Well I have just encountered a very interesting situation. I have 4 crested geckos, which I was SURE was 3 females and 1 male. (3 geckos in my huge tank, and the new for-sure male in quarantine.) Well...the other day I looked, and it seemed that one of my "females" was starting to look not-so-ladylike. I've changed their diet recently, and have been feeding them more consistently, so I figured at first that it was possibly some added weight. Today I was handling my geckos again, and realized that "her" extra weight was actually his dropped man-parts. Ugh. So now I have 2 males and 2 females, which is something that I wanted to avoid, since my goal was a breeding set of 3 females and 1 male. Why this males showed his maleness so late, I do not know.

I have my crested geckos in a 55 gallon very very tall tank. Do you guys think that 2 males would have enough room in there to establish seperate territory? I honestly do not think so. Today was the day quarantine was up for my lovely red tiger male, so what I ended up doing was putting the new gecko into the 55 gallon tank, and put the smaller male into his own cage for now. First off, he is fairly small for me having him for quite a while...and the other male is just bigger than he is.

I guess I'll have to keep this little guy as a solitary pet. I don't want to sell him...because he is really beauitful...but I guess this means I'll have to get a new female for my 55 gallon. :D Right now, I have a female red "super" dalmatian (I just use the term super because she is covered in bold black dots, so I'm not positive if that term is correct or not), a female light colored harlequin, a male light colored fire/dalmatian, and a red tiger. My *dream* crested gecko is a high contrast blonde harlequin. Prehaps I'll keep an eye out at the next reptile show.

One quick question: In your opinion, is adding crickets nessecary when you are using Clarks Gecko Diet?

Sorry if this was kind of rambled or hard to understand. I'm not feeling too great.
