I love her. I know she’s a soft scale—is she much softer than regular cresties?

Unrelated question: I’m debating a Govee hydgrometer combo, but I’m not sure how to fasten it into enclosures. Could Velcro dots work? 3M hooks?

Can you wedge it somewhere like on branches? I would try to avoid adhesives of any kind because if the humidity causes them to fall off they could get stuck on the gecko.

I love the floppy crests! It is a gecko thread, so it needs gecko pictures lol :joy:.

That’s my fear. Too much opportunity for things to fall and babies to get stuck on sticky things.

Maybe a suction cup with a hook like the reptavines come in? They have a small hole for lanyards to go through so maybe I can do that.

I’ve found those suction cups to be very weak but if they work for you that would work well.

Agreed. I grabbed some heavy duty ones for other enclosures in the house to replace the original ones. :joy: I’m just not sure how to attach them to the songmics boxes.

Ugh I’m a sucker for floppy heads! It’s why we go to extreme a lot as a lot/most of his have them! :heart_eyes:

Her crests are partly why I chose her, and because she’s a soft scale :grin:

Tbh I can’t tell the difference much on feel but I haven’t held her and a non soft scale at the same time so I’m going to see if I can tell that way. But then I seem to have a few cresties that appear softer than others 🤷

If it wasn’t for her contrast in colours and close up pics (plus a reputable breeder) I wouldn’t know she is a soft scale.

Omg I’m going to hate it when she has babies as I’m going to struggle to get them to stay still for pics in order to see which is soft scale and which isn’t :scream:

I hope to produce super soft in 2023 which are suppose to be noticeably softer.

I wouldn’t use anything sticky inside a Cresties enclosure, just not worth the risk. All it takes is a slight peel and the gecko could get injured.

I did a lot of research on suction cups and I’ve found an amazing one, so much so that the suction cups only fell off for the bridge yesterday and I set it up about 1 year ago, although if there is already lots of watermark stains, then it’s not very good.

I’d suggest trying to wedge it in and use a suction cup if possible

Coming from the person who seems to get a new gecko every month :smirk:

You know she’s going to follow in your footsteps :grin:

I got some money for Christmas and I’m so torn with what I want to do with it :scream::scream::scream:

Yeah yeah :roll_eyes::smirk::joy:
To help fair I only got the new girl as Crackers went today… And I may let go a couple other adults… And more babies are up so it’s been a hard day :joy: I swear even now I get sad with one leaving. I felt so sad when she was collected, but then I got a lovely message to say that Crackers is beautiful and just how happy she was and that made my day I swear 🄲

Haha I hope so, but not at the same time :joy:
And I mean she has. isopods in her room now, Bloody weird child of mine! They’re dairy cows too. Something wrong with her, She’s the kid who finds a slug and makes it a home to keep it inside for a while to look after and feed. :joy:
I was hoping she’d have a ā€˜pair’… But I mean they’re frigging adorable little spotty things. Even more spots now too! :sob:

Oh no… That’s bad…
So which Crestie you looking at so far? :joy:

At an expo there’s one vendor who uses magnets and a 3d printer for their crested gecko feeders. You could likely buy strong magnets (I think they have them on Pangea and these people at the expo said they got theirs from a site with extras for washing machines, maybe maytag)?

I got money for Christmas too but most people said that it wasn’t for use with reptiles (apparently they don’t want to support my latest obsession, lol).
