So I fell in. I got my crested gecko. And (hopefully she) is a beautiful Harlequin Crested. She has some amazing contrast.
And now, I want to find her a cage mate.. I want a double blonde, or a lighter crested morph. If she turns out to be male, because there are currently no pores present, then I will give breeding a go in the future.

However. I have a couple questions. A lot has been covered and I have my shopping list down.
I remember hearing somewhere that they can drown? So if I do have standing water, it has to be very shallow right?

Any breeders suggested that could have a lighter morph available?

Also, I have been unable to find any information on substrate. Is there any substrate that is BAD for cresteds? I have aspen right now, and will be switching to a cypress mulch.

Thanks!
(I'll post pictures soon, as well as of my new rescue bp!)
