Would this Cage be okay for 1 Crested gecko?

Top Fin® Glass Aquarium - Fish - Sale - PetSmart

I would of course tilt it on its side so that the Gecko has room to climb etc. It's an Eyelash Crested Gecko if that's any difference. I'm new to this forum by the way! Also, what food does the Eyelash Crested Gecko eat? Thanks!

You are better to look on Kijiji or craigslist for an exoterra type tank, they are already built for arboreal reptiles.

And welcome to this crazy little thing called herps!

Sorry but I don't buy from Kijiji ebay, etc. Are there any on the Petsmart website you would recommend? I saw one with a mesh screen but was unsure because I heard that it hurts their feet? And what did you mean by that last statement?

LOL.....reptiles are known as herps......people who study and are into reptiles are herptologists........ but be careful its an addiction. LOL

I get all my tanks from people in our local herptology society. I don't know where you are in Canada but I would search and see if there is one in your area.

Cresties need humidity so you want the glass sides and top. But you are definately getting closer. LOL

Yeah I thought the same things someone first said herps to me. Are you in eastern or western Canada?

Ontario. Oh really cuz I was actually looking at that one! Forgot to mention it! I own a dog and a cat so this is completely new to me. How hard are Crested Geckos to care for? I'm willing to put in the effort and everything I would just really like to know.
