Hi all. Hope you’re well. So Gekster must be over a year now and I’ve just taken new photos. Would anyone be able to confirm the sex? I can’t quite tell if he/she has a bulge or not :)

Thank you. It’s bad on the box it’s says safe to wrap around branches in the enclosure. Glad I checked

Just ordered the heat cable (thank you). Says on the box it can be wrapped around logs inside the enclosure. Do you think this is safe for cresties?

Thanks so much Aliza. Sounds perfect :)

Hi all. Can anyone recommend a good, safe and reasonably priced heating mat for my crested gecko? Already has a heat bulb and normal bulb but still a bit too cold especially at night. Need something better this winter. Also silly question but does the mat go under the glass tank or just under...

Thanks for your reply and the tips. We do the treadmill thing already which she seems to enjoy but she can be so fast running up my arm sometimes that as soon as she’s past me elbow she’s already made it to shoulder then back. Will deffo try making a safe play pen for her :)

we can only hold Gekster when there’s more than one of us as she likes to crawl behind us and sit on our backs. It takes the other one to scoop her off but is there a tip to doing this myself so I can hold her alone? LOL

Thanks Aliza. I can’t see a bulge either lol. Previous owner was adamant Gekster was male. He/she is currently 6/7 months so should be obvious by now if was going to get a bulge?

Hi. I was told Gekster was a male when we bought him a few weeks ago but he looks female to me. Am I missing something? He’s about 7 months old x

Thank you ☺️. I did take him out yesterday. I basically took the vines out he was curled up in and then he was so half asleep he just walked onto my hand after I unwrapped him. But he did then softly squeak for a couple of mins (hope it didn’t distress him) so I put him back and he’s been hiding...

Hi. So it’s been 2 weeks now and Geckster (crestie) will eat fruit of the end of a chop stick (just) but as soon as he’s grabbed it he runs off and then hides from me for another 24 hours (still terrified of me). I’m starting 5o think if I don’t start handling him I never will as the longer I...

Thanks for the advice. Am a bit reluctant to put an item of clothing in there though as paranoid of the chemicals from washing but food for thought :) glad you managed to tame your iguana. I had 2 iguanas which were quite chilled out but crestie is sooo scared of me. Just have to walk into the...

Hi. Hope you fellow gecko lovers are all good. I adopted a 6 month old male crested gecko 10 days ago. He seems happy enough in his large tank, perfect temp and humidity, eating and drinking and pooping fine but…every time I even go near the tank he FREAKS out darts away so quickly and sometimes...
