Can anyone share some info on crested geckos ? ive fallen in love with the little guys ! i have been doing abit of research on them , havent told the other half yet that i REAAAAALY want one , i said i want one for my birthday and got a flat no . theres time i have until october! i saw some advertised and it said they could come with a exo terra flat faunarium as they are babies , what else can they be kept in ? i kno that they dont need additional heat unless ur house goes very cold in the winter . and that they like baby food in fruit flavours , and bugs no bigger than the gap between their eyes . but can u tell me more about how often they shed ? housing idea's ? im assuming u cant use rubs ? any help would be much appreciated :)

Take a look on my o/h website there's a care sheet on there ;)

We keep our bunch in a exo terra terrarium with 2 adults in a 45x45x60

And the o/h build a 20x20x30 glass terrarium with a lid for our babies

And we have our latest female popcorn in a 30x30x45 exo terra terrarium

Some people say baby food not very good for cresties

We use

Repashy crested gecko diet it can be used on it's own as a complete diet
or you can dust crickets and feed them to it 2-3 times a week

We also buy strawberries , bananas , mango blend them up and scoop it into ice cubes freeze them till we need one defrost and serve
We tend to mix say bananas and strawberries together or leave them as one

P.s good choice in lizard ;)

We handle ours about 1/3 times a week not to cause much stress

I haven't kept a record on how other they shed as there up in the bedroom and they eat there own shed
