Caring for my first baby crested gecko!

[Garhard]

I am getting my first crested geckos tonight. The two are between 1 and 3 weeks old so I am looking for any tips on caring for young crested geckos. I will post pictures of them soon. Thanks for the help!!

There's really no difference, with the exception of enclosure, hide and food dish sizes. Oh, and feeding amounts. Temps and humidity obviously aren't any different. Best of Luck!!!

I am considering either a 12"x12"x18" enclosure, or an 18"x18"x18". Are these big enough or will I need to go larger when they become adults?

For Babies like you described, 12x12x18 would be fine. Keep in mind, cresteds are arboreal so a tall enclosure for them is a very good thing. They love to climb. :main_yes:

We keep our tiny ones in small critter keepers. They don't eat very much at one time so don't give them a very big dish of CGD or they'll just make a mess. We feed ours about a dime sized amount at a time at that age.
