Crested Gecko Q's
Lately, these little guys have caught my interest. I was wondering if anyone had experience in keeping them? Any pointers on the best spots to start some research?

RE: Crested Gecko Q's
Not really... probably the best part of working at a petstore, though, is playing with the reptiles in my downtime, so I've held one plenty of times. They are pretty laid back from what I've seen. They can be fast if they feel like it but are usually pretty relaxed.

MY personal favorite is that the food they make for them that we feed ours smells REALLY good and makes their entire enclosure smell like a banana smoothie... big plus, IMO! Big Grin

RE: Crested Gecko Q's
I have two cresties, and both of mine can be a little jumpy, but that's probably my fault for not working with them more. They are super easy to keep and don't need live food. You should check out TFO's sister site, http://www.geckotalk.com/index.php for some good info.

RE: Crested Gecko Q's
http://www.pangeareptile.com/forums/index.php and http://www.forums.repashy.com/ are both also great places to start. Both have care sheets, and are great forums over all.

Crested geckos are great little animals. I'm personally more infatuated with their close relatives, the Gargoyle geckos, but it's hard to resist a nice pinstripe Crestie! (I don't actually own any; have my hands--and wishlist--plenty full already.. LOL. My experience with both is mostly from working at a pet store.)

RE: Crested Gecko Q's
I've kept them before. Very awesome and personable, especially of you want a small lizard that doesn't require live insects.

RE: Crested Gecko Q's
Another plus to these guys is they don't require supplimental heating or UVB. They do great at room temp (upper 60s to low 70s). Mine are breeding at 68 degrees (two clutches since August out of 1.3 colony).
