One of the crested geckos dominant features are it's extending scales that run down from the eye sockets to the end of the neck. More desirable morphs called "pinstripes" have these extended scales running from the eyes to the base of the tail. These extended scales are sometimes referred to as "Crests." Thus, is where these animals received their common name "Crested Gecko"

Are crested geckos good with other lizards?

Crested geckos are solitary creatures, as with most gecko species. They will only interact with one of the same species during breeding season. Males will seek out females and copulate then leave and carry on, seeking another mate. If two males confront one another, they will fight for rights to breed and territory. Other species of lizards as well as other gecko species, should not be housed with crested geckos.
