Crested Gecko (Correlophus ciliatus)
Crested Gecko (Correlophus ciliatus) Fauna ReptilesReptiles Home Featured in Reptiles Snakes Lizards Amphibians Tortoises Reptile Boarding Crested Gecko (Correlophus ciliatus) This juvenile crested gecko (Correlophus ciliatus) was hatched here in the store. If he’s anything like the parents, he’ll be absolutely beautiful when he grows up. All about the Crested Geckos The crested gecko, native to New Caledonia, is a fascinating pet for the devoted herpetologist.

They only grow to be about seven to nine inches in length, and come in several different color morphs. The crested gecko has flat feet coated in hundreds of microscopic hairs which allow it to climb vertical surfaces. Though they are closely related to the gargoyle gecko, they are unable to regrow tails like other species. Crested geckos also lack eyelids, and lick their eyeballs instead. They are also sometimes called the “eyelash” gecko because of the tiny triangles above their eyes that give them an eyelash-like appearance. What kind of home do they need?

A 20 gallon tall is best at minimum, but you can always opt for larger to allow more movement. The tank should have a good...
