Crested geckos are a favorite among reptile enthusiasts thanks to their unique look and simple care needs. Here’s how to set up the perfect home for your new crested gecko.
Choosing the Right Enclosure
A vertical tank is best, as crested geckos love to climb. A 20-gallon tall tank is sufficient for one adult gecko.
Temperature and Humidity
Maintain temperatures between 72–78°F and humidity around 60–80%. Regular misting helps maintain humidity levels.
Substrate and Decor
Use a moisture-retentive substrate like coconut fiber. Add lots of climbing branches, plants, and hiding spots to mimic their natural environment.
Feeding
Crested geckos primarily eat commercial gecko diet powder mixed with water. Occasional live insects can be offered as treats.
