Do crested geckos need any heat or uv? I have calcium with d3, and my room is about mid 80s?
80's is too high.... normal room temp is ideal.
Uv is not needed, but having one cannot hurt.
They don't need uv-b. I provide mine with an under tank heater stuck to the side of the enclosure.
Let's clear something up. "Whole prey" has nothing to do with whether or not the prey item has a back bone. "Whole prey" just means that the prey item is being fed in its entirety: brains, heart, lungs, blood, the entire animal. Whole animal+intention of feeding it to another animal=Whole Prey.
Crested geckos are nocturnal so the is no need for a uvb light if ur enclosure has live plants you may want to use one. Also like Maryelizabeth mentioned mid 80s is too high for them, they might start dropping their tails due to stress from the heat.
Also if you are feeding crested gecko diet you do not need the extra calcium since CGD has everything they need already included
CGD is well balanced on its own and it's all you really need - BUT when feeding live more than once or twice a month, you should have a good insect dust.
