Some of us have just got some and a couple have had some for a while.
They need planty of room, plenty of cover, 75 huumidity 20-22 daytime heat and 19-20 nighttime heat.
I feedy mine rapashy complete food and fresh fruit.
I spray once a day in the evening.
I would keep them singular until you know the sex.
Erm... There's a lot more but I can think lol. |

| That just about covers it Georgina. I keep my heat mat a bit hotter though, 24-25oC stuck to one side. They are a bit thick and dont understand bowls so spraying is part for humidity and part so they can have a drink. I had trouble getting mine to take gecko food until I put it in a glass bowl so it could be seen, they really are daft. Oh and be prepared for extremely fast animals that can jump a massive distance. |

they are daft, for the first few days i had his food in a small silver dish. but i have now put it in a bottle top and i have seen him eat loads.
i would keep his food bowl in the same place for the first few weeks as i have found that if i move it goyle goes looking in the same place all the time and i alternate where i put his fruit or his jam (special reptile jam, not actual jam :)) |

| I have some of that jam, Harley wont touch the stuff, I then tried feeding it to the Roaches, they didn't touch it, then tried feeding it to the snails and surprise surprise they didn't touch it. I think I might just put it on toast myself. |

When you get your crestie, and want to feed bugs, crickets are a nightmare! no matter how carefull you are they escape!
Dubia c0ckroaches are fantastic, cant climb smooth surfaces, dont jump, when tiny are exactly like woodlice. just a couple sometimes i give 3. Twice a week.
As for names, make a list of what you like, one might suit him |
