I usually don't comment much but I just have to say I love your work! I have been subbed to you for over a few yrs now and I just admire what you do and how much hard work and care that goes into everything you do. You and Emzotic opened up my respect and love for reptiles I now happily care for a leopard gecko, crested gecko and three toads ;P Thank you so much for all the great tips and tricks to having reptiles. xo
I definitely recommend a 12"x12"x18" for a baby crestie, that's what I used. Some people use a tiny carrier for a hatchling, which works well too. They're sooooo small ❤
Awesome :) It might give you an idea of how much everything will come to, but I will warn you, a lot of pet shop employees are clueless (there are some exceptions), but yeah take what they say with a pinch of salt lol
I got a hatchling in September and she went straight into a 45x45x60 fully bioactive tank and shes thriving, just made sure she was eating drinking and pooing, handled her everyday after a week of leaving her alone and I’ve never had a lizard act the way she does, the tamest gecko i have ever come across! :) now waiting to upgrade her to the 90x45x60 !!
Woo Crested gecko fam unite! I kept Ziri in a big critter keeper to monitor her as a tiny baby (she was a couple months old). I curled in a fake vine in there to let her have cover of course so that worked well to start. I readied her big 18 X 18 X 36 tank during that time. Once she was about 6-7 months I moved her in. I made sure she had a lot of hides as well as 2 food bowls (one above the "canopy" one below. She found her food fine and found all sorts of spots to sleep. She is now 2 years old and still doing really well. The main thing is she has grown skittish of people but I think this was not due to the tank but my lack of handling for a short while. I have to get her used to me all over again but hey, its part of the deal when raising exotics.
aww that's great to hear about the tank. With handling, yeah you've got to be quite consistent, but yeah we have them for so many years, plenty of time to bond :)
Yeah, I find it all a little fishy - they're handing out free tanks left right and centre to get reptile 'influencers' to promote them. I swear these tanks you can buy super cheap in bulk from china too. 😬
I got my baby girl from a friend’s mom at 1 week old. Started in a small kritter keeper with paper towel for about 2 months then went to a 12x12x18 with repti carpet for a few months and she was bouncing around everywhere so I slapped that dude in a 18x18x24 which she’s in now at 5 months old with eco earth. She finds her food n goes all over the place! Each morning its fun to see where she’s decided to sleep for the day.
Like that you pointed out that information about the screen on Zen Habitats enclosures. I’ve always disliked the mesh because it’s SO fine that I really wonder how UVB can pass through effectively and installing it inside looks like a pain. Didn’t know about the zinc oxide though..that’s very scary since they’re marketing toward tropical species now. 😳
I’m hoping to get my first crestie in the summer! I am planning to get an older gecko (maybe 3-7 years old) Any tips for getting my first reptile? (I have amphibian and small pet experience, including hamsters, axolotls, frogs, dogs and fish)
We have a custom made 40 x 40 x 80 with sliding doors for our Crestie and gives him so much room to climb about in. Jungle Dawn, ShadeDweller and a Zoo Med nano basking bulb.
I have two geckos. I was thinking about getting a 24x24x49 gallon tank and butting a border in between so it’s like two tanks. Is 49 inch tall too tall?
Hey, this is very helpful full because I'm thinking of getting a crested gecko for my birthday and I was about to ask for a 12inch by 12inch by 18inch and never upgrade, but this video saved me.
what type of plant is on the left, front side of her enclosure? it’s looks super pretty and i’m looking to buy something like it for my crestie Emmy! is it a snake plant?
@@leopardgeckotalk I’ve searched everywhere I literally had a mental breakdown and just tore my room apart looking for him, I love him so much but he’s just a juvenile I don’t think he could make it that long without food or water?
How do you replace the mesh then? If like to use UVB but it is a black mesh..can I still use the black mesh but also continue dusting crickets lightly with d3 to combat the fact that I have black screentop?
How do you acclimate your crested gecko? Yours seems to like hanging out with you and I'm trying to figure out how long you left yours alone and any tricks to make them less skiddish when trying to reach in and change food bowl..spot clean..ect..he enjoys hand feeding but then acts like he doesn't know me if I didn't bring the food XD haha..only had him 1 week. Have not handled yet even in transferring him to his new home
I have a very very active crested gecko, he is in an 12x12x18 (inches) but I fell it’s too small because he always look bored. But the only other tank I have access to is an 18x18x18 (inches)is this okay for an adult crested gecko for a permanent home?
What sized tank would you recommend for two crested Gecko's, i get conflicting advice (this is for a pair of female Gecko's, already used to cohabitation elsewhere, but only using the 45x45x60, which seems a bit small)
Can someone answer my question? I have a leopard gecko. I have tile over the heat mat ans soil in the rest of tank can I put soil over the heatmat will ot hold heat very well?
I have a some doubts between 2 tanks i can buy second hand (both exo terra) one is 90x45x60 and the other one is 45x45x90. which one is better for 1 crested gecko?
I currently have a 30 gallon leopard gecko tank with hides all over (about 6 hides) Do you think I need to go bigger because I have enough to get my crested gecko and I have done all my research but I just wanted a opinion on what u should get
First off crested geckos don't need a lot of light false information black mesh doesn't make that big of a difference another false information, please inform people correctly not with Miss information pathetic
I have a small fan that I use when the temperatures get really hot. What I do to prevent it from getting to dry is doing several light misting throughout the day. However, a slightly dryer tank in the day isn’t always a bad thing. Crested Geckos do better with a heavy misting at night when they are most active. You can also fill a small bowl with water as a secondary drinking source.
Yeah I used to have those USB desk fans and I'd put them on top - which is quite good for the air flow of the tank too, but yes you need to keep up with the misting.
With all the videos and tank upgrades here using Custom Reptile Habitats tanks, I've been working on a bioactive using their 24 L x 24 W x 36 H (inches) for my crestie. Filling it has been difficult but I bet he's going to be happy as heck when he realizes it's his new home! Thank you for the inspiration :)
Is it safe for the deep heat projector to be directly on top of the mesh? Ive been looking into getting a DHP, but I’ve caught my crestie climbing on the mesh at times and that worries me :0
I personally have a 90x45x45 exo terra for my crested gecko and she uses all the space. For a baby/hatchling a 30×30×45 is fine as my gecko had one. She was tiny and she managed to find her food.
Good morning from Canada! 🇨🇦 I thought I might add a few things in regards to housing baby Crested Geckos. You are correct that they NEED to be in a smaller enclosure. However, it is best to wait until they are between 10-15 grams instead of months. Usually they will reach this goal by the time they are 5 months old. Most breeders recommend a small diy tub that is at the suggested size that you gave. New owners can also use the larger critter keepers as well. For my baby girl I had her in the Exo Terra Mini Wide (12x12x12) as a baby. I found the Mini Wide the easiest to build an interactive enclosure that she felt safe in. The final enclosure I have her in now is the Exo Terra Medium Tall (18x18x24). If you have a pair together you will want them to be in the Medium Tall XL (24x18x24). Few other important tips! DO NOT put live feed in your Baby Crested Geckos tank! Crickets have been know to attack a babies eyes for food when left in the enclosure for several days. Instead, put the baby in a small tub that has paper towel. The feeding enclosure will allow you to supervise. Refrain from giving your Gecko any live feed until you know they are eating wet food. Babies will often hold out for crickets which do not provide all the nutrients they need. If your baby is struggling with eating wet food; use a syringe to hand feed them. Not only does this allow for bonding time, but it lets you know that they’re eating. Make sure your weighing them weekly. Doing regular weigh ins on a micro scale will help you track growth milestones. You will also know when they are underweight and need a change in their feeding schedule.
You and your channel have inspired me to finally get a crested gecko for myself! I’m making a diy natuaralistic background in a bio active tank just like ur geckos! I think I’ve watched ur how to make a diy background like 30 times lol. Thanks again!
I have 1.0 c.cilliatus in the 90x45x90 exo and wouldnt go smaller because 1. my gecko definetly uses all the space and 2. c.cilliatus is a really active species. It is in there since it is a hatchling and i never had problems. Probably too small tanks with c.cilliatus are one big reason why so many of them are so obese...
I'll probably use a smaller enclosure for a bit till my closet enclosures are done cus those enclosures will be big (like my leo's will get 6ftlong3ftwide2fthigh enclosures) so my crested gecko will hopefully like it when I get them
I think it would be really cool if you could make another video of your crested geckos just being themselves and giving some tips, as I have just gotten a crestie and am new to the process
There is a nice big playlist on her channel full of stuff for cresties. Lyra doesn't get as much spotlight but she is still on the channel a bunch! I found that playlist super helpful when I was planning on getting mine a couple years ago.
Hi so my leopard gecko is like 1 year old and he had bad shed he lost his toe nail and he was bleeding from his toe and He had some stuck shed on his face and I didn’t add enough water so now he has a red spot will this red spot go away and how do I not let his toes get and infection thanks you so very much and love you’re vids
Hi,what are your thoughts on habistat enclosures im thinking of getting the largest and going bioactive for a crested or maybe a Gargoyle. Im in Wales.thanks.
In the future when I have the money I will try to convince my dad to let me get a crested gecko. As I won’t have lots of money, is it ok to get a 18x18x24 for a baby? So I don’t have to buy a new terrarium later. What if I feed it outside the terrarium? That way it won’t have to find its food.
Thank you as always for your great videos, off topic of geckos, but on topic for this video, there is a low level, bell/chimes I can hear what is that coming from
I’ve gone bigger with my juvenile Chahoua gecko Squidgy exo 60/45/90 . I had a good think about it . Looked at your videos. Comes out from nowhere when I call out Bugs & Pangea and it comes shooting out . Then runs up its favourite branch or its paracord bridge its got walkways 😁 it’s got loads of climbing areas . It’s in its element & it loves the DHP . Smudgie my crested also bug crazy sits on its coconut awaiting them . I hate it when people say they only have one brain cell and say they are clumsy hunters. My Smudgie is an epic hunter . I drop the dusted bugs twice a week onto her net and she leaps on them and never misses !
Any way of you can get in contact with me so I can email you a picture of a crested gecko from a pet smart? The thing looks like it hasn’t been fed in a year, and I think it even might have tail rot can’t tell though
Your playlist really helps me I watched all of your leopard gecko videos before I got a leopard gecko and now I’m planning on getting a crested and I’m about to watch your whole playlist about cresties🤣
I don't recommend it for everyone, but I had a breeding pair in a custom built enclosure that is four ft long, two and a half feet wide and eight ft tall. The two went about the entire thing nightly. For a month or so. There is a constant lamp on one side keeping it around 75-80 give or take the time if day. A stable and stationary area was assigned for food which they found fairly easy and has a running source of water roughly even in height to the food source. Only reason they aren't still in it together was a leak of the water source.
New caledonia climate = 25c in summer and 20c in winter with 30c max in summer and 17c min in winter. This is not roomtemp everywhere in the world. Maybe if it's really too hot for a few days in the summer, place a bucket of ice over the enclosure, it will cool the air around and the cold air will fall gently inside the enclosure. Beware of water droplets from condensation, put a towel under the bucket or something like that. Remove it when the temps are cool enough.
I live in an upstairs maisonette and all our rooms are upstairs. In the summer it gets extremely hot so I put freezer blocks on top of the mesh on one side, the cool air sinks into the Terrarium and the warm air condenses on the blocks and drips into the tank. I swap them continuously as the blocks warm up (I have about ten in my freezer so I can rotate them and always have frozen ones ready). I also have an aircon for when the temps hit the nineties indoors!!. Downstairs keeps all her windows shut so all the heat from her place rises into ours :0(
I need help . I’m moving across the country and I have a leopard gecko . I want to take her with me of course as safe as possible . How should I go about this 🥺! (I’m traveling in a plane)
Have you ever planned on getting an emerald tree skink it is like a crestie with lower humidity and it is way more bond able while technically crested gecko don't have feeling these guys do.and where animals tolerate handling emerald tree enjoy it
do I plan on getting a crested gecko? no. Did I get really excited when I saw this video? absolutely.
haha thank you :)
I just got my first gargoyle gecko and I'm really excited to move him into his big enclosure someday! This video was quite timely :D

Bigger is kinda better in this situation
Hello. Do you think i can put a pair of crested geckos in a exo terra large x tall terrarium?
Crested geckos are solitary animals and should not be housed together. It’s stressful and risky for them.
I have a very very active crested gecko, he is in an 12x12x18 (inches) but I fell it’s too small because he always look bored. But the only other tank I have access to is an 18x18x18 (inches)is this okay for an adult crested gecko for a permanent home?
What sized tank would you recommend for two crested Gecko's, i get conflicting advice (this is for a pair of female Gecko's, already used to cohabitation elsewhere, but only using the 45x45x60, which seems a bit small)
don’t cohabitate them at all even if they’re used to it. there are absolutely no benefits, and only risks, they don’t enjoy each other’s company.
Can someone answer my question? I have a leopard gecko. I have tile over the heat mat ans soil in the rest of tank can I put soil over the heatmat will ot hold heat very well?
Heyyyyyy can you please tell me were I can find that tank you use for you're Leo's 🙏🙏🙏
Woah in the UK they sell them in metric? In Canada they sell them using imperial sizes, and I live in the most U.K loving part
I have a some doubts between 2 tanks i can buy second hand (both exo terra) one is 90x45x60 and the other one is 45x45x90. which one is better for 1 crested gecko?
Me not owning a single reptile but still watching the video because why not 🦎🙃
my cresties 6months old and 4grams should i be worried
Yes
Yes thats really underweight
How is it now?
Would you recommend the Exo Terra large Extra tall (36x18x36 inches) for an adult crestie?
That would be great! Just be sure to fill it up with plenty of clutter and coverage.
can you do a video like this but for leopard geckos
i like this channel
I just got a leopard gecko today and I wanted to know if i needed to have the heating lamp on all the the time. Also I haven’t named it yet.
Turn the heat lamp off at night.
Ok
I bought my creatie only 10 days old is that ok ?
Crestie
I currently have a 30 gallon leopard gecko tank with hides all over (about 6 hides) Do you think I need to go bigger because I have enough to get my crested gecko and I have done all my research but I just wanted a opinion on what u should get
30 gallons is more than enough. Just make sure you have the tank oriented so the gecko has as much vertical climb space as possible.
I’m watching this even though I only have a leopard gecko 😅
How could I tell the gender of my crested gecko?
Second
First
First off crested geckos don't need a lot of light false information black mesh doesn't make that big of a difference another false information, please inform people correctly not with Miss information pathetic
Sources?
I find that fans really dry out the tank and it makes you panic when all of the water is gone in 15
I have a small fan that I use when the temperatures get really hot. What I do to prevent it from getting to dry is doing several light misting throughout the day. However, a slightly dryer tank in the day isn’t always a bad thing. Crested Geckos do better with a heavy misting at night when they are most active. You can also fill a small bowl with water as a secondary drinking source.
Yeah I used to have those USB desk fans and I'd put them on top - which is quite good for the air flow of the tank too, but yes you need to keep up with the misting.
it took me about a year for my girl to be comfortable to come out to me, we usually sit and watch tv with the screen dimmed
Awww :D Yeah they can take a little while, but 100% worth it :D
With all the videos and tank upgrades here using Custom Reptile Habitats tanks, I've been working on a bioactive using their 24 L x 24 W x 36 H (inches) for my crestie. Filling it has been difficult but I bet he's going to be happy as heck when he realizes it's his new home! Thank you for the inspiration :)
Ah that's brilliant, yeah so many places to explore! :D
Is it safe for the deep heat projector to be directly on top of the mesh? Ive been looking into getting a DHP, but I’ve caught my crestie climbing on the mesh at times and that worries me :0

The final enclosure I have her in now is the Exo Terra Medium Tall (18x18x24). If you have a pair together you will want them to be in the Medium Tall XL (24x18x24).
Few other important tips!
DO NOT put live feed in your Baby Crested Geckos tank! Crickets have been know to attack a babies eyes for food when left in the enclosure for several days. Instead, put the baby in a small tub that has paper towel. The feeding enclosure will allow you to supervise.
Refrain from giving your Gecko any live feed until you know they are eating wet food. Babies will often hold out for crickets which do not provide all the nutrients they need.

In the future when I have the money I will try to convince my dad to let me get a crested gecko. As I won’t have lots of money, is it ok to get a 18x18x24 for a baby? So I don’t have to buy a new terrarium later. What if I feed it outside the terrarium? That way it won’t have to find its food.
Thank you as always for your great videos, off topic of geckos, but on topic for this video, there is a low level, bell/chimes I can hear what is that coming from
I have a 45x45x90 is that a good size, I’m worried I got too big. I haven’t got one yet.
Would a tank between 120 and 150 gallon be too big for an adult crested gecko
i swear youtubers read my mind........
Is stainless steel ok for the mesh?
ive seen many other successful creators reccomend something smaller is this absolutely necessary for a healthy gecko ?
its one thing to say this is what I recommend its another thing to say this is what you need or you're abusing your crested gecko
where do you get your Dubia roaches from
hi i just got my first one hope you are well
I’ve gone bigger with my juvenile Chahoua gecko Squidgy exo 60/45/90 . I had a good think about it . Looked at your videos. Comes out from nowhere when I call out Bugs & Pangea and it comes shooting out . Then runs up its favourite branch or its paracord bridge its got walkways 😁 it’s got loads of climbing areas . It’s in its element & it loves the DHP . Smudgie my crested also bug crazy sits on its coconut awaiting them . I hate it when people say they only have one brain cell and say they are clumsy hunters. My Smudgie is an epic hunter . I drop the dusted bugs twice a week onto her net and she leaps on them and never misses !
Any way of you can get in contact with me so I can email you a picture of a crested gecko from a pet smart? The thing looks like it hasn’t been fed in a year, and I think it even might have tail rot can’t tell though
Today's my 18th birthday!! 🎂🎉
Happy Birthday!! :D :D
where do you get all of your geckos?
Are you aloud to use sticks and rocks you found outside for a leopard gecko tank
So long as the sticks arent pine or cedar, there are ways to sanitize them and make them safe.
Make sure it's a safe wood type. ALOT of woods can be toxic. And I always bake in the oven to kill parasites and stuffs.
4th lol
Your playlist really helps me I watched all of your leopard gecko videos before I got a leopard gecko and now I’m planning on getting a crested and I’m about to watch your whole playlist about cresties🤣
What are the measurements for the stand/shelving you’re using for the exo terra enclosures?
I don't recommend it for everyone, but I had a breeding pair in a custom built enclosure that is four ft long, two and a half feet wide and eight ft tall. The two went about the entire thing nightly. For a month or so. There is a constant lamp on one side keeping it around 75-80 give or take the time if day. A stable and stationary area was assigned for food which they found fairly easy and has a running source of water roughly even in height to the food source. Only reason they aren't still in it together was a leak of the water source.
New caledonia climate = 25c in summer and 20c in winter with 30c max in summer and 17c min in winter. This is not roomtemp everywhere in the world. Maybe if it's really too hot for a few days in the summer, place a bucket of ice over the enclosure, it will cool the air around and the cold air will fall gently inside the enclosure. Beware of water droplets from condensation, put a towel under the bucket or something like that. Remove it when the temps are cool enough.
I live in an upstairs maisonette and all our rooms are upstairs. In the summer it gets extremely hot so I put freezer blocks on top of the mesh on one side, the cool air sinks into the Terrarium and the warm air condenses on the blocks and drips into the tank. I swap them continuously as the blocks warm up (I have about ten in my freezer so I can rotate them and always have frozen ones ready). I also have an aircon for when the temps hit the nineties indoors!!. Downstairs keeps all her windows shut so all the heat from her place rises into ours :0(
I need help . I’m moving across the country and I have a leopard gecko . I want to take her with me of course as safe as possible . How should I go about this 🥺! (I’m traveling in a plane)
Have you ever planned on getting an emerald tree skink it is like a crestie with lower humidity and it is way more bond able while technically crested gecko don't have feeling these guys do.and where animals tolerate handling emerald tree enjoy it
So if it’s night time do I turn the heat Matt off and light lamp off or do I leave heat Matt on but cut the light lamp off?
my crested gecko thinks its a leopard gecko, everytime I turn on the lamp it goes under it and lays flat
Are cake umbrellas (like the toothpic and paper ones) ok in my leopard gecko raptors tank?
