    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Ok Im new to Geckos deside to go with the Crested geckos so now I need a cage. Have decided to build my own cage as space is kind of a issue so was wondering if this size would work for a trio.3ft tall by 1ft deep by 3ft wide.Also it would wrap a round a corner so would be 1.5ft on one side turn corner and then the other 1.5 on other side.Also should it be wire or glass? Also do I need any heating ? I know they do find at room temp.And for lights do I need any? Thanks for the help

Sounds sufficient to me as long as there is plenty of hiding spots and branches, etc. Sounds like it's going to be nice.

Either. I found I like the look of glass better since they're easier to see, and it's more fun since they seem to like to stick to it. Glass will also make it easier to maintain humidity and (at least in my experience) glass tends to hold temps at night a little better.

As long as the room doesn't get too cold you don't need any.

I got a light just to help out with photoperiod and because I think it makes the cage slightly more attractive to look at (makes them easier to find during the day). Not necessary, but kind of nice to have. I use a flourescent light bulb though, it runs a lot longer, cooler, and uses less power than regular light bulbs.

I think you'll like the little guys :)
