Best heating method for Cresteds.

FroggyToads Mar 04, 2005 01:40 AM

I am planning on buying two crested geckos to put in a twenty gallon tank. I have heard the idea to buy an undersized undertank heater because cresteds only require slightly higher then room tempature. Whats best?

Thanks

You can keep cresteds at room temp with no additinal heat i personally just put a flourescent light above my cresteds cages just to give them a day/night period. Whatever you do just make sure to keep them between 74-80 degrees during the day and around 69-75 degrees at night.
