Frequently Asked Questions
What size enclosure does a crested gecko need?
An adult crested gecko needs a minimum 18x18x24 inch enclosure. Larger is always better. We recommend vertical terrariums since crested geckos are arboreal.
What is the best food for crested geckos?
Commercial crested gecko diets like Pangea and Repashy are nutritionally complete. Supplement with occasional live insects (crickets, dubia roaches) for enrichment.
What humidity level do crested geckos need?
Crested geckos need 60-80% humidity. Mist the enclosure twice daily and use a quality hygrometer to monitor levels.
Do crested geckos need UVB lighting?
While not strictly required, UVB lighting (5.0) is beneficial for vitamin D3 synthesis and overall health. We recommend low-level UVB for all setups.
