Usally when it is humid and very hot
Crested geckos thrive in a habitat that is usually ranging from 16-17 Degrees Celcius up to 25-30 Degrees celcius with a humid ex. When the "winter season" approaches in their natural habitat, they tend to eat less, sleep more, and become a little less socialable. This is due to the lower tempuratures during the winter. Breeding season takes place when tempuratures are more regulated. Meaning their spring and summer season is best. In captivity some breeders provide this cooling period for their crested geckos, others do not. Breeders do reccomend that the females recieve a break from males, and this should be done during the winter months.
With crested geckos, females are usually bigger than the males, as they need the extra weight to sustain the breeding season. Females usually reach 8-10", while males reach 7-9".
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.
no
Yes, crested geckos may eat isopods as part of their diet. Isopods can provide a source of nutrition for crested geckos in captivity.
February through to September
Yes, crested geckos may eat isopods as part of their diet. Isopods can be a nutritious snack for crested geckos and provide variety in their diet.
Crested geckos are native to the green areas of New Caledonia off the coast of Australia.
During the breeding season males will copulate with the opposite sex multiple times. In a 6month breeding period the males will mate with the females as many times as the female is willing. Copulation can take place several times a night.
no, they can't
Crickets are used for fattening purposes with crested geckos. When breeding, females calcium stores are nearly depleted from the preparation of eggs. Feeding your crested supplemented crickets will aid in the cooling period, ensuring your female will be prepeared for next season.
Yes, they can. Geckos are very sensitive.
Flying geckos are from the Gekkonidae family Cresteds are from the rhacodactylus family
