Crested geckos are amongst the most important gecko species and normally variety from 6–10 inches (15–25 cm) in period, inclusive of 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) of tail period. Among the maximum unique capabilities of those geckos are the hair-like projections located above the eyes, which significantly resemble eyelashes. Crested geckos additionally have rows of spines that run from the edges in their wedge-fashioned head to the bottom in their tail. Crested geckos do now no longer have eyelids and so that they use their lengthy tongues to moisten their eyes and eliminate debris. The feet and the top of the semi-prehensile tail are blanketed in small hairs known as setae. Each seta is split into masses of smaller (about 2 hundred nanometres in diameter) hairs known as spatulae. It is thought those systems take advantage of the susceptible van der Waals pressure to assist the gecko climb on maximum strong surfaces. The feet have small claws which resource in mountaineering surfaces to which their feet can't cling. They own a semi-prehensile tail which they use to help in mountaineering. The tail may be dropped (through caudal autotomy) as a deterrent to predators. Unlike a few different geckos, when they lose their tail, it's going to now no longer develop back; however, this isn't always as dangerous to the gecko as it is far in different species, which includes the leopard gecko, which shop fats reserves of their tails. In fact, maximum adults with inside the wild lack tail. The crested gecko has awesome structural morphs in head length and crest abundance. Geckos with a head period much less than 1.three instances its width are taken into consideration "crowned". The numbers and sizes of crests can vary; a few geckos have crests that enlarge to the bottom of the tail and a few lack crests on one aspect in their frame. Crested geckos do now no longer have eyelids. Instead, an obvious scale, or spectacle, continues every eye moist, and the geckos use their tongues to clean away debris. Like the carefully associated Rhacodactylus geckos, crested geckos have webbed legs and digits

BEHAVIOUR

 They are a frequently arboreal species, who prefer to inhabit the cover of the New Caledonian rainforests, and due to this they could bounce substantially well. They're additionally crepuscular, and could usually spend the daylight slumbering in steady spots in excessive branches. Crested geckos are, however, much less sturdy climbers than tokay gecko.[citation needed] Crested geckos shed their pores and skin as much as soon as per week whilst young. When absolutely grown, the system handiest takes place as soon as each one or months. The crested gecko – not like the carefully associated gargoyle gecko (Rhacodactylus auriculatus) – will now no longer regrow its tail as soon as lost.[8] The cells across the base of the tail are brittle, permitting the tail to interrupt away whilst threatened or stuck with the aid of using a predator. The capillaries to the tail will near nearly instantly, so there's little to no blood loss. The tails will flow independently of the frame for 2–five minutes. The lack of their tail isn't always problematic, and maximum adults with inside the wild do now no longer have their tails. Unlike maximum species of gecko, this species is an omnivore, additionally taken into consideration frugivorous, feeding on fruit, nectar, pollen, and quite a few bugs. In captivity, they have to be fed a commercially prepared, fruit-primarily based totally food regimen with stay feeder bugs as a supplement. An unbalanced food regimen containing inadequate calcium cans speedy result in metabolic bone disease (MBD).
