Hello!

I want to get 3 or 2 cresties, but I don't want any breeding. So I am planning to get these 2 or 3 UNSEXED babies, and I what should I do if I get 2 males? Or 1 male and 2 females? And what do I if they breed? Do females usually have stuff like calcium deficiancy after egg laying. What do I do to prevent breeding?
I am planning to keep them in a 25 gallon.

Are they very easy to keep? I already have a bearded dragon that requires a LOT of work. How do they compare?

Appreciate any tips and recommendations! Smiley

males & females will breed when housed togeather. no exceptions. if you want more then 1, you should buy all females.

IMO crested are very very easy to keep. this is a great basic care sheet. http://www.ciliatus.com/content/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=76&Itemid=285

Well I am planning to get these 2 unsexed geckos on seems to be a female and the other is uncertain. If one turns out to be a male is it possible to put a tank divider to keep them apart?

That was my original plan, and it didn't work out. Now I breed...lol. It's tough to find adult females for sale.

Cresties are extremely easy to take care of compared to a bearded dragon-- especially if you feed only CGD. I know because I have both.
