    I used to own 6 Crested geckos

    The setup is fine for them. Just make sure they have alot of things to hang and climb on. They need to have a light on them though or they WILL die.
    It has to be a heat lamp it needs to be on all day but can go off at night.

    What are you feeding them?

    The tank picture only shows about half the top, there's another sliding panel with the lights on it. There's a 16" UVB flourecent for both the lizards and the plants and then there's a 10" heatlamp behind it over Charlie's favorite climbing zone.

    Right now I have both the UVB and the heat lamp to run for 11 hours a day from 8 AM to 7 PM. I might add an under tank heat mat for Pete though because it does tend to get cold in the office and he doesn't get as much heat from the lamp.

    For food Charlies gets crickets three times a week, dusted twice a week with supplements, and then a mix of baby foods twice a week. He doesn't seem fond of the mango, but will eat the apricot and peach food. I just put a small lid in there, but if he doesn't touch it I'll hand feed him from a spoon and he seems to enjoy that. I'm thinking about attempting a switch from baby food to the T-rex crested food because I have easy access to it, and it's a better balance. However, I'm not sure he'll take to it too well.

    Pete gets a mix of crickets and mealworms and the occasional silk worm.

    I don't think it's a banded gecko (and that's a good thing because they are desert-dwellers and DON"T belong in a tank with Crested geckos who live in rainforest-like places)....

    He looks like a chinese or asian leopard gecko to me (Goniurosaurus spp) to me....and I again don't think the animals should be housed together...

    Those are very interesting looking and must be fun to watch. How nice you for you that you can have them in your office!
