Crested Gecko Questions!?

Question

I have a few questions about crested geckos:

Are these good books: Crested Geckos: By the Experts at Advanced Vivaria Systems by Phillipe de Vosjoli, Crested Geckos by Adam Black, and Crested Geckos in Captivity by Robbie Hamper, because I want to get those.

How much do you think a 4 month old "normal" coloration crested would cost at a Reptile Expo?

Is it okay to not feed crickets? I will be feeding CGD (mainly), baby food, fruit, applesauce, mealworms, and wax worms.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Those books sound fine, crested geckos are pretty easy to care for all they need is cgd, 50-80% humidity, 65-83 degrees F., stuff to climb on, and a caring owner. A 4 month old normal should run about 30-50 I would say unless it has no tail then it should be dirt cheap if not free... even without a tail they are still great little guys to have! Also, crickets are not a must but they do like them, and its good with any reptile to "mix it up a bit" maybe once in while like 2-3 times a month get some crickets from petsmart or other shop, dust them and throw them in for a treat!!   GOOD LUCK!!!!     TYLER

Answer 2

Anything that the Experts at Advanced Vivaria Systems are amazing books, I would go with that one if you just want to buy one.

Answer 3

Yes ,those are excellent books.

   I paid fifty dollars for an unsexed "normal " at a reptile expo in white plains NY  cgd and baby food are fine according to what i have seen and have been told by the breeders and others who keep cresteds
