CRESTED GECKO

MEET CRESTI

The Crested Gecko is a fascinating, nocturnal lizard known for its unique appearance, with a set of prominent crests running along its head, back, and tail. Native to New Caledonia, this gecko thrives in the humid, tropical forests of the islands, where it spends most of its time in the trees. Growing up to 10 inches long, Crested Geckos are arboreal, using their prehensile tail to help balance and navigate through branches. They are skilled jumpers, leaping between branches to escape predators or reach new areas. Unfortunately, the Crested Gecko faces habitat loss and is vulnerable due to the destruction of its forest home. Protecting these delicate ecosystems is crucial for preserving this beautiful species.
