Darth Smeagol

It doesn't quite show up on the pics, but tonight Smeagol is the darkest, the most fired up I have ever seen him.

Not sure why. He seems perfectly happy.

Handsome as always. :P I love seeing his color phases.

I think it has to do with him being both healthy & happy to the max. "I am GECKO, hear me ROAR!" :cool:

I am so glad you enjoy your Crestie so much now all I have to do is convince you to get something else :D

As far as color change and firing up, they do change color from hatchling to adult and firing up well depends, it can happen for the slightest reasons such as spraying, evening time etc.

As much as I prefer bright snakes, when it comes to geckos I like them on the dark side, just like him.

He is super dark today. The phone cam just isn't picking it up. Even the orange on his face seems to have a dark brown wash all over it. It is so strange, I look at him and he is so dark, then I look at my phone while trying to make the pic, and his oranges look brighter.

Oh well. He is quite the little dark one tonight, wonder what got him all fired up, LOL !!

About the convincing to get something else, where are new pictures and updates on your cute teeny tiny little Leachie? :D

Hey human, lemme outta here!!

Never Underestimate The Power of The Rhacodactylus!


Seriously Zina10, I was talking with Ezzy, and she agrees with Deborah, you need something else, like a Leachie now!

I don't pretend to be a Crestie expert. However, Boas change color throughout the day and there does not seem to be a rhyme or reason that I can see. Behira certainly does not seem in a better or worse mood, for example, when she is in her light phase or dark phase, or in between. Just an observation. Cresties could be entirely different. Additionally, the only way I know Ezzy (Leachie) is annoyed with me/us is she literally yells/barks/clicks at us. She can be very vocal. Again, I know all Geckos can "speak" but not sure if Cresties are "talkers."

Very nice indeed

Doesn't he, though ? I keep thinking the same thing !! Especially with those crests and his wide triangular head. Plus he always has that fierce expression in his eyes, haha.

I should have called him Smaug instead !!

When he was little, he looked so awkward and cute. Now he looks wicked and fierce, you can almost envision little wings tucked up on his back :) He's still my lil buddy, though :)

He can be something else, though. Since I'm not spoiling him at all and I do not have literally about EVERY SINGLE crested gecko food and flavor (oh, at least 13 or so :rolleyes:) I thought I'd try a flavor he previously didn't care so much for. This morning the little dish is upside down on the bottom of the cage. Seriously, Smeagol ? :mad:

No kidding !

What a little drama queen, though. :rolleyes:

Look what I found on google images :)

So cool !! Wish they had put that intense/fierce gaze on it, that they tend to have :D
