I have a bunch. they are the easiest pet to keep.
A glass tank, a screen cage..both work. Just make sure it's on the tall side as they love to climb. I use live potted plants and pvc pipe for climbing and they love to hide inside during they day. The plants help the humidity too. If you have a pair, the female will need a box to lay her eggs. Some give a humid box to their's but I've tired that and mine don't go inside. They have a plant and i think that works the same way. looks better too.
Mist them morning and night and feed them Repashy's Crested Gecko Diet and crickets dusted with Repashy's Calcium Plus . They are a nocturnal gecko. These geckos have great personalities and you can hold them too where as the day geckos you can't do that. There are a lot of color varieties out there now. I have a few I didn't mean to keep that are just too funny and friendly...stuck now....LOL

They are nocturnal so you won't usually see them in the day unless they're sleeping. So most keepers do not use any source of UVB or special lighting. I keep my crested geckos at temps 70f 76f most of the year with moderately high RH no lower than 50% .I feed mostly crested gecko diet few times a week and few dusted crickets a week.I'll Mist few times in the night and I actually have one that prefers standing water so I have to use a water dish too. Thats just a basic idea of their needs.
