Crested geckos are a solitary species only encountering the same species during mating season. Males that smell the presence of a female will let out a chirping call to attract a mate. When two males meet, they will fight for the rights of breeding and territory. This species is native to a island of New Caledonia where other Racodactylus species roam the terrain. There is only one island that the crested gecko is native to and do not encounter other gecko species. As hobbyst's or breeders we are trying to replicate their natural envoirenment, therefore in the wild the crested would not live with other species, in your tank you cannot let 2 or more species co exist. Although cresteds are easy to care for they are fagile and will not grow another tail. Do not house multiple species together.
