So I just got my first reptile ever (a little leopard gecko hatchling...see profile pic) and now I kind of want to get a crested gecko too. Anyone know good breeders to look at? Perhaps an average price? Also, I see different suggestions about temperature and cage size on almost every care sheet. As far as I can tell, the crestie will need an ambient air temp of 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit with a day time humidity of 50%-60% and a night time humidity of 80%-100%. There does seem to be some question as to whether or not a 20 gallon high is too much and a 10 gallon high is not enough. Thanks to anyone who answers!

I can't really answer your questions about where to get one (if there's a reptile show near you, that's a good place to start). Best temperatures are more like 65-75; 85 is already a bit on the high side. In my opinion the best cages are the exo-terra or zoo-med but a 20 gallon high should be OK.
