crested gekos?

Question

does anyone have any tips on how to care for them housing food etc. I just got one they are awesome!!!

Answer 1

Best is a tall tank or screened enclosure. They like to climb and can climb glass easily. Use no substrate on the bottom, as it can be ingested and cause impactions. Use non-adhesive shelf liner, or ceramic tile. Use fake plants, rocks, caves, etc for climbing and hiding. A shallow water bowl. Mist the cage lightly twice a day to keep humidity up a bit. No heat or lighting is needed. Feed Repashy (powdered diet you mix with water--can order online), fruit babyfood, and small crickets that have been gutloaded and dusted with calcium (no D3) a few times a week. A multivitamin once a week. Good websites:
