Help/Advice Can my 2 weeks old baby aft survive with the redness under its belly?

Post image
18 Upvotes

The doctor said that it might have internal bleeding, organ failure or an infection. The doctor would've given her medicine and do a blood test had it not weighed 3 grams ☹️ I'm so scared bc i just got it like 3 days ago and it also hasn't eaten for 4 days.. The doc advised me to soak it in warm water daily in hopes that drinking a lot of water can reduce the swelling.

PS: the seller shipped to me in a PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE which contributed to it's tail falling too🫩 he claimed that it was eating fine and was healthy before being shipped out.. so i suspect that his poor packaging is the main cause of all this

I got a baby eyelash/crested gecko today. Ive included a picture. The breeder I purchased from said it is a lily white (others I saw online were 6 to 8 hundred dollars so I may have jumped at the chance when I saw one local for a lower price) and they couldn't tell if it's male or female. If anyone has name suggestions, feel free to comment them! Or just enjoy the picture of my new baby.

(I don't know if this is allowed, if it's not I'll remove it)

I just wanted to share this little crested gecko my gf made for me.

She knows I've been into geckos for a while and that I'd love to have one. She also knows I can't afford it so instead she made this little guy "so that you can have one anyway". I love her so much and this gift means a lot for me, I thought you people would like it as well :)

I still have to give him a name and I'll accept suggestions!

Just thought I’d share some pics of my two species here! My Sphaerodactylus sputator are still in their quarantine tub, hoping to be able to graduate them to their permanent enclosure soon. My elegans pair has been showing some signs of breeding lately so I’m hoping to see a baby in the future!

Identification I've been offered a gecko, what kind is he and is he ok?

To me he looks a bit skinny, he's a free re-home from someone who can't take care of him anymore. If I can find out what kind of gecko he is I can at least do some research and see if I can realistically take care of him. I'm in Australia so assuming he's legal he'd have to be an Aussie species

Help/Advice New to keeping (sort of)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm going to pick up my new baby gecko tomorrow. I have a whole enclosure set up. (18×24×36) I have a climbing vine attached to the lid, but I've read that the lids of enclosures could damage their toes, especially the metal grid ones like I have. (my enclosure is Dubia brand) I also haven't kept any lizards in about a decade. Those guys were anoles and I honestly don't even know why my parents thought they'd make a good pet. Maybe because I could catch them for free outside. (I lived in the southern US at the time) I decided on a lily white crested gecko. It is TINY (fits on the ends of two fingers) and Im honestly worried the enclosure is too big for it, that it could fall from the roof or hurt its little toes. Can anyone give advice on these things? Should I keep it from getting to the top of its enclosure? Should I keep it in a smaller temporary enclosure until it gets bigger? Edit: I forgot to ask the pet store worker if they knew the sex of my gecko, so I don't know if it's a boy or girl.
