This was great. I just bought the Crested Gecko Starter Kit from Pangea Reptiles. I got the gecko shipped also. I do use paper towels as substrate, and added a ReptiRock shallow water bowl. The only change I did was remove the foam background and replaced it with a cork one.

Don't be an idiot! A friend of mine once killed his 6 year old household gecko by feeding it a roach he found in the kitchen. It seems okay to some idiots, but don't forget the roaches eat ant poisons, wood shavings etc, all of that shit can be undigested when your gecko eats the roach. Thus meaning your gecko just ate a roach + whatever else is in the belly (poison, shavings, paper, moldy crums, etc).

There are some differentness between Baby Crested Geckos and adults. And you should never get moss from outside. For baby's you SHOULD use paper towel to make sure there going to the restroom. As long as you have a mesh type lid you don't need to cover anything up because they still need a good amount of air flowing in the cage. Just to help out:)

I agree with most of what you said but substrate wise its easier to go with something easier to maintain if something goes wrong. I had eco earth as my substrate twice and twice got mites so had to gut everything, bake all wood items and freeze my coco fibre background. Now i'm also using a coco fibre mat for my substrate as well as my background and its a lot easier to maintain and there is no chance of introducing mites as the humidity is much lower, so just a heads up

I recently switched them to a freshly cleaned cage with paper towels as substrate but the symptoms are still there... What should I do?

Katie Medland Pangea is fine but you should change it up and occasionally feed them 1 to 2 crickets every month. Crickets are usually a treat for them and shouldn't be used as an everyday food source. Repashi is a really good source of food too and I really recommend it but if you do feed them that I would also recommend feeding them the Pangea as well because not all of the varieties of repashi have calcium in them. Changing up their diet in my opinion is best for your crested gecko not that they wouldn't be happy with just one food source but I think they do appreciate it and enjoy it. Hoped this helped you!!
