Crested Gecko: Lilly White

Introducing the stunning Crimson Giant Day Gecko, a vibrant and captivating reptile known for its striking red coloration and active daytime behavior. Native to the lush forests of Madagascar, this arboreal gecko thrives in warm, humid environments, making it a perfect addition to a well-maintained terrarium that mimics its natural habitat.

The Crimson Giant Day Gecko is known for its curious and generally docile temperament, though it can be skittish and should be handled with care. Ideal captive care includes maintaining a temperature range of 75-85°F with a basking spot of around 90°F, and humidity levels between 60-80%. Providing UVB lighting is essential for their health, and a vertical enclosure with plenty of climbing opportunities and foliage will keep them active and engaged.

With a moderate growth rate, the Crimson Giant Day Gecko can reach an adult size of 10-12 inches. In captivity, they can live up to 10 years with proper care. Regular feeding of a varied diet, including insects and fruit-based gecko diets, along with maintaining optimal environmental conditions, will ensure a healthy and thriving gecko.
