Crested Gecko?

[Geofft]

Hi. I keep currently a leopard gecko. I was looking into a chameleon, but i dont know if im ready.... I have already built a 5 foot high, 3 foot long and a foot deep cage. I really dont want it to got to waste.... Could i put a couple of cresteds in that or is it TOO big....? If i could, what types of decorations should i put in..? i have a ficus tree right now..... And if i cant put in cresteds, are there any other moderately easy animals that i can put in it?

Thanks,
Geoff

yes, crested geckos would do great in a large enclosure. but not the babies, they need to be able to find their food.. so i would look for two adult Crested geckos. A male and a female..Good luck..

Ive cared for a leopard gecko, which i still have and some mantids, fish, and my dog... am i ready for cresteds? I wasnt sure i wanted to take the big step up to chameleons...

To be honest the enclosure size might be too big. There might be a issue of the cresties finding prey.

As for taking care of cresties, its just as easy if not easier then caring for leos.

Good Luck

You could put in big bamboo sticks or fake vines.

actually, i would think an adult could find food, i mean in the wild, they have a heck of a lot more room, ya know?

I don't think they are difficult to care for at all. I love the 3 i have..

well if u wanna handle them u'd have to thouroughly search the enclosure to get em out

I am going to put a large shelf in the cage for the water dish and hide houses..

the crickets would climb up teh screen to the platform because that is where the light is shining..
