Recommended Enclosure: A 20 gallon or 18x18x18 terrarium is suitable for 1 adult, but there's nothing wrong with providing extra space. A 29 gallon tank or 18x18x24 will comfortably house 2 adults. Be careful when cohabiting crested geckos, especially of the opposite sex. Coco Fibre or a mix of coco fibre and peat moss works well as a substrate. Provide branches, standing cork, or tall or hanging plants to make your arboreal geckos feel at home.
Feeding: Crested Geckos are omnivores. They thrive on a staple diet of fruit mixes and may also be offered crickets or dubia roaches. Waxworms, black soldier fly larvae, and butterworms make a great occasional treat. All feeder insects should be dusted with a vitamin/mineral supplement and fed in an escape proof bowl.
