Introduction
Crested Geckos are found on the southern tip of New Caledonia, a large island northeast of Australia. Crested geckos were thought to be extinct until their rediscovery in 1994. They are now one of the most commonly kept geckos in the world and export from their native New Caledonia is prohibited.
Crested geckos are arboreal (they live in trees, high above the ground for the most part) and grow to a total body length of 8 to 10 inches including the tail.

Ingredients
- 1 large can (approx. 800 g./28 oz.) of unsweetened mango pulp. If unavailable, canned peaches (in juice or light syrup) will do.
- 1 small to medium very ripe banana
- 1 or 2 soft pears
- 3-4 figs
- One or two other fruits. They love peach, mango, pear, banana, dates, figs, grapes and all manner of berries – especially strawberries. Just about any fruit will do, but try not to use citrus fruit.
- 100 grams (one individual serving size container) of low fat yogurt, plain or any non-citrus fruit flavour. Any brand will do, but the ‘live’ bacterial culture provides extra benefits so it’s the preferred kind.
