Best Answer

Crested geckos are a nocturnal species of gecko and do not require UVB lighting as a duirnal species of gecko would. A crested gecko can still use one but it is not required. Excessive exposure with nocturnal species to UVB can cause other health concerns, be sure that the animal has many places to hide and will not always be exposed to the light all day long.

A crested gecko does not require a heating lamp although does require light in the room for 10-12 hours to replicate their natural environment.
