There is a reptile expo at the end of April and I'm hoping to get a crested gecko or a gargoyle gecko, so I'm trying to decide which one I want! I think that cresties are cuter, but I like the fact that gargs get a little bigger, and it seems like they are more tolerant to handling. I want an adult/sub-adult though, so that might limit me to cresties... But we'll see!
I just had a couple questions that I couldn't get a definite answer on through research:
Is a 12" x 12" x 18" tank OK for one adult? I really liked the Zoomed ones!
What substrate is the best? I was thinking of using ceramic tile, and keeping some live plants in little pots to help prevent impaction. I'd like to try live plants, but if it isn't safe for them I won't.
Where do you keep your geckos? I'm a little worried about the temperature thing, since my house gets pretty warm in the summer. I figured I could move the tank into the basement on warm days though, since it is always cool there.
Does anyone know how much adult gargs usually are? I've only seen babies for sale at the expos.
And if you prefer one species to the other, I'd love to know why!
