Care for cresteds and gargoyles are pretty much exactly the same. They both love climbing and jumping and tall cages are loved by them and they both love Crested Gecko Diet for food but they have very different personalities.
Cresties are super sweet and laid back and can be housed together as long as there is only one male in the tank. We have our cresties in a medium tall one male with two females and lots of hiding spots and everyday we find that at least two of them are chilling out together. Interesting thing we have noticed is when we dig for eggs in our crestie cage our females will start acting weird and will sprint down to the soil where we are getting their eggs. Not sure if that is a common behavior but thats what ours do.
For gargoyles its best to house all of them seperately because they will scrap with each other and can be nasty to each other from time to time from babies to adults. But we have successfully kept our breeding trio of gargoyles (one male and two females) together in one cage but they are in an exo terra medium extra tall cage (much larger cage than our cresties) with tons and tons of hiding places (so many that we almost never see them out and about in the cage except on a few occasions in the middle of the night) that way they can get away from each other. They still do scrap with each other but its not very often and no one has had a bad injury, just "disagreements" between them. For just starting out with them I highly recommend housing them seperately at first until you get more comfortable with your geckos and you know the sex of your gargoyles.
For both cresties and gargoyles, if you want to breed in the future it never hurts to add more calcium supplements to their CGD (crested gecko diet). All of ours love bananas too as an occasional treat. Again, do not house males together.
If you have any more questions on cresties or gargoyles feel free to message me![]()
