New Cal Geckos and their Diet

I’m a leopard gecko girl but due to space I wanted to try New Cal’s so I went with a gargoyle. I have had the little guy for a few months and do the pangea diet and crickets but i have done countless research and I want the best food possible for my little guy. (Getting a crested and chahoua soon as well because i feel in love with my gargoyle)

In the wild all the new cal’s (chahoua/crested/gargoyle) eat way more protein than I think we offer. Especially gargoyles just based on their teeth alone. Basically they eat each other and that’s a lot more protein compared to crickets and roaches. Pinkies have too much fat content. Anyone have knowledge or experience in this topic and can share?

Not interested in breeding any of mine but I’ve listened to a few podcasts about the benefit of heavy protein when breeding but I just want to know what knowledge is out there. Just looking to be the best care taker I can.

And yes I probably am overthinking it all but i can’t help it lol

Tank Humidifiers?

Anybody use humidifiers for their crested/gargs/chahouas and have advice or guidance on them? I have a 3 week trip in a few months and wanted to see about setting something up so the person taking care of them just has to change their food.

Crested vs Garg vs Chahoua

I have a gargoyle gecko and am getting a chahoua as well as a crested gecko later this month. (Yes I know i went out of order since crested is what people typically start with lol). I know the care is very similar I just wanted to know from people's experience with the three what the biggest differences is either with temperments, care, or anything really. I know the big one is insect requirements but what else?
