Crested Gecko Identification tools: what they help with
These tools help you work out exactly what you have: breed or species identifiers, morph guides and step-by-step sexing guides for crested gecko owners. Identification is not just curiosity. Breed or species affects adult size, lifespan, diet and the right care, and sex matters for housing and breeding.
What to know about identification and sexing for crested geckos
Crested geckos typically live 15 to 20 years. Crested geckos are arboreal and need a tall planted enclosure rather than a wide one, kept at room temperature between 22-26C. They thrive on prepared powdered diets and cannot tolerate heat above 28C.
