I have heard so many different things, and read, so now I want more opinions from people with experience that I know I can truly trust. I finally got my life in order, my beardies new cage is coming in a couple of weeks and it's huge, it will be a beardie palace and when I was in the store ordering it, I saw my first crested gecko. And......... I fell in love with the 10 day old baby in my hand. He/she is very lovable, active but calm, alert, looking around, do the jumping but loves to eat the food of my fingers.
THey say to leave them alone that they can be stressed, but this one is active, moves around, I see her/him drink water off the leaves and she eats from my fingertips when I hold her in my hand. I do this twice a day and she also has her bowl in the tank. I have only had her for three days but she's calm she don't seem to mind she don't stress and she ate well from day one.
The guy in the store said that they are handraised by this guy that sells them the GEckos and that he is a great breeder and most hathcling from him are like this one. And she don't seem to mind at all, but then I read that you should leave them alone, etc.
If she's eating, drinking and not stressing, is it really bad to handfeed her like I am?
I mist her twice a day, feed her twice a day, she has the mossbark for floor, several branches and leaves to hide in. She hides some but she's very active and is exploring her cage. Did that already day one, she seems like she's happy.
How can I tell if she's stressed? I mean a beardie is easy to read, I have never had a crested before but lord I love her so!!
Any good thoughts and advices are welcome
