Hey everyone,

My girlfriend and I just got our first crested gecko from Shadi11 yesterday. We were looking around at a bunch of caresheets just to see the different perspectives on what is required in the enclosure, how often to feed etc. We have the enclosure and everything else figured out pretty well, but we are wanting some other opinions on when it is okay to handle a crestie. Some caresheets say dont handle for the first 2-3 weeks after they hatch, some say wait until they are 2-3 months, and some even say to wait as long as 6 months to a year, or until they are at least 4 inches long.

Our little cresty was born Sep. 20th, and her name is Rusty...but, until she is old enough, we wont really know that she is a she. Shadi said the eggs were all incubated to be female, so we expect that.

(I tried to get some pics, but they are not turning out)
