Hey guys! I was doing a little check up of Ena, and I noticed her nose is looking a little funny. Seems like some of the scales are rubbed, her nostrils are dark and she has a bit of a nose whistle. I know she likes to nose around in the dirt now that I’ve planted her tank...any ideas of what this could be? I put her in a bath to see if I could loosen any dirt that might be up her schnoz.
Because one lizard isn’t enough....
Welcome to the squad, little guy! He is a 4-month-old Halmahera BTS. Please give us your name suggestions!

Hey where do u get ur cork? Also I really wanna make my tank bioactive but I dont like bugs...
Hi there! I got my cork from a lovely local store (I live close to Toronto!). Depending on where you are, I’d suggest checking out small local reptile stores to handpick your cork pieces.
Haha, I totally get that! Luckily the bugs for the tank are about the size of a pinhead, and live in the soil anyways so you aren’t seeing much of them. However, something to consider is the reality that you may have to deal with pests in your bioactive enclosure at some point. Mites/woodlice can spring up from practically nowhere, so ask yourself if you’d be okay with dealing with small little buggies for the sake of an awesome enclosure! I think it’s worth it, personally:)
My Bioactive Set-up
Hey guys! So I’ve been telling myself all year that I’m going bioactive, and then chickening out thinking about all the things that can go wrong. Well this weekend I was feeling spicy and decided to just DO IT so here we are! I wanted to give you guys a little breakdown of how I set my new tank up. Please note that this is my first time doing this and I am by no means an expert, just a normal gal doing her best. I’d love any tips on what to expect next in this bioactive journey!
Hi guys! Ena has gotten a new sister: Anastasia! She is a 7-year-old Himalayan rescued from our local humane society. I will be keeping this blog strictly lizard-based, but if you would like to follow this sweet girl’s progress she will be on Instagram @anastasiathehimmy !❤️🍓
Hey all! It has definitely been a minute!! We are alive and well and have moved into a new apartment this month. It’s been pretty hot this week, so Ena has been enjoying some special treatment: frozen towels draped on top of her tank, cool spritzing water, and her own personal fan! What is your favorite way to keep your lizards cool during a heat wave?
hi! i’ve been wanting to get a crested gecko for quite some time now. I just have a few questions because every site I go too no one agrees. If you’ve answered these sorry! I couldn’t find if you have, so... do you feed your crestie live crickets? I don’t really like that idea, I’m okay with dead crickets, but what would you recommend? Also, do you use any heating sources?
Hi there!I feed Pangea’s full crested gecko diet. I tried to feed crickets when I first got my gecko, but she wouldn’t eat them! Even after trying several times she just sort of stared blankly at them. Some geckos will love them, others are picky. If you want your gecko to eat bugs but don’t want to handle live ones, Pangea has a fruit and bug diet where the bugs are already mixed in to the powder diet. As for a heat source, my home is kept quite warm so I don’t currently have a heat source. HOWEVER there is a lot of recent information pointing to how beneficial a heat gradient is for cresties! I’m looking into adding a heat source when I redo my tank this year, and it really isn’t a bad idea to include one!😊
2018 is the year I go bioactive my dudes
Anybody got some neat tips and tricks? Feel free to send pictures of your set up as inspiration! I’m wanting to plant my tank sometime before summer!
I’m still new to terrarium/geckos, but this is my cresteds vivarium as of a month ago. It’s changed a little bit since then, and will probably change a bit more as I find out what plants will do well where.
This is a beautiful enclosure!!!

I got the liz a little coconut at the expo this past weekend and she couldn’t figure out how to get her giant butt to fit inside lol
What morph is your gecko? She’s so beautiful, and I would like to get one that looks like her!
This is so sweet, thank you! To be honest I have no idea what morph she is, she’s just a pretty generic, plain-jane crestie as far as I know! You’ll easily be able to find one who looks just like her!😊 I’m not into breeding or anything so I honestly never learned what morph she’d be classified as…followers? Anybody?
I’m not the best with morphs, but I think you’d call her a flame? Most cresties with that sort of basic orange-y base are and i believe its the most common. She’s adorable 💚💚💚
I just googled flame morph and I feel like that’s definitely it! Thank you, I honestly had no idea, I just picked her because she’s orange and I like orange😂💕
Throwing it back to some pretty snow pictures from last year because we just got our first real snow in good ‘ol lower Ontario ❄️

Hope everyone who’s in the middle of finals is doing ok! You’re almost there! Encouragement lizard!
So I know I haven’t posted in forever but guess who’s still alive and does Not Want to pose for a Polaroid!
