I'm more of a leopard gecko person but I do have a crestie who is a doll. I got him back on February 18th at 8g, he's now up to 30.7g Is his growth rate ok? It seems slow but all I have to compared to are leopards and they can grow crazy fast soo...Just figured I'd check is all. He's not fulled sized yet which I've read can take a 1-1 1/2 years. His tail isn't super fat obviously but it's pretty dense and thickfor a crestie(I've heard they can sometimes store a small amount of fat in their tails?). He eats repashy now but he's gone through phases of fat gecko. I want to get him pangea at the next expo(he was a bit fussy over his food for awhile there). I do feed him the occasional meal worm, I use it to bribe him into coming out of his tank on his own with them Otherwise he's very healthy, active, and overall pretty fearless. He's kept at a 76-78F with a planted terrarium(the floor is covered in moss so no worries he can't get at the substrate!) I live in New England so having it planted was one of the better way I found of keeping his humidity up and stable, plus he loves his snake plants. Thanks for your time!
