I managed to catch both Punkin and Chai in the middle of shedding tonight, crazy that they both decided to shed on the same night! Punkin looks so cute in her little hoodie ❤️

Gecko behavior question

Post image
13 Upvotes

So this is Maple I've had her for 6 years now. (She's 7-8) She's a rescue, the first owner was not able to properly take care of her. She was so tiny when I got her. We thought she was just a small girl, but with the setup she had. It was not possible to get high enough humidity, so after I fixed the setup. She grew so fast!!

But because she started life with a bad setup, she never really learned how to remove her shed. So me and my husband had to help her a lot in the beginning, a humid box and q tip with water. But because of us helping her, she hates whenever I come into the room. She's scared I will pick her up. I've been trying to pick her up at random times, just to show nothing will happen. (And so she can be handle incase of vet visit). She lost her tail last year, and I feel she's even more skittish after it. She panics much more when I'm holding her. Before she could handle some handling, now she freaks out. My question is would a new home help?? Like with people who have not done her "wrong" in her eyes. I don't want to re-home her, but if it could help her I would. (I'm writing this right before sleep, so I will probably answer tomorrow 😅 thx to who ever cared to read it all ❤️)

Mold popped up in the drainage layer of my bioactive this past week. Terrarium has been established for almost 3 months and I was planning on getting a crested gecko next month. What do I do?

Papaya trying to learn music.

My little guy has been very curious about my electric piano lately. He has chilled out on the music stand a couple times now, staying still long enough for me to play him a song. The piano is right next to his enclosure, maybe he's been listening to me play!

Disclaimer: I noticed a different, computer-savvy crestie posted here recently who is also named Papaya! This is not the same gecko, but clearly, geckos named Papaya must be highly intelligent.

Advise for future crested gecko tank

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

I'm working on a new bioactive created gecko tank to upgrade from my 12x12x18 to this 18x18x24.
I haven't added any of the live plants or other fake greenery yet, and as much as I want to simply "trust the process" I don't know how I like this so far. It looks a bit busy in my opinion but at the same time I also don't want any dead space.
Any ideas/advise is appreciated!

I've spent way too much money and time on him but I'm happy because I think he's happy.
