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.

It's common for crested geckos to not eat while they are adjusting to a new enviroment. Are you feeding Repashy CGD? Please keep in mind that they don't eat much so you may not notice the small amount being consumed. Try feeding out of a bottle cap, with less volume you should be able to notice it disappearing a bit better. Also, make sure you have the new guy/gal on paper towels so that you can monitor for poop, if they are pooping- they are eating. Try not to handfeed or handle him/her for another week or so, that they can settle in & adjust to their new home with as little stress as possible.

No problem! It's still too early to freak out about them not eating, they can easily go 2 weeks while settling in to a new home, so just provide fresh food/water & leave them be would be the best advise I can give you. A healthy crested won't starve themselves, so as long as he/she is still active & appears healthy then it's likely that you don't notice the small amount they are eating, or that they are still adjusting & too stressed to eat. Good luck with your crestie, they are fantabulous friends!
