 CRESTIES CARE

i reaaaaaally want some cresties! i am getting a crested gecko and am buying all my supplies on reptilesupply.com and was wondering if the T-Rex MRD crested gecko food is ok to feed. i am also buying a 15 gal tall tank off glasscages. com plus a screen top. is this large enough for 1? i want to get the crestie off pangeareptile. com is this a good soource? i live in southern california so its pretty hot year round, with a slight cooling in winter/ autom(aka now) is that ok if i just keep them at room temp and keep the humidity up? can you feed cresties criets or any live foods? or just fruits. let me know what you think!!

I would say do some research before you ask all these questions. Not trying to be mean, but you have to know lots about crestys if you want to keep one as a pet. I would say, pangea is an fair source though.

CGD is really all you need, but you could give it crickets once a week. there is a lot of info on Pangea as well as good products. Temps should be kept between 73 and 83 and you will need to spray the tank a few times per day. Cresties like lots of hiding places and like to be up high so getting some fake plants and vines would be helpful. Please don’t handle your new crestie until she/he has settled in for a while or the stress could cause him/her to lose their tail.
