The crested gecko (Correlophus ciliatus) is a tree-dwelling gecko endemic to the islands of New Caledonia in the South Pacific. First described scientifically in 1866, it was presumed extinct for over a century before being rediscovered in 1994 — a remarkable story that captured the imagination of the reptile-keeping world. Within just a few years of its rediscovery, it had become one of the most widely kept reptile species globally. The "crests" for which it is named are rows of hair-like projections running from above each eye down the sides of the body, varying in shape and density between individuals. Through selective breeding, hundreds of distinct color morphs now exist, from deep chocolate browns to vivid oranges and pale creams. Temperamentally, crested geckos tend to be calm and relatively tolerant of careful handling once accustomed to their keeper. Their adhesive toe pads allow them to climb smooth vertical surfaces effortlessly, making a tall, enriched enclosure an ideal home. The ability to thrive on powdered commercial diets without live prey is a practical advantage that continues to draw in new enthusiasts and experienced breeders alike.
1Ideal Temp: 20–26°C
Crested Geckos are sensitive to heat and can suffer heat stress above 28°C. Summer management with air conditioning or cooling measures is essential, especially when temperatures exceed 30°C. In winter, maintain a minimum of around 20°C to keep them comfortable.
2Thrives on Commercial Diet
Powdered commercial diets such as Repashy Crested Gecko Diet, mixed with water, provide complete nutrition as a staple food. Some individuals enjoy live feeders like crickets, but these are not required. Feeding two to three times per week is a general guideline.
3Vertical Space Is Essential
As arboreal animals, Crested Geckos need vertical enclosures taller than they are wide. An enclosure of at least 45×45×60 cm is recommended for adults. Provide branches, cork bark, and plants—real or artificial—to create a three-dimensional climbing environment.
4Keep Humidity 50–80%
Proper humidity helps prevent incomplete shedding. Mist the enclosure one to two times daily, aiming for around 80% at night and allowing it to drop to 50–60% during the day. Coconut fiber substrate retains moisture well and supports this cycle.
5Tail Drop: Know the Risk
Crested Geckos can drop their tails under significant stress or rough handling. Unlike many other lizards, the tail does not regenerate—the gecko will live tailless for the rest of its life. Handle them gently and avoid sudden movements or forced restraint.

Care difficulty, lifespan, size and diet — all basics covered.
6Nocturnal: Active at Night
Crested Geckos rest in hides during the day and become active from evening onward. If you want to interact during daylight hours, keep sessions brief and ensure the gecko has a calm, secure retreat. UVB lighting is not strictly required but low-level UVB may support long-term health.
7Estimated Initial Costs
Common morphs are typically priced between 10,000 and 30,000 yen, while rare morphs can exceed 100,000 yen. Budget an additional 10,000–30,000 yen for starter equipment including an enclosure, thermometer/hygrometer, mister, and diet. Monthly running costs are relatively low—primarily the cost of commercial diet powder.
