I bought a crested gecko and thinking it would be easy to take care of it, but it's not like that. Mine is very shy and skittish. He would only come out at night after all the lights are turn off. Not only that he seems to sleep during the day and wouldn't even look at crickets even if he is hungry. He will only eat when all the the lights are turn off at night. I've been getting up pretty early in the morning like 5,6 a.m. in the morning before the lights are turned on to feed this guy. He eats great, but only when the lights go out. IT's driving me nuts. I thought it would be easy like my leopard geckos, which will eat during day. I can't feed him after I get off work because I'm so tired. I get out of work at 2 a.m. in the morning, so I've been getting early after I get a few hours of rest. Does anyone have a problem with extremely skitish and shy cresties like mine?
