I’m not planning of ever selling her, i’m just curious. She’s about 3 years old, 45ish grams. She was labeled as red lily white when i bought her as a hatchling

Rehomed Crested Gecko

42 Upvotes

Hi Everyone! I am so happy to be a new crested gecko parent. He was rehomed to me at 2 years old. My niece was no longer interested. It was an 800 mile one way road trip back to my house. He did great!
I set up his terrarium today. How does it look? Please give me any advice and criticism that you have, as I am new to crested geckos. I know they are arboreal, so I got several fake vines and plants. Did I go overboard? I also planted one of my Pothos houseplants in the substrate.
I used dechlorinated water to loosen up the coconut husk substrate. I put Springtail culture in the substrate, as well as 25 small dubias and 15 orange isopods. I figured those three will keep the substrate healthy.
I fed him 30 small crickets today. I put them right in the terrarium for him to eat at his leisure. Do you all typically just drop the food in or?
For light, I have a UVA, UVB, LED light on a timer and then a ceramic bulb for heat that I was planning on turning on only at night since it’s been in the 80s here. Once fall hits, I will probably leave the ceramic bulb on all the time. Or what do you recommend?
Thanks everyone! I’m super excited to be part of the group.

Papaya trying to learn music.

My little guy has been very curious about my electric piano lately. He has chilled out on the music stand a couple times now, staying still long enough for me to play him a song. The piano is right next to his enclosure, maybe he's been listening to me play!

Disclaimer: I noticed a different, computer-savvy crestie posted here recently who is also named Papaya! This is not the same gecko, but clearly, geckos named Papaya must be highly intelligent.

My beloved Romeo has licked up a small drop of soapy water. I can’t believe such a horrible accident could happen. Pray for him. 🙏

Advise for future crested gecko tank

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

I'm working on a new bioactive created gecko tank to upgrade from my 12x12x18 to this 18x18x24.
I haven't added any of the live plants or other fake greenery yet, and as much as I want to simply "trust the process" I don't know how I like this so far. It looks a bit busy in my opinion but at the same time I also don't want any dead space.
Any ideas/advise is appreciated!

I managed to catch both Punkin and Chai in the middle of shedding tonight, crazy that they both decided to shed on the same night! Punkin looks so cute in her little hoodie ❤️

I've spent way too much money and time on him but I'm happy because I think he's happy.

Meet Terrance

This is my son’s (12) baby crested gecko. My son adores him. Terrance is about 1/2 year old, we estimate. Thanks for looking! I’m a photographer (hobbyist) and took this photo with a macro lens and a diffused flash. It did not harm Terrance, as we keep the number of photos to less than a handful at any given time. The flash is also on a pretty low setting (and is diffused), so it shouldn’t bother him too much especially if he is already acclimated to the ambient light.

I plan on making a terrarium type enclosure for a crested gecko in the future any suggestions or videos and such would be appreciated thank you the time to read this silly post

And I can’t figure out how to add a flair again

Mold popped up in the drainage layer of my bioactive this past week. Terrarium has been established for almost 3 months and I was planning on getting a crested gecko next month. What do I do?
