So, sometime in late March/April, I'm hoping to add a Crested Gecko to my family. I do already own a year old Leopard Gecko, and was doing some research for my next gecko, and I settled on the Crested.
I'm going to order most of my supplies from Pangea Reptile, because the tanks are sooo much cheaper than in my pet store (53.00$ vs 113.00$), as well as the decor. I also am going to order the Repashy CGD.
What I need to know, are multiple things:
1. Can you recommend a good breeder who has reasonably priced (50-60$ range, don't need any fancy morphs ) geckos, that is either in Canada, or can ship to Canada?
2. Do you think a screen cage (like Zoo-Med's ReptiBreeze) or a mostly glass, like an Exo-Terra, would be best?
3. The big debate: Substrate! Eco-Carpet, Eco-Earth or Sphagnum Moss? If you know of something else I could use (besides paper-towels, I really do want a planted or semi-realistic tank), just tell me.
4. Plastic or Real plants? Or a mixture? If planted, what kind of plants are safe for Cresties?
If there is anything else I've missed, just tell me. Oh, do I need any type of extra heating if my house stays at 75ºF?
Thanks! I want to do as much research as I can.
