Our Crested Gecko Care Guide

 Temperatures

Crested geckos like cool temperatures. Too hot or too cold is lethal. High 60s– mid 70s are idea. Temps in the range of low 80s will be lethal. Cold temps, even for short times, will also be lethal.

Misting

Mist your Crested Gecko daily with the spray bottle. They will also drink from their water cup, but they will also lick water droplets off of the glass of their terrarium.  

Feeding

Please follow the feeding instructions listed on the flip side of this guide. Mix up the Pangea according to the package until it is approximately the consistency of toothpaste or baby food. Crested geckos also like to eat crickets dusted in calcium powder (Repashy calcium powder). Change the food cup out every other day.
