Cresties are super easy to look after; Howie, my guy, seems to prefer the Repashy powdered diet reconstituted with dechlorinated water , though for a treat I'll give him something like peach baby food there's a big list of what they can and cannot eat, which is easy enough to find with a quick google search. Many people think that cresties are unable to eat meat, though I've tried mine on a turkey and sweet potato baby food and he adores it. I wouldn't recommend straight meat.

You should always use a water conditioner, added calcium preferred you might get told that you only need the calcium for the females, but trust me, the males will be better off for it , when you prepare the drinking water or bathe him/her bathe the crestie in water slightly warmer than room temperature before holding it until it goes to the bathroom, or else chances are it's going to go on you

Another thing to seriously consider is getting a 20 -30 gallon tank; it'll adore the extra room and you'll likely hear it happily leaping about at night.

Definitely include a hidey-hole of sorts, use cocoanut fibre substrate Petland told me to use this bark mixture, which he ended up ingesting some of. Turns out that can actually kill the little guys. I was then told about the cocoanut fibre, and he seems to be much happier

Mealworms and crickets should only be a treat, as they will fatten a crestie up quickly and their health will suffer. Howie only began eating crickets when he was around four years old, I don't know if that's normal, but thought you might benefit from the info Wax worms and butter worms are also acceptable.

One big thing to remember is that they do get lonely; many people will get pets such as geckos and mainly keep them as something to look at. They will get depressed if left alone too much. Even though they are nocturnal, you can still take them out during the day. Howie loves to chill in the houseplants you've just got to be careful what kind of plant you let them on. Aloe vera, spider plants, and palms are great choices during the day, and sometimes he'll get to go on 'tours' of the place.

You've also got to mist them once a day or so. A heat lamp might be necessary at night, depending on the temperature of your home.

You cannot keep two males together they'll fight to the death , though sometimes you can place two or more females together. You can also put something like an African giant millipede in there, they are gentle and get along well with cresties.

Mine likes music, too, if you get one they'd probably enjoy some tunes as well.

*** Don't burn candles near geckos or birds , nor incense or anything like that as it will destroy their lungs and can cause terrible health problems and/or death

These guys also like to fake you out by pretending that they are dead; they'll breathe so shallowly that it's barely perceptible and will stay perfectly still sometimes even when touched. Mine scared me a bunch of times for the first while that way.

As a last note, they can be bastards; they will sometimes forcefully crap all over you if they're unhappy if you put them straight home, which is often what they seem to want, then you reinforce that by crapping on you they get to go home and it'll probably happen a lot as a result and sometimes as a result of the force they put into it, their hemipenis will pop out and make it seem like their guts have come out of a small tear in the lower abdomen. Nobody had told me about this, and the first time it had happened, I rushed to call the vet and was prepared to dash up there, thinking he'd have to be put down or something

I think that's about it. If you have any questions, ask away!

My Golden Labrador died a few weeks ago, his name was Bosley
He was 15 years old and this is the last photo I took of him, his last bath

This is my frenchie. Shes called Moxxi.

i imagine that its because once people are out of school they stop giving a shit, i learned the metric system and all that shit now i can convert very few things because i don't need to use it at all in my life.

Same with cursive i can write my signature thats about it you want me to write a parragraph in cursive it will take me like 2-3 minutes to try to remember that shit and half i won't which will then be scribbles which is pretty much everyone everywheres signature
