Crested or Gargoyle Gecko Setup (45x45x60cm)

This setup is suitable for two adult crested geckos, but also ideal as a spacious forever home for a crested gecko living alone. It may also be suitable for other small species of arboreal lizard or amphibians. If you need any advice on this setup or any other setups, or want to custom make a setup, you can call us on 02920 190291, message us on Facebook or drop us an email. We’re always happy to give free extensive advice and answer any questions you might have.

An Exo Terra offers a high quality enclosure with excellent ventilation, easy to access and clean. It’s perfect for a bioactive or humid setup. This setup comes with a canopy top as well as UVB – read our full guide on UVB and it’s importance in all species, including crepuscular animals such as Crested Geckos – and has all round ambient heating provided by a heat mat controlled by a thermostat.

The Bronze Crested Gecko Setup comes with a basic setup including lighting and UVB which we consider essential. Silver Crested Gecko Setup comes with additional night time heating, but the Gold setup which comes with our bioactive kit, including substrate, live plants, woodlice and springtails, additional decor and food.

We have designed these kits to provide a lifetime of good health and a natural environment for a Crested Gecko. You might find other places recommending a starter enclosure that’s smaller, but reptiles grow fast and we find they will use all the space from the start, so we recommend you save money and provide the best enclosure possible.

Crested Gecko Setup – Upgrade Night Time Heating + £90

An upgrade to night time heating is available which switches the heat mat and thermostat in the silver and gold setup to a Deep Heat Projector. Deep Heat Projectors are the newest technology for heating enclosures, providing infra red A&B deep into muscle tissue in a way that mimics the energy from the sun. The deep heat projector provides no light and can be used 24/7 for a very natural and targeted heat source. It must be controlled by a dimming thermostat. We’ve included the digital dimming thermostat as you can set a different temperature on this for day and night, allowing for a night time heat drop which is the most natural way of heating.
