Crested geckos are among the largest gecko species. Among the most distinctive features of these geckos are the hair-like projections found above the eyes, which greatly resemble eyelashes.

Crested geckos also have two rows of small spines that run from the sides of their wedge-shaped head to the base of their tail. The toes have small claws which aid in climbing surfaces to which their toes cannot cling.

Crested geckos have many naturally-occurring colour groups, including grey, brown, red, orange, and yellow of various shades.

Unlike lots of other lizards, crested geckos’ tails don’t grow back if they’re lost. Because of this, a lot of these lizards don’t have tails in the wild.

Not only do they not have eyelashes, but they lack eyelids as well. They keep their eyeballs clean and moist by licking them.
