thank you very much and if any oone has any care sheets for me please post them. and i currently have 2 leopard geckos
2 long tailed grass lizards and 2green anoles and 1 brown anole and i would really like to add crested gecko to that list

I find they are easier to maintain in a smaller tank but in a 30 gallon you could probably get away with 5 or 6 of them but probably better to go less than that.

They are fairly handlable but they are sometimes unpredictable in their movements...they like to jump and they can be very fast if they want to be.

Apparently if is fine to keep them at room temperature and you should feed crickets and peach or apricot baby food.

Mist them at night heavily as they probably won't drink from a dish.

They hide most of the day like leos but they seem to like burrowing or hiding in thick foliage. I keep mine on pine shavings and they are not very messy.

JMO,
