Lots of Crested Photos

Here's a stubtail juvie curled up in a piece of egg crate...thought it was a cute pic.

Breeder male - Pastel Orange Tiger


Here's a nice Dalmatian female going into shed...looks like a jogging suit.


Same girl after she shed.


Same girl laying eggs.


Here's a neat little female. She was a paranoid, bitey little brat as a juvie, hence the stubtail.


Same as above, when she escaped for three days and got busted hanging out in my fake palm tree. lol



Here's a horse of a female. She weighs about 40 grams and she's only about 9-10 months old.


Reddish female.


Here's a juvie something...I don't know what I'd call this one. It's got all kinds of different traits mixed in.


Same as above, only darkened up a little...this was taken in the hotel room when I was in Philly for the show a few weekends ago.


This is a juvie harlequin. This pic reminds me of a lion stalking its prey...only smaller and not so hairy.


Same one above with its clutchmate...frick and frack. They just look like they're up to no good.


A dark harlequin juvie.


Light colored harlequin juvie. This one's sides almost look like a slate grey color at times.

wow, those are very nice geckos, great pictures too! I LOVE your red female!! That female that has some of every trait, she's very, very unique looking, especially in the picture taken in the hotel room. I'm sure your geckos have/will make some nice looking babies!

Thanks

Thank you, everyone.


Steve,

I've got a little over a dozen right now...just 1.4 adults, though. I just got into them around the beginning of the year. I'd like to eventually get to where I've got around a dozen or more producing females, but who knows...that might be more than I really want to deal with

Here's a picture of an adult enclosure.



Basically, I give them a nest box and a bunch of egg crates to crawl on. It's a lot easier to keep things clean when you can throw everything away when you clean the cages.

There's even more photos on my site, if anyone's interested.

LMAO. I've had several people ask why its tail is so fat since I got him/her. That one also has a big head.

I don't think that it has anything to do with nutrition. It could, but I really think it's just how some are built. There is a lot of variation in the body structure of Crested Geckos. I've seen some with such strong crests, that they almost look hairy.

Thanks

you can get egg cartons at grocery stores, petshops, lots of places for free. ask a petshop, usually when you buy crickets they might put one in the bag, so ask for some extra

You might be able to get them at the grocery store if you know someone (I don't know why they would have empty egg crates, though). I have heard of people asking for them at McDonalds, etc., though.

Don't get them at the pet store. They're going to be covered in cricket feces, which defeats the purpose of trying to keep the cage clean...obviously not healthy.


I actually get my egg crates from http://www.eggcartons.com. They're $19.00 (US) for 140 of them. .
