Advert Description
Dino is my (approximately) 3 years old crested gecko. I am selling him because I will soon leave for university so I won’t be able to care for him anymore and my family is too scared to take care of a reptile.
His colouration is grey/brown with a very light yellow but when fired up he is a very dark brown colour along with a few patches of orange and a very vibrant yellow with dalmatian spots all along his body.
Dino is a VERY active little guy, at night you can hear him jump in his enclosure and move around a lot. He is pretty skittish therefore doesn’t really tolerate handling, however he was never aggressive or showing any defence mechanisms towards me when I attempted to handle him, but he will run and jump around a lot. While this personality of his makes it hard to handle him it also makes it very engaging to see him interact with his enclosure and everything else around him.
Dino is currently purely on a pangea/repashy formula diet. I have tried to feed him both dubia roaches and crickets in the past but due to his skittish nature it was hard to get him eating them. I would appreciate if you attempt at feeding him either of those as it would be very beneficial for him if you do succeed.
The enclosure is 45x45x60 cm Exo-terra custom built by a professional in the hobby which alone cost me £400. It is a fully bioactive tank with a drainage layer, a clean up crew which consists of springtails and 2 different species of isopods and a couple of real plants with a lot of real branches too (the enclosure only has 1 fake plant hanging on the glass wall). The enclosure comes with a 15W Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED bar. (Some pics are from the old tank, first pic is current tank)
A mister, water conditioner and some food is included in the price.
Feel free to contact me for more information as I am limited by the character limit of the description.
I am also open to offers. Preferably please come and collect
