Reptarium for Crested Gecko?

I currently have the 13x13x20 reptarium and according to the thermometer /hygrometer I have my room is 71 degrees and 50% humidity. If I mist regularly and provide a low watt heat bulb could I keep a crested in this terrarium? I have a 36x18x18 exo terra for long term housing but my baby box turtles will need that until next summer so I really just need a terrarium that will be good for a year.


I also will be setting up a dripper for the gecko which I imagine would help a bit with humidity.

All that sounds fine to me. I have kept my gecko in the same conditions over winter and he did fine. Low 70s isn't too bad, but if you absolutely want to use a heat emitter be aware that that seriously dries out the terrarium so I would use it sparingly if you want to keep your humidity up. Misting will definitely be necessary. Good luck with your crestie

When I went to the reptile show in my area they had a lot of juvenile cresties. Some started selling at about 3 months and others didn't sell younger than 5-6. Prices vary depending on seller. An about the soft tray I have never heard of using one for cresties but I'm sure you can. Paper towels aren't pretty but they are really easy. I don't however have any experience at all with leopard geckos so I cannot help you there

I'm looking for advice on crested geckos. My first one my son in law found on the UPS dock in Hilliard, Ohio last September. I still can't tell if it is a girl or boy. My 5 year old grandson named it Stripes. I went to the Ohio Reptile Show Saturday and bought a female. I heard they can be housed together if Stripes is a girl or a boy. Her name is Stars. I removed Stripes from the habitat as the seller told me to do so Stars could explore. I have seen them on a branch together one time. Stripes is hanging out on top and Stars in the bottom of the cage. I am feeding Stripes in his regular placei and feeding Stars where she is hanging out. Should I be doing anything else to help acclimate them? They still have all their toes and tails and I haven't seen any blood.

You will get more advice if you start your own thread.
