i've decided to put off setting up my 55g fish tank but i decided to make a crested gecko tank. i've been reading and some recommend a smaller setup some recommend a larger tank. i was thinking of using one of my 55g tanks but i could also purchase one at petco before th $1 a gallon sale is up. i would like to keep a pair of them in hopes they would mate. any recommendations? any pics of your tanks?

to be honest this pretty much sums up cresties... http://www.captivebred.co.uk/crested_gecko_care_guide.htm
That link is great, but for my personal experience...
alright, well, if you are going to do a fifty five, I mean get a breeding trio, not a set.
Get 1 male,2 females.
make sure that their temp stays at 72-77.
Mist as much as you can a day, at least twice. 5 is better.
Oh and back to breeding them.
Make sure you get an proven males and females, and that they will all tolerate each other,never put males together.. that is a stupid mistake..
PM me for more info.

A 55 is a wonderland for a pair of cresties. I bred crested geckos for years in 29 tall tanks. Hardly ever incubated eggs either. Every few months a couple of new babies would pop up. It was always a nice suprise when I found new hatchlings. Just make sure you have a seperate setup for the female to take brakes from breeding. Males can be ruthless at breeding attempts.
