THE CRESTED GECKO IN CAPTIVITY One of the most exciting, and certainly, most unique gecko becoming available to the reptile hobbyist is the Crested Gecko, Rhacodactylus ciliatus. A new comprehensivebook, The Crested Gecko in Captivity, by Robbie Hamper, is the first book availableto give detailed information on all aspects of keeping and breeding a healthy CrestedGecko. This book covers hatchling and adult care, housing, feeding, and breeding,plus many representative photographs of the various beautiful morphs. After being rediscovered in the mysterious forest of New Caledonia in 1994,Crested Geckos have been successfully captive bred producing hearty, robust, andextremely docile animals. With their wide-eyed, prehistoric look, huge triangle shaped heads, and froglike antics, they are quickly becoming the gecko of choice for reptile hobbyists. The author, Robbie Hamper, draws on a background of science education withover 30 years of herpetocultural experience specializing the last 15 years in Leopard Geckos and Crested Geckos.
