    Lilly turns 4

    She's still little and poops in my hand every time i take her out. Once calm, she enjoys life outside her vivarium.

    Gecko Vivarium: Lid?

    Huh? The loss of humidity due to a screen acting as a lid, is minimal to almost none. I've been using the screen and glass method for over 3 yrs. The humidity levels never drop below 75. If you buy a fogger and set it up using a timer to come on a couple times a day, use real plants and...

    Gecko Vivarium: Lid?

    Screen works just fine. With live plants and a daily fogging, you should have no problem keeping humidity at comfortable levels.

    How Often

    adam&nikki It's been said a 100 times before, cresties are better off eating CGD . Crickets are fine too but more for my entertainment. Otherwise I find crickets to be a pain in the ass. Baby food and supplements are more work and more expensive and offer little of the essential nutrients your...

    Baby food may be working!

    Quit feeding your leopard gecko baby food. you would get diarrhea if that's all you ate too. Stick with what is proven to work, have paitence. Chicken??? why would you do that? Insects are the only way to go. They're plenty of threads on here that will guide you in the right direction. Stick...

    Live Plants in a Terrarium?

    Oooh, i never thought of that before, less the black millipede. How many earthworms woudl you say you have in there? Also in there for 3 years? Interesting, makes sense. Ive got a layer of those special drainage pebbles, then mesh, then soil, then moss. I had the issue before about drainage...

    Live Plants in a Terrarium?

    Lights arent necessary. Room temp is fine. Humidity is most important. Even a UV light will create heat. You dont want to overheat your Cresteds. My Viv is close to the window, and i use plants that dont require lots of UV. My windows face north, thats enough UV to keep the plants growing. Love...

    Feeding crickets in terrarium with Crested Gecko's

    I had no problem feeding them in a viv either except when they miss the cricket they were trying to eat and instead injest soil or moss. Not a good thing.

    Water for the cresite

    pebbles, mesh, soil and moss or coconut fibre should help with that. (search vivariums) I had issues with mold because it was too wet before, now i have no issues at all. It's dry where i live and as suggested from previous posts in this thread, I mist in the morning and the evening, a little...
