Help Crestie is not sticking

roxygecko May 05, 2004 04:29 PM

I had this crestie for a few weeks and he has been perfect. Today he tried to walk on the glass twice and just fell off. What could be wrong? I am new to arboreal geckos.

it could be ready to shed or it may have walked through baby food ( if you feed it baby food)
just be sure to keep the humidity between 60-75% and i wouldn't worry about it too much. if it is about to shed it will be sticking again within 2 days.

Ok thank you, that makes sense cause he is a young lizard and has been eating and pooping, but hasn't shed yet. I haven't read that anywhere, thought i was prepared for anything but I guess not. Thank You so much.
