Breed Crested Gecko —
Wow, where to begin! These lizards are about one of the easiest lizards you can take care of! They don't require a "heat" source! Just a tall tank, (I have a 40 gallon tall tank), a tree branch to climb up, a lid (duh!), a log to lay under, indoor/outdoor carpeting, and maybe a food dish, and a lamp, that should only have a 40 watt bulb in it, on during the day light hours only! We got started on Crested about 2 years ago! They are a bit pricey to start out with, ($40-100+) but can (okay, should) live between 15 - 20+ years! We currently have three, and lucked out that we have 2 females and 1 male. You can not "sex" this breed until they are about 1 year old! The males are very territorial, so 1 per tank is standard. BUT again, they can not be sexed until they are about a year old!Standard pet stores sell these, and they are usually very knowledgeable about the age, and what they will eat. I buy a crested gecko powder that I mix with water, and then add some baby food (fruit flavored) to help them get the fruits that they would out in the wild. Also, we have a 35 gallon long, and I buy 1,000 crickets every 5 or 6 weeks, and they (the 3 of them) go through about a dozen every 2 days! I also use a calcium dust on the crickets, which I gut load at home with calcium food, so that the crested get a decent amount of calcium! Well, I could go on for a while long, however, if you have any questions, feel free to email me!
