The Crested Gecko, Rhacodactylus ciliatus, is a species of gecko native to southern New Caledonia. This species was thought extinct until it was rediscovered in 1994. The Crested Gecko has many naturally occurring color groups, some of which include: grey, brown, red, orange, and yellow of various shades. They have variable markings, which include spots, straight stripes, and tiger-like stripes. The markings and coloration are not geographic indicators; offspring of the same clutch may display differing coloration and markings. The colors are brighter and more prominent at night. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding the keeping, breeding, health, and conservation of Rhacodactylus geckos. Don't forget to check out our other gecko related forums. If you are a new user to this forum, please take the time to review the rules first before posting.
