You need to take your gecko to a vet. When you do, ask the vet to test for cryptosporidiosis. It's a serious disease, and I"m not saying that your gecko has it, but you need to make sure that it doesn't. How long have you had your gecko and where did you get it from? Aliza

Best bet would be to ask Arcadia. They're really good about sharing info. I know current practice is to use UVB with leopard geckos but I generally don't (too many stacked cages) and they do fine for me with appropriate D3 supplementation. Aliza

Female. When crested geckos are male it's REALLY apparent. Aliza

Looking forward to see what you come up with. Aliza

She may have a bit of shed stuck under her eyelid. Try this: get a drop of water on your finger (you can do this by dipping your finger in some cool water). Let the drop fall into her closed eye. Usually she will open it. Look for a tiny edge of shed. If you find it, you can remove it with...

Good luck. Have a good trip. Aliza

Get a plastic tub for her. Let her be in the tub when you're traveling but don't put any furniture in it so she won't get injured. when you arrive, get some feeders from the pet store and feed her. Put her furniture back in the tub when you're at a destination. Make sure she can't get out...

I've never seen any isopods in the "wild" that were anything but charcoal gray. Aliza

I got some dairy cow isopods from someone in exchange for some cages I gave her and they are now in nearly all my planted cages. You just need a few and then they'll fill the space, Aliza

i'm assuming this is a leopard gecko, though the body shape and the markings make me thing African fat tail gecko. Either way, it's an albino. Aliza

Isopods are kind of cool but not essential. Somehow those little tiny white bugs whose name escapes me appear on their own. Aliza

I think live plants are best because it helps preserve humidity and it's cool having a "living" environment. I use mostly pothos and use some fake vines to give it something to climb up. One of my crested geckos wraps himself up in the leaves sometimes when he sleeps. Aliza

I hope you're using Crested Gecko Diet (CGD) as well, since it has other additives that can be nutritionally useful. How about mango? Consider looking at the different flavors of different CGD brands and trying fresh fruit versions of their fruit flavors? Aliza

I have both and don't think I can decide in terms of what I like best. I do find most of my crested geckos more entertaining than most of my leopard geckos. Here are some things that may help you make a decision: --if you don't want to deal with heat, get a crested gecko --If you want a tall...

Your league should have a great time in there! Aliza
