Don’t worry, this is quite common!
Your crested gecko might be hanging out in a corner of the tank because it’s feeling stressed, getting used to a new place, or the tank setup might not be quite right.
Here’s what could be going on:
- New environment: If you’ve recently brought your gecko home, it might just be taking its time to adjust to the new environment. It’s normal for them to hide away for a while as they settle in. This can last for a few days or even weeks.
- Changes in the tank: Did you change anything in the tank recently? Like adding new decorations, introducing new tank mates, or adjusting the temperature and humidity levels? Any changes like these could stress out your gecko and make it want to hide away.
However, if your gecko seems sick or hurt, hiding could be a sign of that.
If your gecko is acting sluggish, losing weight, or showing any other signs of being sick, it’s best to see a vet who knows about reptiles as soon as possible.
Hope this clears things up!
