My newly bought Crested Gecko seems to be constantly flared up in colour, is this a sign of stress? She seems constantly really colourful, however I'm not sure if she is flared up or if this is typical for her skin-tone.
(She is a Red Crested Gecko).
I've had her since 03/01/12, and tried to handle her quite abit since that time.
Getting her out roughly 5-6 times a day for about 5 minutes at a time.
I'm also worried about how much she is eating.
Since I've bought her back from the Pet Store she has been eating a few finger-dips of Baby Dessert, also eating a Cricket or two. I've also recently swapped her diet to Repashy's Tropical Mix, and am now keeping her on that. (I've also just put some Banana slices and mashed up Banana pieces in her Terrarium today too, in hopes she might try some).
I've been keeping a keen eye on her and as far as I am aware, she has had 3 'toilet breaks' from 03/01/12 to 08/01/12
The Terrarium is heated by two 25W Night Glo Exo terra Bulbs and the Ambient Air temperature reaches between 72-76 Degrees Fahrenheit.
There is plenty of branches, moss and a small tunnel/cave, food and water for her. I also spray the Terrarium several times a day.
