Despite their bulging eyes and preferred diet of crickets, mealworms, and waxworms, the crested gecko's goofy smile and tiny little hands (just look at them! They're so tiny!) make them some of the cutest reptiles that can be kept as pets.

Crested geckos were thought to be extinct, but were "rediscovered" back in 1994. Since then, their low-maintenance care and funny personalities have made them extremely popular pets. Because they're super simple to care for, crested geckos make excellent pets for kiddos or beginner reptile pet parents.

Crested geckos come in a wide array of colors and markings (morphs). They get their name from the fringed crest that begins over their eyes and runs down their necks and backs, though the size of the crest varies.
