Sorry for your poor wee gecko's franny
I've mainly gone off Scott's and a few others I found on the web (http://www.reptilecentre.com/care_sheets/crested_gecko.htm and http://www.pangeareptile.com/id52.htm) and my little guy seems be be doing well.
Using an exo-terra 60x60x45 with the light hood and reptiglow 2.0 and 5.0 bulbs, mainly for UV for plants and lighting but they add a few degree to the temps. About 75-77f usually and drop to 65-68 at nights, give it a spray of water every day after the lights go out.
I feed 1 day crickets and 1 day CGD. There's a few real and a few fake plants and some climbing vines, paper towel substrate at the moment.
Hope that helps. |
