Re: Dante the Crested Gecko (Pic Heavy)
Cute little gecko. The biggest advice I can give you is to make sure the temp in his cage never gets above 82-83F. Temps 85F and above can quickly kill a crestie. The ideal temp range is 70-80. However, the temps can get down into the high 60s without causing any problems.
Another quick tip: While he's new, it will help to use paper towels as a substrate. That way, you can easily monitor if he's pooping. Pooping=eating, since they generally eat at night and you probably won't see him eating.
Congrats and I hope this helps! :cool:

Just wait until he jumps on your face! Mine learned that lesson the hard way - I hadn't shaved for about 2 or 3 days, so it was a bit of a prickly landing for her. :)
