hmm... anyway water pots are fine as. I use them in my tanks if im going away for a weekend and they wont get a spray for an evening. They do use them.

If you dont think its eating all of the CGD, dont put as much in as u'l only be wasting it. (say if you put in a tablespoons worth... just put in half a tablespoon etc) but... how old is the gecko and how much are you feeding it.
Is it each night? every other? etc etc

as for the pots and ledges, i buy all mine from here

they may work on wood, but i would imagine they it would have to be pretty thin wood. I would asume you had a glass or plastic tank tho?

I think you have hit the nail on the head...cresties are not half as greedy as leos can be and they dont eat massive amounts...yours may still be settling in too.

Yeah ive just seen the bundles myself. Def a good deal and i need a couple more.
Thanks for the compliment :) its got a long way to be finished yet, very much a WIP but i'll get there. Still trying to get hold of a few pics to finish what i want to do.
The Blonde and Halloween's hatchlings have hatched in the last 24 hours, so will have some decent pics of them all up soon enough

I would reduce the livefood to maybe once or twice a week max? Mine dont often get livefood. It is important he eats mainly the cgd to get the correct nutrition. You can replace the cgd every couple of days. Also dust livefood in pure calcium, rather than a multi-vit.

I'd disagree with this. I feed mine a higher ratio of livefood than this and they're not lacking nutrients at all, infact they grow so much faster....
It's up to the owner the ratio of CGD and livefood they feed, as long as they're appropriately dusted they'll be fine.
