    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.....

    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....

Is This Stuck Shed?

Hi all, I'm a predictably over-anxious new crested gecko owner. I only have the one and got her a few days ago, and I'm just wondering if this is stuck shed or just the coloration of her foot? I really want to make sure she keeps all of her toes, besides the fact that stuck shed is probably uncomfortable for her.

I attached a picture of her foot below. Thanks!

 
Doesn't look like a stuck shed to me, it looks like she stepped in Repashi crested gecko diet and the food dried to her foot. It should wash off with water, but honestly I don't see anything there that would worry me.

That would definitely make sense since I saw some gecko food footprints on the glass earlier today. I'm very relieved, thank you for replying! :)
 
They love to step in their food and finger-paint all over the glass. Mine seem to do this right after I've cleaned the cages.

Many of mine also like to drag their tails through the food. I was worried about this, earlier. One of my leachies had this reddish crust on her tail. So, I picked her up to get a closer look and immediately realized it was dried Pangea watermelon food.
