Shopping Checklist

How do I set up a terrarium?

    Eyelash crested geckos can live in groups, but do not house two males in a tank. One gecko needs a minimum of a 20-gallon tank, 20" high, with a screened lid.
    Line the habitat with reptile carpet or 2-3" of coconut fiber, moss or bark bedding. Remove droppings and spot-clean frequently; change the bedding monthly.
    Add a rock or wood decor for hiding, and live or artificial branches for climbing. Mist habitat daily.
    Eyelash crested geckos require a temperature gradient (warm on top and cool on the bottom).
    Use a low- wattage heat bulb or a ceramic heat emitter to provide warmth. Turn the heat element off for 12 hours at night, as long as the ambient room temperature does not drop below 65°F (18°C).
    Equip the habitat with two thermometers (one at the top and one at the bottom) to measure the temperature, and a hygrometer to measure humidity.
    For more information, consult PetSmart's "Reptile & Amphibian Heating & Lighting" and "Setting Up a Reptile or Amphibian Habitat" Care Guides.

What do crested geckos eat?

    Feed young crested geckos once daily to once every other day: gut loaded crickets or dubia roaches. Feed adult crested geckos once weekly: gut loaded crickets or dubia roaches.
    Dust young crested geckos insects with calcium 2-3x a week and a reptile multivitamin once a week. Dust adult crested geckos insects with calcium powder 2-3x a week and a reptile multivitamin 2x a month, or as directed by your veterinarian.
    Cleaned daily and provided at all times.
    Always offer a nutritionally balanced powdered diet (insects may also be dusted with this powder).
