What kind of substrate and bedding do crested geckos need?

Crested gecko substrate and bedding usually consists of dampened sphagnum moss, coconut fiber, and even reptile carpet. You can also use reptile-specific soil or other options. Some substrates to avoid for crested geckos include wood chips and gravel.

How much bedding and substrate should I put in my crested gecko's cage?

Typically, crested gecko substrate and bedding should be 2–4 inches thick. This helps with moisture retention, environmental humidity, and cleaning. The amount needed can vary depending on your setup. Bioactive habitats with plants, for example, require much more substrate.
