Exotic Pets - Male Crested Gecko - as part of the series on pets and animals by GeoBeats.

I am going to show you a full grown Male Crested Gecko, this is a Harlequin Partial Pinstriped Crested. He is about 2 and 1/2, 3 years old right now, as you can see with the length of the head and the tail he is grown to his full length of 8 inches. He would not get much bigger than this, he might just put on a little extra weight.

It is going to be initially the exact same care for the juveniles and hatch-lings. With these guys you are going to want to keep the humidity up on them, with me, I usually mist them once in the morning, once in the evening. Usually at the evening you want to really soak the tank down, because they are not drinking out of the water bowl very often, they usually lick off of the fake tree plants and brush that you put into their tanks.
