Hi
I've planning on getting some gecko's soon and wondered if someone could tell me the main differences in terms or care required, between leopard and crested geckos?

I am often away for a couple of days so though leopard geckos would be ideal as they can safely be left for 2 days, but is the same true of crested geckos or do they require daily attention (misting etc?)

Thanks

when they are young daily misting is advised but when they get above about 6 months so long as the humidity stays high enough there is only really a need to mist about once a week.

If you kept the cresteds on a compacted damp peat substrate then you would be fine leaving them for a couple of days at a time (so long as they have drinking water and food).

Cresteds are very simple to care for, the biggest advantage I find is that no extra heat is needed if your house is average temps 76/77f and you can feed them CGD powder diet and not need live insects.
