Origin: New Caledonia (Near Australia) Size: 8-9 inches Temperature: 75-80F Food: Mainly fruit with insects twice a week. Commercial fruit baby foods are perfect with a good quality vitamin powder mixed in. Life Span: 10 Years Description: Crested Geckos are little lizards that will provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are nocturnal so usually wake up around 7:00 in the evening, while spending the daytime curled up in the leaves of plants. When awake they are very active, climbing up the glass walls (thanks to the sticky toes which make them excellent climbers) jumping from branch to branch and searching for food. They are also very friendly, are easily handled and will quickly get to know their owners.
