Overview and Link to Care Guide

Crested geckos (Correlophus ciliatus) are arboreal geckos from New Caledonia, thought to be extinct until rediscovered in 1994. These gentle, nocturnal geckos are perfect for beginners due to their simple care requirements. They can live 15-20 years in captivity and come in many color morphs and patterns. Their ability to climb smooth surfaces using specialized toe pads makes them fascinating to observe.
