Crested Gecko

One of my absolute favourite geckos are the Crested Gecko (Rhacodactylus ciliatus), a gecko that has a rather fascinating history. They where thought to be more or less extinct, but in 1994 it was rediscovered on the islands of New Caledonia. Some specimens was brought back to Europe, and these are now the forefathers to all the millions of Crested Geckos in captivity today.

These geckos reach ages of 15-20 years, and grow to 12-18cm
