That is excellent! My guy loves his mushroom ledge too. :D

I don't believe you mentioned what kind of enclosure these tiny babies are in? That can influence their appetite as an enclosure too large can cause them to not eat very well. Though it sounds to me they are hooked on crickets and just being stubborn. Excellent advice has been given. You can try...

I agree with the above. It's looking good, now I would start concentrating on adding a large amount of plants. So covering the back wall and some wide leafed standing plants which Cresties enjoy sitting on. My guy also loves vines to walk along.

Aww, what an adorable little fellow.

Squee! So adorable and already looking gorgeous. :)

Congrats! I love Crested Geckos; lower maintenance care and their personality. Make sure to share pictures when your crestie arrives. :)

I was doing a deep clean in my crestie's terrarium today. Apparently I need to be supervised to make sure I don't miss any spots. I was scrubbing some of his plants on the floor below his terrarium and I look up to see this... - Taji was sitting on the door frame watching me. I even...

Thank you! Rats are such intelligent and rewarding pets, many people have no idea. Good to see some rattie fans here! :D

Calcium + D3; I use Repashy Calcium Plus. I would think Vitamin D3 insufficiency is more of a problem than the possibility of overdosing.

The stooges consist of three lazy male rats... Zee is the boss in the cage, he is 2 years old and a Dumbo mismarked Siamese; he is more serious and shy but has his goofy moments. Bear is next in command and Zee's best pal. He is a 1 year old mismarked black and white hooded. Bear is...

That is a good point. The climate in Florida has made it possible for the species in the ban to not only survive on their own, but thrive enough to be a real problem for native wildlife and the ecosystem.

Won't this bill only hurt the responsible owners because they will be forced to give up their snakes? Irresponsible owners will either A) Not give a damn about it being illegal, thus the ban won't help or B) They will release them because it's easy, thus the ban still won't help.

AVMA's opinion greatly differs. Hmmm....

All the calcium a crestie needs will be in the Crested Gecko Diet formula. It's important to dust any insects with a calcium powder though and also keep in mind this is a species that is sensitive to excessive amounts of Vitamin D. My crestie gets 5 crickets once a week dusted in phosphorous...

One table spoon of powder for an adult is good. Many times there will still be CGD (Crested Gecko Diet) in the cup when you go to replace it. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell if they are eating (other times there will be tongue marks). However, if there are feces in the enclosure then you...
