Hello, here is a link to care sheet for crested geckos. I suggest you read it carefully and make sure you are doing everything correct with regards to husbandry. I think this will answer most of your questions but if not, feel free to post again. ( http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Lizards/Crested-Gecko/ ) You cannot tell their age unless you know when they were born. Short of that all you can do is guess based on size.

I have a crested gecko and he has been very lethargic lately. He's not eating, not climbing, and spending most of his time on the ground.

Anytime a reptile becomes excessively lethargic, you must check the ambient and basking temperatures. Low temps can dramatically affect activity and appetite. Set daytime temps between 78 F and 82 F . Night temps can drop into the low 70s F. A small basking area set at around 80 F should be provided. They are nocturnal, so don't expect a lot of daytime activity. Offer a variety of appropriately sized prey (crickets, dubia roaches, etc.) as well as a commercial gecko diet. You may need to hold prey in front of him or tap his nose to elicit a strike. Do not attempt to force feed him. Soak him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. Gently stroking his abdomen during the soak may produce a bowel movement if he hasn't been defecating. The soak will treat or prevent mild dehydration. If he continues to exhibit this behavior or does not start eating, have him examined by an experienced herp veterinarian. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites.

What is the best gecko or other small reptile for a beginning reptile keeper that is relatively cheap not counting snakes because my boyfriend won't let me have one. One of my local pet stores has tokay geckos and leopard geckos the other one has a c

Leopard geckos are great "starter" reptiles. They don't require special lighting (UVB) like other reptiles. A 20 gallon tank is big enough for one. Add a heat source, hides and a water bowl and you are good to go.

Crested gecko wont eat

Check the enclosure temperatures first. If it is too cold, Coco will not eat. Low temps can affect appetite and digestion in reptiles. After proper temps are confirmed, check in and around the mouth. Look for redness, swelling, bleeding or discharge. If you see anything suspicious, have Coco physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. Offer smaller than usual prey or something different to stimulate the appetite. Mealworms, dubia roaches or waxworms are fine to feed. Be sure to gut load them for 24 hours prior to offering. A commercial gecko diet should also be made available. You can find one in the reptile section of any pet store. If constipation is a concern, a good soak in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte while gently massaging the abdomen (front to back) may stimulate defecation.

I have a crested gecko and I’ve had him for about a month now and he’s still very jumpy . He won’t let me pick him up and when I put my hand in the cage to see if he will climb onto it he has no reaction or will scram away into the plants . I was won

It will take patience and consistency on your part. Spend time sitting by the cage. He may run or hide initially, but when he doesn't, place your hand in the cage for ever increasing periods of time. Once again, he may run and hide but make no attempt to touch or hold him. Once he stops running from your hand, use special food treats/prey to entice him onto your hand. Eventually, he will anticipate your presence as meaning a potential meal or treat.
