how active are crested geckos compared to lets say leopard geckos?

Question

im asking because i have a leopard gecko and i just got her a longer tank and i now have her old tank sitting around which is basically a 20 gal tank that i am guessing is high enough for a crested or tokay geckos

and yeah i know they are nocturnal

Answer 1

Crested geckos are somewhat slower than leopard geckos. Crested geckos mostly hang out, are fairly active during the night and can be hand trained.

Answer 2

I have both. The 20 would be good for a crested, though they do like to climb and many experts will recommend a tall cage instead of a tank. Mine is fine in a tank, just do your homework to provide what it needs. They don't need heat or lights at all. Just little gutloaded crickets, fruit baby food, and they even make a crested diet (mine doesn't like it, but I still offer it to him). They are nocturnal, like Leos, and he only moves around at night.
