Hamburg's show is great. I really want to go back, but I can't risk spending money there, ya know? ;) But here's the website: SearchTempest Online Classifieds Search - All the Classifieds. One Search. Good luck! ~Maggot

Did you check Craigslist? SearchTempest allows you to search through Craigslist ads for keywords by miles. I'm not sure where in PA you are, but I often see cresties for sale on there. ~Maggot

They were decently active, and their little chirps were the cutest. I truly don't have any clue how they kept escaping, because I tried four different enclosures/containers that I went over every inch of and still couldn't get the hang of it. I don't know, maybe I'm just really bad at...

I had some mournings. They're really cool, but, unfortunately, it didn't work out. I had ordered a group of subadults because I didn't want to start with babies, but he ended up handing me babies. I mean, tiny. I reluctantly took them, but, with how little they are and the fact that I was set up...

I'm not sure how you keeping other reptiles is relevant to knowing that monitors need huge, custom-built enclosures, but I was simply pointing out that they're all "super difficult to keep." Forget I said anything though. Have fun. ~Maggot

Any monitor is super difficult to keep. They require huge, custom-built enclosures. ~Maggot

Sav probably. My understanding is that it's the hardiest and most common. Correct Savannah Monitor Care ~Maggot

There are literally hundreds - if not thousands - of gecko species out there. Limiting yourself to two makes no sense. ~Maggot

Probably would be a good idea to pick another reptile then. ~Maggot

I don't know of a way of keeping the viv itself cooler. You'd probably have to decrease the temperature of the room it's in. ~Maggot

If it gets that warm in your house, you've got a problem. Anything over about 82 (27 C) or so is considered very dangerous if not deadly for crested geckos. ~Maggot

You asked they could be kept in "pretty much the same setup," and the answer's no. It's pretty much opposite. There is virtually no similarity between the two. Leopard geckos should not even be part of the discussion when talking about crested geckos. And judging by your initial post about...

You have to do some research on your own. If you had done any at all, you would have known that you can't house a crested gecko like a leopard gecko. You can't just come here, say what you plan to do without any research, then expect other people to correct you and spoon-feed you all the...

NOOOOOO. If you keep a crested gecko like a leopard gecko, it will die. These are two completely different animals with completely different needs. One is a terrestrial species that eats entirely insects from a relatively dry environment, and the other is an arboreal species that eats fruit and...

The main problem is that it's at that temp with no UTH, just a light. That's the ENTIRE temperature, not the cool side temp. Once a UTH is added, with how little floor space there is, I wouldn't be surprised if the cool side temp went up over 25. I have seen my leo use temps in the low-mid 70's...
