Got My 1st Rhac

YFZ450Racer Aug 05, 2004 09:10 PM

ok, so i finally got a crested of my very own. hes got a ton of personality and i love the little guy. one of my questions are, i bought the gecko with an SVL of 3". now assuming it grew as fast as the average, how old do you think he is? another thing, i have him in my bedroom with a flourescent light fixture that i keep for 8-10 hours a day. however, during hte night while hte air is running, the temp's dip into the mid to upper 60's. will that be a problem? thats about all i can think of at the moment. expect pics sometime tomorrow!

Your crested doesn't need the UVB...mid 60's is low...instead of the flourescent, get a low wattage red bulb to get the temps up a bit.
