You gotta be more specific, lol...what kind of tips do you need...? I currently have 15 cresties, mine laid eggs...and now that they're growing I need to find some new homes, lol.

Well, firstly, my lil girl is eating well and is healthy, but she never climbs the walls of her tank. I made sure the walls were clean and she hadn't shed, but she still never climbs, she also prefers her bottom hides instead of the climbing hides...is this just a personal preference or is something wrong?
Also, Ekko loves watermelon more than she does anything else, is this a good fruit or no?
Finally...she's grown so accustomed to me (bc of me being the person she sees everyday and dotes her with my love) that anytime anyone else will pick her up, she'll bite them and jump over to me. Is there any way I could get her used to others? Or is she just like me? (only likes certain people)

What kind of food do you give her on a Β regular basis? And how often do you feed her? Can you see ribs? Β It's not normal at all that she's not climbing :/. Β You should ONLY be feeding her Pangea, or Repashy (Pangea is better though) . If you want to give actual watermelon as a treat...make sure it's not often, and that it's an extremely small size...lizards can choke on stuff. You can order Pangea here (I recommend this bug mix...it has fruit in it too), if you don't have this, drop everything you're doing and buy it now. Here's a link to the smaller bag, I'd get the larger one for $19.99 though, it will last you forever for one gecko. Β -->Β www.amazon.com/Pangea-Fruit-Inβ¦
You really need to do some online research right away, because there could be something very wrong with your gecko if you're not feeding the proper diet. These geckos are easy to care for but they do have very specific needs. Check out this site and read everything you can, this is a really great site that you can't go wrong with -->Β jbscresties.com/basiccare.html
I'm not sure why your crested gecko is biting people, none of mine bite me unless they are starving and they think I'm a bug. Sometimes mine will do this if they don't realize I'm a human and they are due to be fed. Your gecko is likely starving if it's acting too calm, and not climbing...which wouldn't surprise me if you aren't feeding it EXACTLY what it needs (Pangea!!!). No offense, but please get on this, lizards don't express how they feel like dogs or cats...and if something isn't right it may be too late already

Greetings! Reaching out to owners of these fantastic lizards and asking that wonderful question: Whom did you get your gecko from?

he's so cute!!! I wish mine had his crests more pronounced like that. how old is he in this picture?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm told by the previous owners he's 5 months, but comparing with others he might be even older.

Awww, such beautiful markings
I think the photo could use a tad more contrast, but otherwise it's great

Kinda. They don't really come out until I turn the lights out, when I can see them! But I can hear them. With the TV on there's just enough light for me to see and they don't hide again, so I just had to focus as best I could and use flash. Because of the lighting angle, higher contrast makes the shadows too harsh.

You should get a night light for them =] they come in blue and red, and the reptiles eyes can't detect them so it doesn't disturb their nocturnal habits. But they come in handy for us!

these are calm and dont bite right? i was thinking about getting one.

I'm still new to this, no bites so far. If they don't like something they can jump and run.

They shouldn't ever bite... unless you have food smell on you

Terrific shot! Is the little one actually tame?

Kinda, by nature they like to hide, but they're fairly chilled about being handled.
