Crested Gecko

Gecko

Crested geckos were thought to be extinct until rediscovery in 1994. Now they are one of the most popular pet reptiles. They eat powdered diet mixed with water, no live bugs required. Room temperature is fine for them. They drop their tails permanently, which is the one quirk new keepers should know about.
