My First Crestie DUW

he doesn't get really dark but his background color is a fairly bright orange and his dorsal area is a lighter almost yellow. kinda like a bicolor. he also has these neat little almost greenish splotchy spots on his sides--got those from his dad. :)

sorry rapture--had to answer. i just can't help myself when it comes to cresteds. :D

I can't WAIT to see him in person !!!!! :D

well get to it! he's had plenty of time to settle and i'm sure he's accepting visitors by now! :P

No prob... I think this is why I said he was more colorful when I first took him out of the box... looks like he had more oranges on him. :)

I haven't seen him really dark yet.

Word. My boyfriend met him last night. ;)

if you want to get him fired up for you do the following:
- wait until after dark
- feed him
- mist down the cage
- turn out the lights
- come back in 5-10 minutes

ching! brightly colored crested. :P you can skip the feeding part if you want but i find that sometimes brings out even brighter colors than if you don't feed, especially if it's crickets you are feeding--get's them all excited. :)
