My female crested gecko doesn't seem to be moving around much at the moment. For the last 3 nights she has stayed where she is in the day (A small gap between the nesting box and the side of the tank) for at least 2 hours after the light has gone on, though I don't know what she does through the night.

I just wondered if there might be something wrong? Or maybe they aren't as mobile just before they breed? (which is what I'm hoping, lol). Or maybe she's just lazy?

Thanks

The chances are that she is actually moving around during the night without you noticing it. Mine certainly return to the same sleeping place every morning and a few of them are pretty lazy about getting going after the lights have gone off.

Still I would certainly keep a closer eye on her just to make sure that there isn't anything wrong. Check to see if she's eating/going to the toilet if possible.

I'm sure some of the more experienced keepers on this forum will be able to offer you some more advice.
