The Crested Geckos were once thought to be extinct, however, they were recently rediscovered in 1994. Since then, they have quickly become a favorite lizard to own due to their low maintenance. Crested Geckos get their name from the fringed crest that begins over their eyes (sometimes thought of as eyelashes) and runs down their neck. They come in a variety of markings and colors, which are also referred to as morphs. They reach approximately 8 inches in total length and can live up to 20 years in captivity depending on their care.
