No, I think they're too small. It's really a drag but it got me out of breeding which was actually a blessing in disguise even though I didn't know it at the time. Aliza

Crypto is an abdominal protozoa that breeds in the gecko's gut. The gecko sheds eggs from them in its poop which makes it really contagious. My geckos got it from a gecko that I bought and quarantined. I should have had every new gecko I got tested for crypto but there's nothing I can do now...

The only geckos I've had die looking like they were starved were geckos who had cryptosporidiosis. It leads to anorexia, diarrhea and death. My entire population has crypto since 2017. It's been over a year since anyone had a flareup and the youngest is 9 years old. I just have to stay...

I think you have 3 choices: keep putting food on her nose keep offering food and let her do what she's going to do make a vet appointment As I've mentioned before, I have enough geckos so I'm not worrying about how much they're eating. Some are fatter and some are skinnier but they all seem...

It could be. Most of my geckos are eating very little at this time of the year and I tend to feed them in the late evening. Aliza

Yes, vitamin D is fine if it doesn't have UV. Glad it wasn't $300. For that much they should have given you a care sheet! Good luck with the gecko. Aliza

Happy birthday to Dusty. Aliza

Welcome! Do you have geckos or are you thinking about it? Aliza

Nice looking geckos. They are pinstripes due to the white markings down the body but I don't know what else. Aliza

welcome to gecko keeping. I think it's likely that it's a fan footed gecko, though I have never kept that species. Here's a care sheet I found by doing a search: https://reptiledirect.com/fan-footed-gecko-care-sheet/ Your best bet is to do a search (feel free to use duckduckgo.com instead of...

Glad things are going better, at least last night. It's winter (unless you're in the southern hemisphere) and they eat a lot less. Aliza

Welcome to you and your crested gecko. Looking forward to pictures. My two most common pieces of advice: a 12"x12"x18" enclosure is too small for an adult (I have no idea what you're using, so this may be irrelevant) just because you don't see your crestie eating it doesn't mean that it's not...

I was just checking to see if she was new and if there's any chance that she has crypto (likely not, but no guarantee. My geckos have had crypto for nearly 9 years and the ones who are still alive are all asymptomatic, but that could change any time). I think diagnosing this is above my pay...

I think you need to take her to the vet. Remind me how long you've had her and where you got her from. Aliza

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...
