My crested gecko is always in the same spot in her tank, she hardly moves and she hardly looks like she eats anything.

This was something I applied this year to my Crestie. Here in Wisconsin we definitely need supplemental heat in the winter.

I started using the 25 watt Nano ceramic heat emitters by Zoo Med on my cresties 18×18×24 terrariums, and even tho the Nano bulbs are "meant" for 10 gallons or smaller, I've found them to be perfect for what I need! It gets too cold here in the winter, and the Nano bulbs on a thermostat have created this lovely temperature gradient and really taken the chill out of the terrariums. Definitely recommend to crestie owners!

I run a Zoo Med Nano 25W basking bulb at the top of mine to give a small basking temp area of 28 C, as the spread is small and narrow it soon cools to give a temp of 25/26 either at the top of the tank. This was recommended to me and I am aware you do not want to expose them to too high a temp as they can stress. My tank is a 40 x 40 x 80 with a 15w jungle dawn and shade dweller so lots of room to get away from the heat if the animal wants to.

If you are based in the uk swell reptile and global geckos are good places, and there are some good pets at homes which I would be comfortable buying from ( I got my from a good pets at home). But if you do buy from pets at home make sure you do go to a good one as from what I have heard there are some bad ones. Leopard gecko got her’s as a rescue/rehoming situation I think. If you are based in the US I think you could go to josh’s frogs I think have crested geckos. And then for anywhere you could try adoption, local reptile shop, reptile expo(not many in the uk and with Covid this option probably won’t work) or just a local breeder. Really hoped this helped.

What kind of thermostat do you prefer?

One of my cresties is a total weirdo. I noticed, after I moved her to her big tank, that she slept in her suction cup that the food cup goes into (at that time she was still small enough to squeeze her whole body in). She started doing that everytime there was an off day inbetween w/o feeding and the suction cup was empty. I felt bad taking her sleeping spot from her everytime I put the food cup in, so I ended up putting a second cup in there just for her to sleep in 😆. She's now way too big but she will always have one part of her body in the cup, sometimes she'll be sticking to the glass and just hanging her head in there and propping her two little feets in there as well. She has so many freaking hides in her tank. I'm partially butthurt because I put so much effort into building this setup, I built the entire tank from scratch (I mean, I made the actual tank itself to my specifications) and of course made a backdrop, so I was able to put 3 cork rounds in there that she could choose from and I also put her little coconut in there after I moved her, because she had always slept in that and I wanted her to have something familiar in the new tank to ease the transition somewhat. So yeah, she has 4 hides plus plants in there and chooses to sleep right on the front glass in her beloved suction cup. Such an oddball. She really has a personality. Everytime I talk to her she tilts her head around like a cat or dog, it's so strange. Sadly, I'll have to rehome all of my animals at some point this year though because we are moving back to germany and I'm just not going to do that to them. It breaks my heart to let them go, but I just couldn't send them over, if something were to happen I'd never forgive myself. My babies 😭 I'm trying to see the silver lining, at least I have ample time to be very selective with the homes they will go to. Best bet I am quizzing prospective buyers before I would ever sell. I just... I haven't been able to make the ads yet. It's killing me.

My crested gecko that I brought home a week ago from a previous owner hasn’t been eating, and I monitor his poop and don’t see any. How long does it typically take them to eat when moving to a new home? (I feed him the same food he’s been use to btw)

Hey Leopard Gecko, where can I get the magnetic food bowls that you have? I’ve looked at places and have had a few but most end up either falling or can’t handle weight.

The first day I got my gecko I put like this dirt it wasn’t like Little Rock’s it was just like fertilizer (but it wasn’t fertilizer) idk if that makes sense😂 but when I would feed my gecko she would get some of the bedding in her mouth. So I switched to paper towel but idk if that’s good or bad. Also I need to ask you where do you get your stuff at?😂 I love your setup it’s like my dream setup for my gecko! I’m sorry to say but I have one more question. Can you change your setup? Because my parents tell me that I can’t change the geckos tank and I want to change it so bad!

He's pretty active at night and I often hear him splatting and thumping around his viv...I'm concerned he's a very picky eater though.

I have a bio active enclosure. The isopods don't escape. If they do its very rare. I would recommend having a clean up crew. It leaves your enclosure much tidier. They clean all the mold and poop so you don't have to worry about cleaning that. I love springtails.

Yeah I've never had them escape, however I imagine if they did they wouldn't last long as they need quite high humidity to survive :)

Is the ZooMed skyscraper 18x18x36 a good terrarium for cresties? I'm going to do a first-time reptile owner in the next couple of years and I'm gathering my supplies and this looks like a great size enclosure but I'm not sure of the quality because there are no reviews.

It’s great! Just make sure you fill it with plenty of foliage.

Thank you so much! I’m planning to fill it up with naturalistic clutter and decor! I was just asking to make sure it’s stable because I hear about exo terra and zilla a lot more than zoo med!

Wow

I struggle with my crested gecko biting a lot. Though I can’t figure out if it’s cause he’s angry, stressed or just ✨excited✨ It only happens some of the time, all other times he seems very happy and healthy and is not afraid of humans whatsoever...

Yo. this isn’t related to the video but my teacher has 2 (class pet) leopard geckos in the same tank and I’ve been telling her to separate them, but she won’t. Do you have any tips?

You can't tell how old it is exactly. You can only tell if its a bsby juvenile or adult by it's size.

Simply start picking them up. You can start slow, maybe use tongs first, then pick up one or two with your hand for short periods of time. You will get used to it soon enough, it really isn’t that bad.
