well itd be easier to say what you did right in a list unfortunately. cresteds, and all rhacs are very different from any others. i keep mine in room temp in all bnut the summer months, which they find an a/c unit giving them a high of 76. the food should be crested gecko diet mixed with water or baby food. crickets should be offered every once in a while. he dropped the tail due to stress and trying to keep the little nutrients it had in its body. that is the point you should have posted. it also sounds like calcium deficiency played a role, the back legs not being used. you could attempt to bring it back, but no promise can be made. i am not trying to be mean with any of this, ive made mistakes with everything ive had, its all learning experience. next time, especially if you dont keep the species, please do your research to the best extent.
