Hey all, I am hoping to get some advice from some people with experience. I've just started following this forum, and I've searched around, but I can't find the specific info I'm looking for.

I'm thinking of getting a couple of crested geckos, sometime in the next couple of months. My question is this: what is the consistency of a crestie's fecal material? Is it generally sort of solid? Or more liquid-y, like bird crap? I've seen lots of recommendations for different substrates, and it seems that a lot of people opt for paper towels for ease of cleaning, which leads me to think that it must be kind of an issue. Do they usually drop their feces onto the floor of the enclosure, or do they leave it on the plants, or is that all just up to chance? If you use plastic plants, which it seems a lot of people do, how do you keep them clean? I'm used to chuckwallas, and I used to have a leopard gecko for several years, and the desert animals tend to conserve water, which means that they leave very solid turds that can easily be scooped out, but I'm thinking that a species from a rain forest might be more prone to having less-than-solid excretions. Any advice or guidance will be appreciated!

Angus
