I wish more people would listen to this kind of advice. I see far too many tanks that are absolutely SOAKED because someone told them they need to be constantly humid.

I see that a lot of folks received crested geckos over the Christmas break. That's awesome, welcome to the fold. The biggest piece of advice I can shout right now: please stop hosing down your geckos 🥲 They will drink from their foliage if the leaves are gently misted in the evening when they're waking up, and of course always provide a drinking dish, but please make sure their enclosure dries down between misting and the gecko can get up off of all of the wet stuff.

This means not only being a little easier on the amount you spray, but making sure the enclosure you're using has actual airflow. 3 little holes on each side of a plastic tub is not gonna cut it. And keeping the species in deli cups for longer than a show or for shipping is not only dangerous, but unkind.

Keeping them too wet will mean a painful trip to the next world. By which I mean 😵💀☠️🪦 and not the ice level in Super Mario. OK thanks byeee

How it all began..

Ever since I was a young girl, I have always loved the more "exotic" type pets. I had several hermit crabs and at one point I had two water dragons. But as the years went by I started to become more attached to the furry pets. Reptiles and the more exotic type pets were no where to be found for many years.

In high school, I found myself drawn back towards the more scaley pets and I started researching Crested Geckos. I quickly fell in love with their colors and their attitudes so off we went to find the perfect one. Back in 2012, there weren’t a lot of places to buy Crested Geckos, or reptiles even, so we had to drive into the city in order to find one that came from a good home. Or at least not just off of kijiji.

Driving into Calgary brought us to J and J Reptiles and when I asked to see the female Crested Geckos they pulled out a large rubbermaid that was all fitted with Crested Gecko appropriate pieces. There were quite a number of females in the box but I fell in love with a little fat lady that was chilling in the corner of the box. Most of the other ladies were brighter colors, much larger, and much more active, but I was looking for a chill gecko. .

The employees at the exotic pet shop thought she was weird and tried to persuade me into buying one of the other ladies, but my heart was set on her and her weird behaviour. By the time I got home, I had thought of the name Paradox.
