Are crested geckos good with children?

Crested geckos as pets

Crested geckos are relatively easy lizards to look after, and make great pets for older children and adults. Smaller geckos can be very delicate, so younger children must be supervised when handling them.

How old should you be to own a crested gecko?

I would recommend buying a baby crested gecko that's at least two months old. Before that age, there's a risk that the crestie will refuse to eat and will eventually die. Generally caring for a baby crested gecko is also a bit harder than caring for an older crestie.
