Dragon rescue success

[RAD House]

I have been interested in adding a lizard to my collection for awhile now, but there are a few reasons I have no yet jumped on one. The first reason is that I do not want to even risk releasing bugs into my house. Ever since I was a kid I have been creeped out by crickets. I am aware that it is irrational and certainly doesn't make me seem very manly but it is the truth. The second reason is with all the snakes I currently keep space is at a minimum. The third and probably most important is that my wife might leave me if I spend much more money on reptiles. I have looked around and only a few species meet these requirements.

I have a weird obsession with looking at the craigslist pet section. I realize most people on here do as well, but it is weird because even though I often inquire about a pet I usually never buy anything. Well why searching through the adds I found one of the many crested geckos listed I stumbled upon a two year old character of a gecko. I inquired about him to find out that not only are his lights not on a thermostat but also feed him nothing but crickets and mealworms. I just had to rescue the little guy, especially since they wanted less than what the cage he came in cost. So I am considering this my first rescue as I know he will be much better off with the Pangea and new planted version of his old home. After a month long quarantine period on paper towels of course, luckily he seems to be pretty healthy.

Finally I named the only name I think is reasonable for the little bugger, Dragon. I will get some pictures of him later so he can settle in a bit. As I am a new to geckos do any of have any advice not normally found in care guides.
