First Crested Gecko Egg Success!!! New Baby

I'm a real crestie newbie (only a little over a year) but I thought I'm mention I have a 23g male who I've had a little over a month and he only just ate enough food for me to actually notice last night. I was worried about him at first because my 27g female eats almost half of the food I give her each night (but she's on a growth spurt, she was only about 20g a little over a month ago), I think so long as they aren't boney they're fine I hope that reassures you at least a little

Well Newborn crested geckos are a lot different as far as the amount of CGD they are going to eat as compared to a 23 gram male but also I might add that if you have the two together in the same enclosure the female since she is a little bigger can be more aggressive towards the male and that could be a reason he wasn't eating, but thats if they are together.

But thank you for the input it does keep an open perspective on the small issue and it did help my wife feel better.

I know they're very different and I have no experience in the matter And they're in two different terrariums (both in 18x18x24 Exo-Terra's), and even if they were together the male is bigger by about an inch, the female is just meatier

And I keep forgetting to mention the baby (and adult) is totally adorable

Yeah that sounds like a good size terrarium for just one crested gecko they are just spoiled but it sounds like you are doing alright.

Thanks And I only have two so I can spoil them

The mom is beautiful. Did you get her as a hatchling or did you buy her as an adult?

I bought her when she was probably around 2 to 3 months old from somebody at a pet store. He said she was kind of a rescue because they lost her as a hatchling somehow and then he found her later without her tail and sold her to me for 30 bucks which was a pretty nice deal at the time. I am pretty sure if I bought her as an adult she would have been a pretty penny lol but she is awesome and her and the male have only bred once and she has given us 4 clutches of eggs all fertile, because they live in separate cages but one day when I was cleaning them out they were next to one another and wadya know they go at it.

Nice! I'd love to own a solid red
