Some pics...and a little color change info.

This guy's first offspring hatched the other day, so I thought I should get some pics of him. I raised him up from a tiny hatchling, so it's cool to see his babies and how much they look like him.

Here's my favorite...she's breeding size, but I'm waiting for her future boyfriend (shown next) to put a little more size on before pairing them up.

I don't care how long you keep them, crested geckos are just weird looking at times. :p

Here's her future boyfriend...he's not even colored up in these pics, but still looks pretty good, IMO. :D

Here's a 4 month old juvie harlequin I've been raising. Looks nice and light in color, right? Believe it or not, this one started off very dark as a hatchling, then changed to this color. When it gets older, the blue/grey color will turn nearly black with a bright orange dorsal/side/leg pattern.

Here's an example of the color change that I described above...

Those are some really awesome cresteds! :D
I'm beginning to think that the mods here might need to ban you from posting pics until you can ship up to Canada and stop taunting us with geckos we can't have! :P Hilde?
Just kidding, you know I drool over practically every pic you post! ;)

[paulv]

a Crested will be my next gecko, only problem is that they are not freely available in SA.

hopefully soon!

[paulv]

BTW excellent photographs. What equipment are you using. Surely takes a lot of patience.

o> I'm not opposed to bribery from either party. ;)


I just love that first guy, and even have a couple of perfect mates for him. I bet he'd be happy living here in the Great White North.

Hehe...Thanks, guys. I've actually been looking into shipping to Canada...we'll see how it goes.

Hilde, I've got a couple of babies from that first male...the mother looks identical and the babies look just like they did as babies. Perhaps if I can get that shipping thing figured out.... ;)

PaulV, Thanks for the kind words. I use a Canon Powershot G5 and three or four full spectrum fluorescents in a white cage that I've converted to a light box.

spectacular geckos!
