Shoutout to my 15 year old leopard gecko! He lived a good long life and is now resting easy. I miss him so much. I'm about to get another baby and I'm so excited!

crested geckos: sticky padded feet climby dudes
Leopard geckos: well they like to sleep

[Mokke-Are-Innocent]

Leapord gecko: *chill the whole time, he does not have to look at him a lot*
Crested gecko: *looks over every second to make sure the gecko does not kill himself*

Edit: Why do I always forget that living things go number two?

crested geckos are amazing for absolute beginners because all you need to do is change their food and mist their cage! with leos you have to get used to handling insects, gutloading them, have a calcium & multivitamin schedule, etc. so I really think it depends on how much work you want to put in!

Crested gecko: I’m so cool I can climb using my sticky pads!

Leopard gecko: I have eyelids.

Crested gecko: 😢

My crested Gecko Jeffrey is such a character. He sits.
And uh-
Eats sometimes-
He does climb and such but likes to sleep a a lot-
He used to be very skinny, but now he’s a healthy chomcc

My leo bit me once and it was because I put on hand sanitizer before handling without thinking about it. He didnt like the smell and honestly I didnt even feel it at all. It just surprised me more than anything and was totally my fault. Otherwise he's never even tried to bite me.

I’d have to say crested gecko, mainly because of the food. Crested geckos main food is fruit mix. While Leo’s you have to constantly take care of the crickets, super worms, and calci worms.

Crested enclosures need to be misted everyday to keep up humidity, but they don't need heat.

Leo's need a heat source regulated with a thermostat of course, but you don't really need to tend to the enclosure everyday.

I have both and think their level of care is pretty similar, just different, but neither is really more needy than the other
