hello! im looking for advice on how i might make my crested geckos enclosure better. im already planning to get a uvb bulb today, but aside from that id love to hear if anyone has any tips

I work at a pet store and we have an African fat tail gecko that is extremely sensitive to heat lamps and uvb. He is 50% off in store but I can see if my manager is willing to take more off. If you are in the RI/MA/CT area and want to take this guy, let me know. I’d also be willing to overnight ship him if I need to. He’s friendly for a fat tail and only bites if you’re trying to get shed off of him and he loves critical care for some reason. He came with his brother but unfortunately the vet decided euthanasia was the best option. He’d make a great pet for someone who is experienced with reptiles. I know this goes against the guidelines but I just don’t want this guy to sit here while he’s obviously not thriving or someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing and ends up hurting him more.

My year old Male Chahoua has been such a joy since we brought him home this summer! He spends most of his days inside his cork rounds, and his evenings exploring and hunting all over the place!

I have only ever had frogs but always wanted somebody more holdable. I just got this darling gargoyle gecko today after doing tons of research on getting my first reptile. He is a year and a half old. I got him from a local small reptile store and bought his tank, food, etc there too.

I put all the wood things in the freezer, got the substrate ready, cleaned out the water dish the lady said I didn’t need but I felt it would be weird if I didn’t have. I opened the tank to set it up, and there’s a big crack in the corner. Well now I’m rather irritated with myself wondering why I didn’t think to buy everything to set up before I got him just in case. But no biggie, I’ll just have to mist more often, put paper towels and decor in and add substrate to a new tank once he gets comfortable here.

I put all the decorative things i bought at the store in and about 15 minutes later I hear a THUMP and almost shit my pants. This big ass 3d printed shelf mushroom has fallen on the floor of the tank. Thank god he didn’t get hit by it. Poor guy is probably traumatized now. I am going to leave it there in case he wants to hide under it plus I don’t want to scare him with my arms.

Does anyone have recommendations for good climbing decor that’s actually sturdy? Do you think I should get a new tank right away in case it is possible for him to cut himself? I put some duct tape over the crack so unless he likes to chew on duct tape it should be ok. This feels like a disaster and I wanted him to get to feel safe when he got here.

I have a planted 10gal with nobody in it right now- I was rehabilitating a small native tree frog in it a while ago. I could put him there instead for the meantime.

Just picked up this male from a Morph Market Auction. My first leachie!! Any name suggestions?

Me and my boyfriend just got them but have no idea of their age, gender or sub-species. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated as we wanna try to get them a mate down the line.

(Apologies for the bad-ish photos it was hard to get them with her being so skittish)

I came across this gecko on my guest house!!!
Wondering about the tail segment & nails??

Loc : South India

EDIT: purtroppo il gechino è morto poco dopo aver fatto questo post. Ho potuto notare che aveva un accumulo di feci e urine non espulse nella cloaca e forse anche un parassita (sembrava un vermino piatto lungo poco più di 1cm).

Buongiorno! Tre giorni fa ho trovato nel mio laboratorio questo geco. È un po' secco, apatico e presenta un'incrostazione sotto la coda (o almeno è quello che vedono i miei occhi inesperti). Non scappa da me, e riesce a bere un po' d'acqua data con un fazzoletto. A muoversi si muove, ma molto poco. Secondo voi ci sono speranze di rimetterlo in sesto? Quella "crosta" sotto la cloaca non mi piace per niente, potrebbe avere un'occlusione in corso e forse è per questo che si sta lentamente sciupando. Consigli?

I recently purchased a beautiful tokay on Morph Market from a HIGHLY reputable seller. Long story short, they sold my gecko, left the listing up (listing is still up?) and then sold it again to me. I received the gecko and after letting them settle a few days, was able to get a good look at them. Two things; I purchased a listed female, this is looking suss; this is not the gecko I purchased and I'm wondering if they will lighten up with age? Or darken? Male, or Female? I have a lot of experience with new cals, this is my first tokay! Do please be kind 🙏🏽

I'm low key convinced my chameleon gecko is a dinosaur. Look at those pupils! eurydactylodes vieillardi

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.

GUYS HELP PLEASE my dad is picking up a gargoyle gecko with me tomorrow for free on craigslist we have one those half circle arboreal tanks i told him if it shows any type of stress im gonna buy it a bjggeer enclosure and put it in my room but i have no idea on anything about gargoyle geckos so if anyone wants to info dump or rant abt their care that would be so awesome or just yk letting me know on some basic care or tips

It says measurements in this pic idk if its big enough lmk but google says its too narrow :/ dont mind the other text besides measurement this from a post awhile back

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

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!

Pics 1-3 are one gecko, 4-6 another. Ive had conflicting info! Both Chahouas, 14 months old roughly and 45g each Thank you for the help!
