Goodbye little harliquin hatchling
This morning I checked on my three crestie hatchlings that I had bought at the south haven repticon in october, and noticed that my favorite, the haliquin was lethargic and didn't do the usual jumping to escape when I held it and when I put it back in it's critter keeper it was like it was of ballance and had it's leg almost hiked, I thought it was the temps so I bumped up the space heater in my herp room to 77f. A few minutes ago I went to check on them and the gecko was lying motionless on it's side in a strang position not breathing.
I buried it in the yard just now. :tombstone.

I'm sorry! It's always sad to lose one. :tears:
I thought cresties liked it a bit cooler?

I was into cresties for awhile, but eventually decided to rehome them and get more into BP's. I rehomed them all to what I thought were great homes, but I recently found out that one lil girl (my oldest, strongest, best looking girl) died 'mysteriously' (it was a strange craigslist transaction for some other post). Come to find out, the guy basically cooked the poor girl, and had her housed more like a beardie then a crestie. I even printed out care sheets, very good information for each owner, along with a months worth of food.
I'm still kinda angry about it. :mad:
Thats awfull! I'm sorry to here that.
