Crested gecko questions

Post by Luckythecrab » Wed Jul 01, 2015 1:00 pm

Hey guys! I'm back! But not with any hermit crab related things. Nope, I think i'm buying a crested gecko soon! But I have a few questions...
1. If I buy them from a pet store, will they be healthy? I know most crabs have PPS when bought from a store, is it the same with geckos? Also, I've never raised a gecko before, are they hard to keep? Are they harder to keep then crabs? Thanks!

No experience here with cresties, but I just adopted a fat-tailed gecko last month. If you have any reptile rescues around you, check them out first! I adopted mine at a local event from a group out of Cleveland, and I knew I was getting proper advice from them when we talked about adopting him, and I've been able to message them on Facebook whenever I have a question. :) It makes owning a pet so much easier when you can reach out to an expert and get a clear answer fast. They were completely okay with us being first time owners, probably because we did ask so many questions to make sure we were doing things correctly.

I liked this forum a lot for crested gecko care/advice, though I haven't participated there in a while.
