Description
Everyone says crested geckos are easy. So why do so many die? The crested gecko is one of the best beginner reptiles in the world — hardy, gentle, handleable, long-lived, with big eyes, eyelash crests, and a famous comeback story (it was once thought extinct). It deserves its reputation as an easy first reptile.
But easy has a dark side: because crested geckos are forgiving, they're often kept carelessly — and a few simple mistakes still kill them. The biggest one is the opposite of what people expect: crested geckos are cool-tolerant animals, and HEAT is their number-one killer. They need no hot basking lamp — often no heating at all — and the most common way to lose this easy reptile is to keep it too warm. This book is built around the few things that actually matter, so easy never becomes careless.
Written by a keeper who keeps crested geckos at proper temperatures, on the modern complete diet, in tall planted vivariums, Crested Geckos is the honest, modern care guide that tells you exactly what makes the difference — not just that it's easy.
