I'll be there also! Looking to pick up another crested and one or two Phelsuma klemmeri. :)

All gorgeous, but Apple and Ducky really caught my eye. Beautiful collection you have!

Your fan idea is probably a good one. Cresties can get stressed or sick if temps are above 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yep, like Dron said, your tank is probably too large for the baby. It's best to keep young cresteds (8 months or younger) in a smaller enclosure like a large-size Kritter Keeper. Sometimes the little ones have a hard time finding the food if the tank is too big.

Just read caresheets and make sure you have all the proper elements before you bring the gecko home. Make sure your viv has lots of plant cover; real or artificial doesn't matter, as long as there is plenty for the gecko to climb on and hide in. :)

I love Empire! Great spotty babies.

I don't know about the sea sponges, but live plants are a good way to hold humidity if you wanted to add some to your viv.

Such a funny pic! She looks like she's saying, "What are YOU doing here?" to her reflection. :)

Yes, lots of people keep a single crested in an 12x12x18. Many prefer the 18x18x24 though, for extra space.

Cute! He looks just like my crested.

Heh, another metalface here. I have quite a few pics with the septum peeking out from inside, too. ;) Scuttles is a very cute boy! I like the picture of him relaxing on the cardboard tube; he looks like he's stretched out getting a suntan. :p

Cute gecko. If you didn't think you'd enjoy geckos this much, wait until the urge to get another strikes! I promise it won't be long... ;)

Not sure about the first one, but the second is a harlequin with dalmatian spotting.

Like fuzzylogix said, Crested Gecko Diet in a bottle top is the way to go. They will readily accept crickets, but it's best not to feed crickets too often, or your geckos might start refusing their CGD in favor of the crickets. I only feed crickets once a week or so.

It could be they have a favorite spot, and you just don't see them being active at night, so they return to that spot in the morning. Do they have plenty of coverage, branches to climb on and hide spots?
