You are in Canada so I can't help the geckos , but I can say crested are awesome.


I keep them in screen enclosures with a plant , some fake plants and vines almost like a chameleon. I feed them crested gecko diet and only a few crickets once or twice a week.

They are a lot of fun and you can hold them all you want. When you get them make sure you post pics.

I was just feeding them so I thought I would bring them up. Gargoyles are the same care and IMO even cooler looking.

Ya , you can use substrate. You could put a piece of cork bark in the back of the cage and glue to it. You can also use a glass enclosure or shoot even a bin.

They will love an Eco system type enclosure. If you are going to keep three in it , the enclosure will need to be really large. The get pretty big.

I have three Gargoyles in a 18x18x30 enclosure.

I am not sure , I havn't used any. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Oh, and use silicone, use brown instead of clear or black, as brown will blend in the best.

I have a fake background with mine and they climb on it frequently. It's an old TV converted to be a vivarium, here I'll find the pic...

That pic is quite old, I got rid of the soil with perlite of course. It's hard to believe I ever even used it!

It's now pretty dense with pothos, I find the odd baby in there some times too.

If you want some great ideas on vivariums and such, check out http://www.dendroboard.com/
There are a ton of pictures of setups on there and a lot of "how-to's" I know it goes to PDF's, but a lot of the ideas can be used with different types of geckos.

I know someone in Victoria who does Geckos. I'll let him know you're looking. Also check out http://www.rhacscanada.ca/forum/viewforum.php?f=28 and http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/
Try Chroma (site sponsor) also, I think he may also have geckos.

Im kind of still deciding between getting geckos, or a blue tongued skink..

Blue tongued skink was my initial plan to get, cause there big, Cute, and Apparently really Friendly

Ill probably get a skink and in a couple months some geckos, Im turning into a reptile Obsessed person...

So i geuss, if anyone knows of a good place to buy a 50+ Gallon aquarium... Cool.

I seen one at petsmart, its pretty nice!

Thanks all... Sorry
