Correlophua ciliatus 'Crested' Gecko Facts
Common Names:
Correlophus ciliatus, formerly known as Rhacodactylus ciliatus, is commonly referred to by several common names. Some of these include:
- Crested gecko
- Eyelash gecko
- New Caledonian crested gecko
These are the most commonly used names for Correlophus ciliatus in the pet trade and among reptile enthusiasts.
FUN FACTS: Crested geckos lack eyelids. Instead, a transparent scale, known as a spectacle, moistens each eye, while the geckos use their tongues to remove debris. The species name, ciliatus, highlights the crest of skin above the gecko's eyes, resembling eyelashes.
LOCATION / HABITAT: Endemic to Province Sud, New Caledonia, approximately 900 miles east of Australia, crested geckos inhabit coastal forests, closed humid forests, and montane forests. They are crepuscular and arboreal.
BREEDING: In captivity, crested geckos breed readily, with females laying two eggs that hatch 60–150 days after being laid.
BEHAVIOR: Males exhibit territorial behavior and typically do not tolerate the presence of other males. Bold, active, docile, and social, crested geckos are ideal for beginners. They consume fruit and insects.
