I caved

Hi,

OK I managed to sell a whole mess of snakes today for a good price so I decided to treat myself to some cute.

Total impulse buy I am ashamed to say - I only saw it yesterday. :oops:

It is tiny - only 3-3.5 inches nose to tail tip. :wuv:

So can someone tell me what the pattern is called on him - I think the seller said buckskin?

I may need to tweak the enclosure slightly but want to let him settle in a bit first.

They said in the shop he had been eating crickets and Komodo crested gecko diet so I have made up a little of the komodo but have also ordered some repashy base and some papaya flavour ( wanted mango but the seller was out ). How do you find out which flavour they like as at £8.99 ( $13.06 ) a bag buying all the flavours could get expensive. :weirdface

Since I think it is too small to sex I have decided to call it Lucien and change it to lucy if it turns out to be female.

So far lucien has had a drink from water droplets when I misted the tank but hasn't come down from the top of the viv to look at the food or the waterbowl.

Looks like an olive buckskin. wicked looking thing nice pickup

That is one cute crestie Derek. I never paid attention to geckos at all until I saw Steffe's cresties. Now I think they are the cutest things with those big eyes :D

Oh man so pretty! I keep avoiding anything Bearded Dragon related because I know I'm gonna end up getting one! Which I do want one, but not now :taz:

EDIT: Monica is really not helping with her Avatar... LOL.

Beardies are expensive little buggers their first year. You might be better off getting a crestie like that one up there lol.

My hands get clumsy from time to time. It just the way I am. I dont think a small lizard is a good idea. My friends have Leos and Crested. I try not to handle them too much lol. I really like Beardies, but not now!

Looks like a Harliquin to me, but I could be wrong, they are bloody cute! The misses and I went to a show a few months back to pick a crestie up, came home with two lol... Great lookin crestie.



Cheers

I knew you'd eventually get a crested! :D Cute little one too--it is a harlequin. The colors may change some as it grows, but it just depends on the genetics.

Nice harlequin!

"Caving in" is so easy with crested geckos. You won't regret it, I guarantee you :D

Just get the complete diet. It's the one that you don't have to mix--the flavor and base is all together in one mix. It's easier and pretty much all rhacs will eat it. :)
