How many crested geckos can live together?

Crested geckos should not be breeding all year round, as this can quickly deplete their calcium stores and weaken the animal. As a hobbyist, we are trying to mimic their natural environment and in the wild, a crested gecko undergoes a cooling period. During the winter months in New Caledonia, a crested geckos metabolism slows, they spend less time awake during the nights and they do not breed in order to build up enough fat and calcium for the next season. In captivity, cresteds will lay egg from March/April - October/November. During this period, they will lay 2 hard shelled eggs 2-4 inches deep in moist soil every 30-45days. These eggs then incubate for 60-120 days depending on heat and moisture.
