My geckos always fall off the glass when I mist. Will he drink when you're misting the cage? Most of my crested geckos and gargoyle geckos enjoy drinking the drops that end up in the plants or on the glass. If you really feel that your gecko is getting skinnier you could consider a vet visit...

Welcome to your new gecko! Aliza

Looks like an intriguing environment. Aliza

Welcome. Show some pictures when you have them. Aliza

If you can get Pangea where you are try one of the flavors that has insects mixed in. There a fig and insect flavor that may be good. Put some on her lips and hopefully she'll lick it off. Aliza

I recommend just misting the cage and letting the humidity do its job. He doesn't need a bath. Aliza

It's harder to tell with cresties and gargs because they have the fired up/down aspect that leopard geckos don't have. One advantage of having a lot of geckos is that I don't worry so much about shedding or most other issues until I notice something. I get to check everyone over on feeding...

It's very usual for them not to eat at first and also for juveniles to hide most of the time. Hopefully you'll start seeing poops within a few weeks. Aliza

Hopefully he's drinking the droplets when you mist as well. Aliza

Sometimes your gecko can shed overnight and you'll never know. Other times the gecko gets frosty and you can sometimes catch it mid-shed. Just keep an eye on the tail tip and feet and if you see bits of shed hanging there, peel them off. Aliza

That's a lot of different kinds of calcium. The Repashy pictured there is an all-in-one. Otherwise just pick something that has D3, something that doesn't and keep to your idea of D3 every month or so and Calcium without D3 every other feeding. Aliza

I would use the plain calcium every other feeding. Reptiles can get over-calciumed. Aliza

There's more than 1 way to do it. This is what I do: I use Pangea Calcium plus which contains everything the gecko needs including vitamin A in a form that they can digest. I feed my geckos twice a week and one of those times I dust the feeders with the supplement. Aliza

It looks to me as if it's a planted enclosure, or at least one with a soil-type substrate. I don't see how you would know for sure whether or not the gecko has pooped because I don't think you'd necessarily find all of them. I have 4 crested geckos and 8 gargoyle geckos and I have never seen a...

Consider either making a true false bottom to drain your substrate better: a few inches of hydroton clay balls, a piece of vinyl screen mesh to cover the footprint of the tank, then coco fiber without any gardening soil. Here's a much easier solution: Check out Josh's frogs tropical bio bedding...
