Crested Gecko by Catherine Love, DVM Updated 2021
Crested Gecko By Catherine Love, DVM Updated 2021 Natural History Rhacodactylus ciliatus, more recently re-classified as Correlophus ciliatus, is a species of arboreal lizard native to New Caledonia. Until 1994, crested geckos were thought to be extinct in the wild. Their population was re-discovered, and although export is no longer allowed, this species has thrived in captivity and is readily available in the US pet trade. Cresties are crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk), and spend most of their day in shrubs or in trees. They get their name from the eyelash-like appendages that form the crests above their eyes. Unlike most geckos that are carnivorous, these animals are omnivorous, and primarily frugivores (fruit eaters). One of the biggest threats to wild crested geckos is the introduced little fire ant that not only swarms the geckos in large numbers, but also competes for arthropod prey. Crested geckos are considered “vulnerable” by the IUCN. Characteristics and Behavior As with most geckos, cresties do not have eyelids, so they keep their eyes moist by licking them. Cresties are also able to climb vertical surfaces using tiny hairs on their feet called setae. Their tails are partially prehensile, though not to the same extent as a chameleon, and they possess tail autotomy (they can drop their tails). Unlike leopard geckos, when a crestie drops their tail, it doesn’t grow back. However, they don’t store fat in their tails so it is generally not as detrimental for a crestie to drop their tail, and the majority of wild cresties end up doing so.

RVC Exotics Service Royal Veterinary College Royal College Street London NW1 0TU T: 0207 554 3528 F: 0207 388 8124 www.rvc.ac.uk/BSAH CRESTED GECKO CARE The Crested gecko (Rhacodactylus ciliatus) originates from the islands of New Caledonia where the species was believed to be extinct until 1994 when it was subsequently rediscovered. In its natural environment, it can be found resting in rainforests, sleeping in trunk hollows or leaf litter, and only becomes active at night. Similar to other geckos, it can shed its tail as a defence mechanism (autotomy), but unlike others it lacks an ability to regenerate the tail, so care should be taken while handling. Geckos may live 10-15 years if looked after correctly. HOUSING • As large a vivarium as possible should be provided to enable room for exercise, and a thermal gradient to be created along the length of the tank (hot to cold). Wooden or fibreglass vivaria are ideal as this provides the lizard with some visual security and ventilation can be provided at lizard level. • Good ventilation is required and additional ventilation holes may need to be created. • Hides are required to provide some security. Artificial plants, cardboard boxes, plant pots, logs or commercially available hides can be used. They should be placed both at the warm and cooler ends of the tank. One hide should contain damp moss, kitchen towel or vermiculite to provide a humid environment for shedding. • Substrates suitable for housing lizards include newspaper, Astroturf and some of the commercially available substrates. It is important that the substrates either cannot be eaten, or if they are, do not cause blockages as this can prove fatal.

Lizard Facts Lizards Are One of the Biggest, Most Diverse and Widespread Groups of Reptiles Found on Earth
Lizard Facts Lizards are one of the biggest, most diverse and widespread groups of reptiles found on Earth. They are found on all continents, except Antarctica. ▪ Lizard (suborder Sauria) refer to any of the more than 5,500 species of reptiles belonging in the order Squamata (which also includes snakes). They feature in a wide variety of colors, appearance, and size. ▪ It comprises 40 different families. According to the San Diego Zoo, there are currently over 4,675 lizard species, including iguanas, chameleons, geckos, Gila monsters, monitors, and skinks. Their ancestors appeared on Earth over 200 million years ago. ▪ Lizards are scaly-skinned reptiles that are usually distinguished from snakes by the possession of legs, movable eyelids, and external ear openings. However, some traditional (that is, non-snake) lizards lack one or more of these features. ▪ Due to their smooth and shiny appearance, some lizards can appear slimy or slippery. However, their skin – like all reptiles – is actually very dry due to a lack of pores to excrete water and oils. Class: Reptilia Higher classification: Scaled reptiles Kingdom: Animalia Order: Squamata Phylum: Chordata KIDSKONNECT.COM Lizard Facts MOBILITY All lizards are capable of swimming, and a few are quite comfortable in aquatic environments. Many are also good climbers and fast sprinters. Some can even run on two legs, such as the Collared Lizard and the Spiny-Tailed Iguana. LIZARDS AND HUMANS Most lizard species are harmless to humans. Only the very largest lizard species pose any threat of death. The chief impact of lizards on humans is positive, as they are the main predators of pest species.

This document has been submitted by the European Union and United States of America in relation to proposal CoP18 Prop. 28.* Introduction This document has been compiled to supplement the information provided in amendment proposal CoP18 Prop. 28, to include the tokay gecko (Gekko gecko) in Appendix II, as submitted by the European Union, India, Philippines and the United States of America. It highlights a number of key points, responding to the concerns raised within the Secretariat’s assessment of the proposal in CoP18 Doc. 105.1 Annexes 1 and 2: • Despite reports that trade in G. gecko may have decreased from a peak in 2010/2011, overall trade volumes, as well as demand for the species in key consumer countries, appear to remain extremely high. More than 770,000 individuals are exported annually, and combined with undocumented illegal exports, international trade is likely in excess of a million individuals annually. In the absence of population estimates or trends from key exporting countries, such as Thailand and Indonesia, there is a lack of empirical evidence on whether current harvest and trade levels of wild specimens are sustainable. However, population declines that are likely to have been caused by over-collection of individuals have been reported in eight range States.

Opportunistic Feeding by House-Dwelling Geckos: Does This Make Them More Successful Invaders?
The Herpetological Bulletin 149, 2019: 38-40 SHORT COMMUNICATION https://doi.org/10.33256/hb149.3840 Opportunistic feeding by house-dwelling geckos: does this make them more successful invaders? ROBBIE WETERINGS1* & PREEYAPORN WETERINGS1 1 Cat Drop Foundation, Drachten, Netherlands *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract - Various species of ‘house’ gecko are found in and around buildings, where they can be observed feeding opportunistically on the insects attracted to artificial lights. Most of the species are considered strict insectivores. Nevertheless, there have been several recently published observations of ‘house’ geckos feeding on non-insect food. In order to assess how common this behaviour is among geckos worldwide, we offered an online questionnaire to ecologists and herpetologists. Of the 74 observations received, most reported Hemidactylus frenatus, H. platyurus and Gehyra mutilata feeding on rice, bread, fruits, vegetables, dog food or chocolate cream, taken from tables, plates, and garbage bins. This opportunistic feeding behaviour is much more common than previously thought and is perpetrated by species considered to be highly invasive, possibly contributing to their success as invaders. INTRODUCTION 2. What did the gecko consume? a. Insects or other invertebrates everal gecko species (e.g. Hemidactylus frenatus and b.

Crested Gecko: Care and Husbandry
Warren Woods Veterinary Hospital 29157 Schoenherr Road Warren MI 48088 Telephone: 586-751-3350 Fax: 586-751-3447 www.wwvhcares.com Crested Gecko: Care and Husbandry Crested geckos are reptiles that are native to New Caledonia. They are arboreal, meaning they live in trees and therefore prefer lots of vertical space. Crested geckos are nocturnal and are most active during the night. These geckos come in a wide variety of colors and markings. They get their name from a fringed crest that runs from above their eyes down their necks and backs. Crested geckos have special toe pads and prehensile tails that allow them to effortlessly move along vertical surfaces. They are also very good jumpers. They measure seven to nine inches in length when mature. With proper care your crested gecko can live fifteen to twenty years. The ideal habitat for a single gecko is a mesh cage or aquarium with a screened lid, minimally 12 inches by 12 inches by 18 inches. Male crested geckos are territorial and may fight, therefore they should not be housed together. A male and female gecko or pair of females may be housed together if they have an enclosure of at least twenty gallons. Acceptable substrate for the bottom of your enclosure can include paper towels, newspaper, butcher paper, terrarium liners, rabbit alfalfa food pellets or recycled paper products. Calcium sand is not a good choice because it can be ingested which may cause intestinal impaction. Wood shavings, walnut shells and sand are all inappropriate choices as these can be harmful if ingested, can carry parasites and irritating dusts and oils.
