Question 1

Do crested geckos need a humidifier?

Accepted Answer

Humidifiers are not necessary for a thriving gecko if the environment naturally stays at 60–80% humidity. If the humidity goes outside that range, then humidifiers are useful to maintain the optimal humidity levels. Consult your vet if you have questions or concerns about crested gecko humidifiers and cage cleaning.

Question 2

How do I keep my crested gecko humid?

Accepted Answer

Crested geckos enjoy humidity ranges of 60–80%. Having humidity at the higher end of this range at night and lower end during the day is ideal. In addition to the use of a humidifier, you can further maintain humidity by providing a water dish in the tank, regular misting, and including gecko-safe live plants in the habitat.

Question 3

What can I use to clean my gecko tank?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to cleaning your gecko's tank, the best material to use is a reptile-safe disinfectant. You can also clean your gecko's tank with soap and water or diluted vinegar. It's important to ensure your gecko's tank is totally rinsed and dry from cleaning before placing your pet gecko back inside. Scoops help you spot-clean substrate daily between complete cleanings.

Question 4

How often should I clean my crested gecko tank?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, you should spot-clean your gecko tank once a day, as well as remove and disinfect food and water dishes. Thorough tank cleanings should happen once a week using a reptile-safe disinfectant, soap, water, or diluted vinegar — and ensuring the tank is completely dry before placing your pet gecko back inside. Cleaning needs may vary depending on your setup, so get advice from your reptile-savvy vet about crested gecko humidifiers and cage cleaning.
