Dirty tail?

[Extremecrestie]

So when I first bought my baby crestie about a month ago S/he had a cream tail. But now it looks like it has become dirty and has a orange-ish color over it. You can see parts of her tail that have the white/cream still but the rest looks like it has a dirty orange over it. Is their any way I can clean it? Please let me know because I like the white better.

Thanks,
Cole

Are you sure it is dirty? You can try soaking her in a sauna style bath. Put a little bit of water in a container, I like to use paper towel for the bottom of the container. I mist the sides a little bit and then close the lid. I do not stop watching the container while soaking because I am just nervous that way. Give your gecko a good ten minutes of soaking in the water. The paper towel will help rub things off if it is indeed dirt or whatnot on the tail. You can use a wet q-tip as well when done to help rub against the tail

Here is a really good video on giving your Crested Gekco a bath:

Hope you don't mind me sharing that, JB.

Anyways, Cresties can color morph as they grow into adulthood, so maybe its just that? Also, maybe you don't want to give your gecko a bath if its too young.

What kind of substrate are you using?

If it's not actually dirty, it could also be that the gecko is coming into its adult colors.

I am using paper towel.

It is 3 months old and I have already tried baths.

Post a picture, please? I'm going to make a guess and say your gecko is just aging and changing colors, but I've been wrong before.
