They are quite tricky to get.

Any basic care tips for geckos? Never owned one of any species.
He'll need a secure arboreal tank and will eat insects, I'm not sure what size insect will be appropriate for him since when I cared for one it was a tiny baby the size of my fingernail which I fed fruitflies. This particular kind of gecko will not need crested gecko diet. He is nocturnal, so no UV light. Probably a daily misting will be in order so he can lick drops of water from the sides of the tank. Good luck with this cutie! I don't care that they are invasive, I think H. turcicus is adorable
