We picked up our first Crested Gecko today. Very Happy

We got it from our local rep shop which my friend owns. He gets his Cresteds from Scott, this is one of Scott's that he had off him a couple of weeks ago. It's quite a dark flame morph and we think it's gorgeous.

These were taken a few minutes ago in the tub we brought it home in so excuse the poor quality photos as the tub was damp and condensated. Rolling Eyes

So much for feeding and coming out at night. Haven't even been able to spot it for the last 2 days, not even at 4am this morning. Shocked

Should I be getting concerned or just leave it to come out on it's own? Confused

just leave him to his own devices for a couple of days. I get up at 4 every morning, for work and thats when mine are up and about and peeping at me. He'll be fine

i had one like that my first crestie from scott he comes out at night now but it took 3-4 days before he did and he didnt eat for 4 days, even now i have to put his food up high where he climbs so he will eat, thenhe never stops eating. the second crestie i got from scot is manic it is out all night and just jumps around everywhere and never stops eating, she jumps from one side of the cage to the other. where as he just climbs around slowely. so dont panic i know its hard i did cos he wasnt eating or drinking. dont try to pester them too much let them be try putting food near where he goes at night if you can see him and i find mine drinks from where i spray rather than from any water bowl. at night i put hteir food on the uv tube ,when it off obviously and they climb in it and eat, if i put food in bowl on floor they dont eat it. give a few days yet and he will settle down. i had a few sleepless nights too
