Whoa! I just looked at the crested collection page on your website and let me just say that you had better be breeding (or planning to breed) that first harlequin male with this girl, because...DANG. :cool: :P

I just love the "smiles" on the faces.. :rofl: They make me laugh a lil. The licking the eye is normal?? So many cool ones.
So how do they lose their tail? is this common?

Licking their eyes is normal--since they don't have eyelids and can't close their eyes that is how they keep them moist.

They lose their tails in various ways--rough handling, a bite from or scuffle with a cagemate, in response to some sort of fear or trauma, during copulation, etc. It is quite common for them to lose their tails and sometimes entirely unavoidable. You might have a crested that you've owned for several years and one day you walk in and its tail is gone--it's just one of those things.

During the day when they are not "active" they are a paler color... at night when they get moving around, eating, crashing through their cages, :D etc. they get "fired up". It's when their colors are the darkest!

Generally around 30 grams is considered adult size. Some grow a little larger, but rarely top or surpass 40 grams.

Of course, some breeders like the larger variety and attempt (much like with ball pythons) to breed larger and larger geckos.

This is one of the questions to ask the breeder you plan to buy from; what the general size of his/her stock is. If you care. :P
