I'm need of help

[Mia_carter]

I bought a crested gecko yesterday.. Cutest little thing.. The shop prepared everything I needed for my gecko (dexter) but they didn't supply a light for him? Do they need a some sort of light as I thought they did?

They don't really need a light, they do fine in room temperature. (Around 75°. ) but don't let the temp go above 80 or it stresses them!

As long as there is enough daylight in the room his viv is in, then there is no need for a household bulb to be on his viv either

But if his tank temps drop below 75, then I would recommend getting a small watt heat bulb

I believe that temperatures in the mid to high 60's are OK as well.
