Finally got my first crested gecko
- Thread starter Mad About Cichlids
- Start date
nice pick up,just feed him well,vit powders,humidity up and dont let him get over 85 degrees for too too long.I dont really think MBD with him but getting him on track with diet and habitat will be the only thing you can do now.Hate for you to stress him out too much but you can pry his mouth open and in the back upper top you can see two white bulges that will give you an idea of his calcium intakes or if hes been storing it up well.If you can get a pic of his mouth open for us then you are the king lol.
crested will get a soft jaw also from mbd not sure how soon,I just think the rest of him looks good and Im with varanio on I think the tail may just have an old kinked injury but cant tell for sure unfortunately,keep us posted.
Thanks everyone
The sheds came out fine, I followed this video.

I have seen the pictures of calcium sac on pangea but don't think I'm good enough at handling these animals yet to open it's mouth.
He looks healthy and normal also he's eating and drinking just great. He's on crested gecko diet and I did sprinkle a little calcium powder in his food.

^ Oddly enough the person who made that video, http://jbscresties.com/mygeckos.html, was one of the breeders in Illinois.
