Crested Gecko
Correlophus ciliatus
The Crested Gecko is one of the most popular pet reptiles in the world, prized for its unique appearance, gentle temperament, and ease of care. Native to New Caledonia, these arboreal geckos are known for the distinctive crest of soft spines running from above their eyes down their backs, giving them their common name.
Available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, Crested Geckos make excellent pets for both beginner and experienced reptile keepers. They are primarily nocturnal and enjoy climbing branches, cork bark, and live plants within a well-planted enclosure. Unlike many gecko species, Crested Geckos thrive on a prepared fruit-based diet supplemented with insects.
