    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My first gecko!

He's a baby crested gecko. I named him Pumpkin Bonecrusher, and he's my first gecko ever! Alicia took some really nice pictures I wanted to share-he wasn't holding still even a little bit, so I'm pretty impressed with the photo quality!

I hope you like them ^__^ Thank you Alicia!
 
Jenna, hes a lovely little boy ( I never did look myself if he in fact, WAS a HE...) Hes wiggly, but will calm down once he gets a bit older. They still like to jump, so just hold him on the couch, or somewhere soft/not high off the ground.

Have you tried giving him the Repashy yet? if he hates it, try mixing it with baby food and weaning him slowly from a mix of that, to just the repashy. If he will eat crickets * small ones* or roaches * small ones* you can add those into his diet occasionally. But since the CGD is complete, you really dont need to worry too much about it if he wont eat them.

Do you know how to check his calcium sacs too? If not, i can show you so you can keep watch on them every now and then too.

Good luck with him. i cant wait to see his final setup! Im considering going all natural for mine too. :D
 
I've been really careful about his acclimation process, I haven't tried to hold him or freak him out in any way yet. Last night I got adventurous while I was mixing his food though, I took a clean chop stick and fed him a glob of repashy superfood-he licked it clean! I ended up feeding him a good amount that way, and he loved it. He was licking his "chops" for a while. It was really cute ^___^

When you mist them with the water, and it gets on their eyes, they lick it off! THAT is the cutest darned thing EVAR!!
 
I hope you have been warned that these little fellas are like potato chips - you can NEVER have just one :thumbsup:

Congrats to you on the sweet baby!!!!
