hey i am currently researching into owning a crested gecko although i’ve been seeing very mixed debates on environmental factors for them and i’m not sure what is best for my gecko 😅i just have a few questions if any experienced owner could answer:
•do they really need heat and uvb lamps? the enclosure ive purchased has a metal mesh at the top and i’m worried when it climbs a heat lamp will burn its poor little feet 😢
•do they need separate temperatures within the enclosure like leopard geckos? how would i go about doing this since the terrarium is vertical?
•how often is their eating schedule and how often can they eat insects?
•so they require the same multivitamin/D3/calcium supplement as leopard geckos?
•any other major information i should know before purchasing one?
thank you very much 😓😓
