Crested geckos should not be breeding all year round, as this can quickly deplete their calcium stores and weaken the animal. As a hobbyist, we are trying to mimic their natural environment and in the wild, a crested gecko undergoes a cooling period. During the winter months in New Caledonia, a crested geckos metabolism slows, they spend less time awake during the nights and they do not breed in order to build up enough fat and calcium for the next season. In captivity, cresteds will lay egg from March/April - October/November. During this period, they will lay 2 hard shelled eggs 2-4 inches deep in moist soil every 30-45days. These eggs then incubate for 60-120 days depending on heat and moisture.
As with most wild animals, they're usually solitary creatures - only seeking each other out for breeding purposes. If you must keep more than one in the same vivarium, you're better off keeping them in a 'harem' setting - that is one male to a number of females. Males kept together will probably attack each other to assert dominance.

What things should you consider before buying a gecko?
it matters what type of gecko as crested geckos and day geckos are arboreal which means they live in trees so the vivarium must be taller than wide and if you want to by a leopard gecko they are terrestrial meaning they live on the ground and have a completely different set up. crested geckos will need a more humid vivarium as they live in rain Forrest's. they will need enrichment like branches and leaves in their enclosure to simulate their natural environment and they are mostly fed on live invertebrates such as crickets and locusts. although it is tempting to feed them in their viv it is advised to take them out and feed them with tweezers to prevent them thinking your food when trying to handle them. unlike many other reptiles geckos are nocturnal with the exception of the day gecko and they do not require uvb lamp i am up sure about the needs for a day gecko but its mostly the same. leopard geckos will require a longer viv and the substrate can be different such as calcium sand the environment will rarely need spraying as they come from a dessert but they still require enrichment such as logs to hide under. they eat the same food as the other geckos and are mostly fed outside the enclosures.
