Hi all,
We are still toying with the idea of getting a crested gecko as a pet, and had some questions.
What are tricks to keep the tank cool enough? We are worried that our hot CA summers might be too much for a gecko. A garter snake might be a better choice since they are used to wide temperature extremes (I prefer snakes, my husband prefers geckos, and we only want one reptile pet). We are often living in places with no central AC, and sometimes the inside gets to 86. Outside is over 100 many days. Maybe crested geckos are too delicate for us. We do like their looks and their simple diet.
Also, how messy are they to clean up after? They poop much more than a snake would I'm sure. Are they very stinky?
Any help would be much appreciated.
