Thanks for this. I've had a baby crested for 3 weeks and held it twice so I could put him/her in the critter keeper and clean the tank. It's so fast and jumpy and just wants to run away so I'm looking forward to it being more tame and bigger to make it easier and less stressful for both of us.

i made a mistake of trying to interact with my gecko like, 2 days after getting him (mostly because he looked really chill and didn't seem to mind my presence, sleeping in the open space and looking more curious than scared about noises) but it was too fast, he's much more cautious about me now and hides more. We'll work our way out, but yeah, the rule of one week without interactions is quite important

No breeder has geckos that ALL have their tails. Some drop them more easily than others. If your gecko still has its tail, it's a mix of good care and luck. Some people take amazing care of their geckos and they still drop their tails.

Hi, I know this video is a year old so I'm not sure if you'd see this, but I've had a crested gecko for about 6 years now, he was fairly young when I bought him but not a complete baby, but he's never been handled. At the time I feared that stressing him out would make him drop his tail as I wasn't sure how much pressure would make him do so as well as my dog eating him. Do you think it would be possible to handle him all these years later or just to leave him as that's what he's used to? Thanks a lot and nice gecko's!
