Couple of odd questions

[maudie]

How similar are Crested and Gargoyle geckos in terms of personality and care?

Are Crested geckos happier housed with other Crested geckos or by themselves?
^ What about Gargoyle geckos?

Pacman frogs: Should they be housed separately? How often/what should you feed them?
Can they be held at all? (I know that they're skin is very fragile)

How much space do each of these animals need?

Does eating mice really negatively affect a tarantulas molt??

THANKS FRIENDS

[StillBP]

only question I can help you with is the packman frogs
They will eat one another so no keep them alone they eat anything smaller than they are

[KMG]

You are all over the place. We have sections for all of these things that would help you and others by placing them in the correct places.

Cresties can be pretty territorial so I keep mine apart. In my experience you can keep two females together if there is enough space.

hence odd. If you're not going to answer the question then don't waste both our time

By asking your "odd" questions about multiple kinds of animals and placing it in the Gen Ball Python section you waste the time of those here to answer questions and those that may have the same question at a later time and search for it in the correct location.

Also having been here a pretty good while now and helping many keepers I know from experience that it is frustrating when you have to pick through a post such as yours and see what you can help with. Then you have to pick through the responses to see what has been said and what needs to be said. This can be frustrating and a waste of time for people that you are asking for free information from.

If you made several post in the correct areas you would find you get better information and leave the information in the proper place for future keepers with the same questions to find and then help them.

What happens with these jumbled post is they get skipped over and you don't get any help at all, or at least not to the degree you could. Im not trying to be rude and please know this is just black and white letters on a screen that is meant to help both you and the forum, not insult or anger you.

Care yes, personality no, Gargoyle are not as laid back and calm they have a lot more personality.

Never house 2 males together but females are fine, now they can be house together but I recommend to wait until they are adults to do so for various reasons. If you house young cresties together one will be bullied and eat less and therefore grown slower, leading to more bulling from the now bigger cagemate. You also want to be careful not to house a male and a female together at too young of an age, if you chose a pair, so you do not end up with an eggbound female, even if you chose to house a male and a female together when they are the right size the female should be given a break (keep in mind that once a male is introduced they can lay egg up to a year or so even after the male has been removed and do so once a month).

^ What about Gargoyle geckos?

Best to be house alone at all time except for breeding.

Pacman frogs: Should they be housed separately? How often/what should you feed them?
Can they be held at all? (I know that they're skin is very fragile)

Definitely better alone, they are so voracious they will not hesitate to eat their cagemate. They can be held just make sure that your hands are very clean and free of soap, fragrance etc.

How much space do each of these animals need?

18 x 18 x 24 for single Crestie or Gargoyle as adults, but something smaller with young individuals so they can find their food easily (ideally a small critter keeper)

Pacmans do well in a 10 gallons tank or 28 quarts tub.

Does eating mice really negatively affect a tarantulas molt??

No idea I do not do inverts

Care for cresteds and gargoyles are pretty much exactly the same. They both love climbing and jumping and tall cages are loved by them and they both love Crested Gecko Diet for food but they have very different personalities.

Cresties are super sweet and laid back and can be housed together as long as there is only one male in the tank. We have our cresties in a medium tall one male with two females and lots of hiding spots and everyday we find that at least two of them are chilling out together. Interesting thing we have noticed is when we dig for eggs in our crestie cage our females will start acting weird and will sprint down to the soil where we are getting their eggs. Not sure if that is a common behavior but thats what ours do.

For gargoyles its best to house all of them seperately because they will scrap with each other and can be nasty to each other from time to time from babies to adults. But we have successfully kept our breeding trio of gargoyles (one male and two females) together in one cage but they are in an exo terra medium extra tall cage (much larger cage than our cresties) with tons and tons of hiding places (so many that we almost never see them out and about in the cage except on a few occasions in the middle of the night) that way they can get away from each other. They still do scrap with each other but its not very often and no one has had a bad injury, just "disagreements" between them. For just starting out with them I highly recommend housing them seperately at first until you get more comfortable with your geckos and you know the sex of your gargoyles.

For both cresties and gargoyles, if you want to breed in the future it never hurts to add more calcium supplements to their CGD (crested gecko diet). All of ours love bananas too as an occasional treat. Again, do not house males together.

If you have any more questions on cresties or gargoyles feel free to message me

You really are all over the place, and I agree with KMG, but everyone else has helped with the Cresties and Frogs, so I'll answer you tarantula question.

No, it will not negatively impact the spider's next shed. Spiders feed by dissolving their food stuffs insides and slurping that up, so it would be no different to feeding it another insect.
