A Crestie Can Be a Bestie
Crested Geckos aren't hard to discipline, making them one of the popular pets among beginners and expert reptile keepers. Being social animals, they are always alert, active, and enthusiastic in every human interaction. Their ‘new' home plays an important part in their overall well-being and development, as this is where they spend most of their time.
To know if your gecko is in good shape, you can check on this quick guide:
Good Skin and Clear Eyes, Nose and Vent - Eyes should never be dull or gloomy and don't show discharge just like the nose and vent. Regularly inspect his body for bruises, scrapes, or cuts.
Filling Appetite - Regular feeding is necessary, although this reppie is not the most intense eater. He may eat a small amount each day, but you have to refill their food bowl 3-4 times a week.
Activities - Despite being nocturnal, Cresties don't hide or sleep in one corner 24/7. They love to explore, climb, crawl, and stretch. The decorations in his enclosure should encourage these activities, and our Cholla Caves for them can contribute to this aspect.
Beauty and Beyond
Aside from having a physically fit gecko, placing our 2 dried coco wooden huts in their enclosure recreates their original habitat. It adds comfort, security, and an exciting ambiance, making them less anxious in their new home. The Cholla Cave also gives a rustic and zen-like beauty to your pet's vivarium, making it a great focal point in your house.
