If you use stuff laying around the house- only as much as you pay for the gecko ($10-15 at an expo). Use a rubbermaid tub, with some little containers as a hide, water dish, moisthide etc. If you keep your house warm like me- no heating elements are even needed, extremely easy to keep.

I agree that both are easy to keep, but I'd also like to add a couple things. Crested geckos shouldn't be fed a diet of only insects. The best choice is to feed Repashy crested gecko diet with occasional insects if desired. The CGD is completely balanced nutritionally.

Dehlida, do you really keep your house at 90 degrees?? That's insane, haha.
