Crested geckos are solitary and should only be housed alone (but if you plan to breed it’s ok), being constantly housed with a male will often stress the female out, so it would be better to separate them for the rest of the time). Two male crested geckos will definitely fight, as can two females.
The crested gecko, often called the eyelash gecko, is a good pet for beginners because of its easy to keep requirements, and has a friendly nature.
Crested geckos can tolerate being handled, they are generally not known for enjoying it and are more of a display pet. They are skittish and might try to jump away, so handling should be gentle and infrequent.
Crested gecko bites are generally not painful and rarely break the skin, often feeling more like a small scratch or a pinch.
Unlike other geckos, a crested gecko cannot regrow a dropped tail. However, your gecko won’t experience lasting harm from dropping its tail. Keeping your gecko out of its vivarium for too long can cause its body temperature to drop. Return your gecko to its tank after about 10 minutes of handling.
That’s it for today.
