Does anyone know of a good care sheet for a crested gecko? I looked around but found a variety of different feeding methods and housing and so on. I just find that i trust here a lot more, wanted to know if any members own one and have good advice, even a caresheet to start. Thanks a lot.

Well, reading through that I have a few problems with it.
Baby food is something you never want to feed. Even as treats. They'll get addicted and fast, and even supplemented baby food is no good. Get some good Repashy Crested Gecko Diet (you can buy it in small containers at pet stores, or purchase in larger quantity, which is probably best, at a number of sites, this being the cheapest: http://www.pangeareptile.com/products.htm
Sex can't really be told based on age, as they all grow in different ways. You'll need to look at the weight for the age. TYPICALLY a 15 gram gecko can be sexed, but is never guaranteed.
And, breeding...the eggs shouldn't be left in the enclosure. They could be turned, which would drown them, some substrates can be harmful for the eggs, and if they hatch with the parents, the parents will see them as food.
Here are a few care sheets that I have gone by:
