is well seasoned and we have a solid springtail/dwarf white isopod clea up crew we seeded this tank with.
Using a 12"×12"×24" exo terra (small x-tall) tank, 2 different colored pothos vines, and a plant I forgot the name of. We've got a few more decor pieces coming and might add more pothos to fill in the space later.
I've yet to really settle on a name for him, so if you have any suggestions, let me know!
A few funny positions I've spotted him in already after he got moved in yesterday.
And an overview of the tank itself.
Pretty sure he's a tiger, possibly dalmatian (as he's grown, I'm seeing more black spots, though I'm not sure how much is needed to qualify as one).
