    They are my favorite geckos. Feed them small crickets and Repashy crested diet.I feed and mist mine at night. Provide a hide place, plants, branches for climbing. My baby was kept in a 15 gallon tank now in a 20high. Let me know if you need more info

    They are a temperate species and like things at room temp, which makes them quite appealing to most because the average household provides optimal temperatures and therefore no need for any lighting or heat source. Keep them in the 70's and they will thrive, do not exceed 85 degrees and do not go below 65 for extended periods of time.

    As Sharman Wisdom said, they are quite easy, and they make great pets. Crested geckos are probably my favorite gecko that I have kept. We can give you all the info you need on proper care, etc just let us know!

    Here is a very good basic caresheet to guide you:
