CRESTED GECKO Care Guide

Crested geckos are a very popular pet and for a great reason! Crested geckos are adorable, and their care is friendly for beginner reptile keepers.

But crested geckos aren't just for beginners, We think both beginners and advanced keepers will enjoy crested geckos.

The creator of this video tells how I care for her crested geckos. It is known that there are many different ways to care for crested geckos, and this is just one way. All information in this video is based on her own personal experience with crested geckos.

Captive care

First of all, it should be noted that the terrarium for this type of reptile must be much higher than it is long. Crested geckos have very strong limbs with fingers ending in sticky organs, lamellae, which is why they love to climb and jump from branch to branch.

Thus, the ideal measurements of the terrarium for a couple can be 60 centimeters high by 45 centimeters wide and long.

If you intend to house a trio, it is best to increase the height of the installation up to one meter, but be careful: the males are extremely territorial. Trios must always be made up of two women and one man.

Their diet consists of fruits and insects and, fortunately, specialized stores sell porridge prepared for these animals at reduced prices. Even so, these meals should always be accompanied by live food—crickets, cockroaches, and worms—as we must not forget that this lizard is a predator.

Regarding environmental parameters, the crested gecko needs a humidity of 60% to 80% and a temperature of 18 to 28 degrees. Temperature can be easily modulated with a heating blanket and thermostat, but humidity is a bit more complex.

A difficult parameter to control

In general, it is possible to keep the necessary humidity for the crested gecko within these limits with the following advice:

• A glass terrarium: despite having to have adequate ventilation with strategically placed metal grills, this type of glass installation accumulates moisture a little better.
• Daily fogging: the use of a fogger first thing in the morning and at night, in addition to simulating the lizard's natural environment, allows for adequate humidity parameters.
• Place lots of plants and greenery in the terrarium.
• Using an automatic rain system: this is the most expensive option, but certainly the most effective.
• This system is responsible for spraying water in the terrarium automatically according to the orders of the tutor.
• Place a hygrometer inside the terrarium: a humidity meter that can be easily attached to the glass.
• It is a very economical and useful tool.
• Use a substrate at the base of the terrarium that retains moisture, such as coconut fiber.
