Picture/Video Something to be worried about?

My girl did a weird thing today while I was offering water. My worrying brain is trying to make sure it's not something to be worried about. The water was just dripping, I wasn't spraying her in the face.

Help/Advice Small alternative to crickets and mealworms ? (Dune/viper gecko or another idk yet)

2 Upvotes

I'm really scared of insects, and I'm thinking about having a small gecko who eats insects to help me with my fear. I'm interested in viper geckos or dune geckos and I see people feeding them small crickets or small mealworms but from what I understand, they are both babies... small crickets become big crickets, and mealworms become some sort of black ugly insects and I don't like that I can't buy them every week/month because I don't have any store near me, and online the shipping is expensive, so I would have to breed them.

Can't I give them other food? I've read that fruit flies are good only for babies, but maybe there are bigger flies or something?

It's hard to find information on Google since they just say to give them crickets

Help/Advice Help gecko with debris stuck to his foot

2 Upvotes

Hi, I hope it's an ok post to make but there's this little guy that's basically living in my house for a while now, but he doesn't seem really good at it because the first time I had to help him get a hair out of his mouth, and today he appeared again in my bathroom with some dust stuck to its foot, specifically around two of his posterior toes.

Do you guys know any way I could help him loosen it up a bit? It's clear he is having issues climbing, I feel quite bad seeing him like this...

Thank you in advance!

P.S. he's like.. really small. No bigger than 5 cm at best, and has already lost the tail first time I saw him.

hello! i am a first time crested gecko owner to this little guy rocky. i just got him less than a month ago and worried that he is a bit thin? i have seen him eat almost every other day, and poop multiple times. i have him on the repashy grubs and fruit and offer him mini dubia roaches which he has only eaten once. he is housed in a 24x18x36 enclosure and i put his food in tiny bottle caps. when he is fully stretched out i find that he looks a bit thin, any input helps!
