  • I currently live in Glen Ellyn IL. I looked on your website and saw that you live in Rockford. I LOVE your videos and it would be amazing if I could buy a Crestie off of you. I'll contact you on your website also, but I was wondering if it were possible for me to come and pick one or two up rather than have it shipped? It would just give me a little more peace of mind and it would probably be easier for you. It would be GREATLY appreciated! :)

  • @MrGekko1212 Yeah as my site says I am willing to do meet-ups for "locals" - when I can fit it into my sched! Definitely contact me through the site though, I don't get all of my youtube messages

  • how long does it take for a gecko to get used to its new home i just got a crestie last night and he has already ate

  • @willthethrillicious It depends. Some will settle right in. You should still wait at least a week before you start handling though so he can get used to his surroundings.

  • So question here... i have a fully grown male that i recently picked up.. about 2 weeks ago now... when i got him home it was VERY easy to pick him up, take him out of his cup, and put him in the cage.... problem is.. if i even put my hand in (slowly) his tank now, he FREAKS out... runs away as fast as he can and dissapears into his plants.... i mean i have yet to see a crested that is THIS "upset" with anything moving... i would like to take him out to clean his tank soon.. dunno how i can now.

  • @audi97x It happens sometimes, especially with an animal in a new cage, or a critter that wasn't handled much in its previous home. When I get one like that I just try to do 2-minute handling sessions once every 2-3 days and ramp it up slowly from there. Sometimes you will just get a crazy one though.
