Crested Gecko Care Guide

Crested Gecko Care Guide

Crested geckos (Correlophus ciliatus) are one of the easiest reptiles to keep. They thrive at room temperature, eat a simple powdered diet, and come in stunning morph varieties including Harlequin, Dalmatian, Flame, and Lilly White.

Enclosure

18x18x24″ minimum for one adult. Bioactive setups with live plants work beautifully. Mist twice daily to maintain 60-80% humidity.

Diet

Pangea or Repashy crested gecko diet is a complete nutrition source. Supplement with live insects (dubia roaches, crickets) 1-2 times per week.

Temperature

68-78°F (room temperature). No basking light needed in most homes. Avoid temperatures above 82°F — cresties are sensitive to heat.
