For my baby

So I got a couple babies recently and this is the tank for one of them. This is just a temporary home till he gets bigger and feels safer to be in his big boi home. Do you think he’ll like the purple leaves?

Did you guys see the recent discover magazine about?There's been some studies. Is where reptiles have more emotions than we thought?.

I still can't believe that we're human beings who make all these mistakes who we have harmed our own species time and time again, where we do wars and political stuff.But we still think that we have a right to say if an animal can have emotions when we're terrible with our own.

First attempt at custom background.

Idk if I wasn’t fast enough getting the dirt on or what I did wrong. I watched Ever Evolving Exotics on YouTube and he didn’t use silicone on top of the foam, he just put the foam in, the cork bark, then the dirt. Can I go back over this with silicone or would it not work because there’s dirt on it now? I could take a blow dryer on cool setting to possible get more of it off. I’m kind of in a rush because I got my clean up crew a week ago and I’m afraid they’ll run out of food so I’m trying to get them in the enclosure asap. I should have waited until I had the set up done and my gecko in it but lesson learned.

Feeding schedule for a new owner

My friend just got a Gargoyle gecko (I know it needs more protein) and wants to follow a feeding schedule of dubia roaches and Pangea CGD that’s more concrete than mine. I’d like to hear what y’all’s schedules are to make one for him.

Adult crested gecko is VERY clumsy

Could it maybe be something wrong with his toes? Hes a adult and i misted his enclousure and he slid down the glass and when he jumps he sometimes doesnt really land well. Is that normal or should j be worried?

Crickets

How do you feed them? I bought some for the first time and I'm now trying to feed it to my gecko, the first one he ate good but I have such problems getting them out.

I'm using long tweezers? I can't remember the name English is not my first language. But Im too slow to grab them and I get startled if they jump. I'm dusting them in calcium once I got it but the mix of feeling bad for them and being scared of them make me wonder if it's a good idea to keep buying them.

Edit: I put them in the freezer for a bit and it worked, I've fed him 2 now but it makes me feel so bad 🥲

Willow for crested gecko viv?

I’m trying to build a bioactive vivarium for my crested gecko and have been looking into different plants, I have a few planned but came across this one at Home Depot today and it was so pretty.

Tbh I know nothing about the plant so hoping to get some initial reactions, I can’t seem to find direct info online on if these are safe as living plants as well but seen their branches when dead and baked off are fine.

Also, not the biggest deal, but if anyone has info on how quickly these grow that would be super appreciated. My enclosure will be very tall so I’m not overly concerned about growth, more about safety :)
