Hey everyone, I bought a new crested gecko last night. My first gecko ever. He's going to be awesome. I got him from Jeff Torberg in Calgary. Thanks Jeff. Let me know what you think. He's around 8 months old. I tought I would get an adult since they are more hardy and I can screw up here and there maybe. What do you think Andy? CDN-Cresties? Cya.

Hey, sure is! Thanks a lot Spreeguy. I was wondering why it was so small. He is quite interesting so far. A nice addition to my small snake collection. Thanks again.

Nice looking crestie Mike. Is it male or female? Yeah watching them hunt is awesome. Does it change color much from day to night?

Cresties are so cool, great looking little guy you have there. :) I've done business with Jeff T. as well in the past, he's a good guy to deal with, and I will be getting some more animals from him in the future. :)

Andy, it's a male. Jeff bought them as a pair and then one day they both had a bulge, so he got rid of one. He's pretty cool. He changes colors quite a bit. During the day he'll be light almost white with black spots and at night if I open the enclosure to change stuff around or spray he'll change a tan color. Also, on his own he'll change at night. Thanks for the compliments guys. My girlfriend's mom is pretty hesitant when it comes to reptiles but she saw my little guy yesterday and now she wants my girlfriend to get one lol, it's contagious. Yea Reddragon, he was really good to deal with. Answered all my questoins and ever threw in a bottle of repti-vitamins. He recently just got out of the leopard gecko scene and is going to switch over into the crested gecko scene. I'm hoping to pick up a female crestie at the Taras show here. Anyone bringing any? Later guys.
