Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

new crested gecko
Hey just got my first crested gecko. First question is when is a good time to sex it? Its still a baby so i know it will be awhile but a rough est of how many months. Also the guy that i bought the gecko from said if we feed it fruits and vegs to let them rot alittle and get soft before feeding does anyone do that?

A little research can go a long way, I suggest finding a good care sheet online and reading through it.
I do not know anyone that feeds fruits and vegetables to their geckos. Maybe some banana every once in a great while, however it is just not practical or suggested to do this. There are complete diets available for crested geckos at nearly any pet store, these are much more suited to feeding your gecko and keeping it healthy.
Sexing your gecko can be difficult. A loupe will be required. Some geckos can be sexed as early as 3-4 grams, however some will take until they are 14-15 grams to be sure.
I really would suggest finding a care-sheet, or multiple, online and reading through them.

What kind of food did you buy? I know some Petco chains carry the Trex version of CGD.
