Like I mentioned before, they like snails and eggs to eat too. Ive heard they also eat frogs but thats a bit cruel to the frog.
Im not sure if i would risk feeding him snails from your garden but you should try giving him an egg, it looks freaky as they get the whole thing in their mouth then crush it. Probably start with a smaller sized egg so theres no choking risk, its pretty messy so maybe do it on a day you plan on cleaning up the cage.

I used to give mine eggs, but I cracked it for him

We were just kids, catching them and keeping them for summer, didnt really know what we were doing. But you are probably safer cracking the eggs first, if the lizard isnt used to them there may be a chance of choking. Its cool to watch them crunch them down though, they look like they enjoy doing it and its a nice protein source for them!

Sounds like it would be interesting, I just mixed egg up in whatever I was feeding it. I did the same with my monitors amd tegus

Ogertron3000 I have fed him scrambled eggs but he is too small to eat a whole egg when he is a little bigger Im going to try quail eggs but once he is full grown he will definitely get full sized eggs!

That’s the thing...
Crested geckos by nature shouldn’t, but it seems like almost all of them do. Supposedly it is when laying eggs, shedding, or just trying to get some extra warmth or humidity. Part of them just liking to be weird.

My new favorite photo of him he is pushing 14" they grow crazy fast. He has taken to handling like a champ he never bit me or tried to but he would sometimes hiss when I woke him from a nap.
