Hey, does anyone know if cresties can be housed with other geckos with similar requirements?
Or will they fight?
I have seen them with gargoyles and flying's but was not sure if it was temporary?

I'm not saying it can't be done, but I would personally keep the viv 'pure'
even though I would love a community viv, it takes a lot of care.
Vosjoli? says that you can house them with a type of skink (can anyone enlighten me) but i'm not sure.

De Vosjoli (Rhac book) does say you can house them with Pink Tongued skinks. I haven't tried it so I don't know how well it works. I personally would keep only Cresteds in the viv. Gargoyles can be aggressive - tail biting for expample.

as others have said, Yes it can be done but I would highly recommend you get some 'crested' experiance first, then as your confidence and experiance grows you can start to research multi-species vivs.

Buy this book


It will give you some pointers about multi-species vivs plus great info on all Rhaco's

Okay, cool thanks guys!
It was just out of interest really, 'coz i've seen it done in zoos etc. but wasn't sure if they were safe!
