so is it safe to house more than one per enclosure?I know not 2 males but are females ok or 1 male and a female?Will that stress the female and shorten her life.I think we hit this before but if you have any real info let me know.

Depend on the geckos...

Some just don't get along.
 
i have a male and a female together with no problems they both are growing nicely and no tail nippin or bullying goin on that i know of. id agree with kioka on it depends on the geckos. if you do house them together just have alot of hides
 
Yep. I got two cresties that get along, but then there is another one that don't get along with ANY of theothers.
 
I've got a male and looking for a female for him atm.

What is everyone feeding theirs?

I've been hand feeding baby food but it's very labourious, and i've put crickets in but not sure if he's getting them...

how long have you had it?How old is it?
 
^ how big?if its small try some pinheads or small meal worms or flightless flies,bigger then try crickets,meal worms,as for putting them together just make sure you have lots of hides and keep an eye on them for a few days,some geckos like others some dont so just watch them for awile

Only had him bout a week, he's about 11 months old i believe.

how big
He's about 3.5" i would guess, awesome little guy
mine wouldnt eat in front of me for 3 weeks.Keep a fresh dish of the peach baby food with calcium mixed in,in the tank at all times for now.Then once you know he is eating that you can start weaning him onto the cgd mixed in with it and then just the cgd.After 3 weeks one day I put small,not pinhead but small crix in and he took off like a cat after them.Unlike alot of other herps these guys are super shy feeders at first and need more time to adjust.On the mixed food,he eats like a bb size amount at a time so dont expect to see alot missing.Good luck.I freaked out too.
