Buyer question
How long does a crested gecko live?
Our Animal Library gives the Crested Gecko a lifespan of 15–20 years.

The detail
Patternless crested geckos show a single, even base color with little or no dorsal or lateral pattern, from olive and buckskin to red and yellow. It is a line-bred look rather than a simple gene, and the care is the same easy routine as any crested.
- Origin
- New Caledonia (captive-bred line)
- Best fit
- First gecko, display keepers
What to weigh
Patternless is polygenic, so two patternless parents do not guarantee patternless babies. Cresteds also drop their tails when stressed, and a crested tail never grows back.
