    Re: Crested Gecko, help please!

    I started him in a critter keeper for a while with hand misting while I got an auto mister (set up for the crestie and my husband's giant day gecko) for a bioactive planted 18"×18"×24" exo terra. I moved him in after a month or so when I was sure he was eating and pooping normally and didnt have any issues.

    Even as a baby I've seen no issue with him finding his food in such a large tank (although I always replace it late evening when he is active and it smells strongest and positioned his food by one of his most frequented vines to make sure he can get to it easily)

    This is an old tank picture, since I don't have a recent one that has a full view. The plants have filled in a lot and we swapped his food to the right side. Don't mind the humidity, it had just misted and spiked up.


    (Why do all my pictures flip on their side?? They show normal in the previews....)
    your enclosure is beautiful. what's that thing on the side? the bowl-looking thing that's sticking out? is that like a hide? i like it!
