Introducing our new cresties!

OK - here they are, our tailless wonders! Both came from the same breeder, but one was purchased at the show (Poindexter) and one we got on a silent auction (Uncle Cracker - named for Jamie's spiked hair! LOL)

What color pattern would they be considered?

congrats! the first is an orange and creme partial pinstripe tiger flame (looks like it has a few dalmation spots too). the second is a brown and orange dalmation flame.

i especially like the first one--very nice choice! :)

Very nice! :sweeet: How sweet. I love the dalmation spots. :clap:

Wow Emily those darn cresties have a better sounding pedigree than most of us humans LOL.

OK, I get the orange and creme part, and the tiger part. Explain the partial pinstripe and flame part on the first one.

I guess the flame part would then be explained for the second one!

Love these little buggers - but we can't find them in McCastle! LOL

the flame is highlighted below in blue/green and the pinstriping in pink:

a flame (also referred to as a fire) generally has a lighter colored dorsal area than the rest of its body. pinstriping is usually cream in color and is a row of elongated scales that runs along each side of the dorsal area--it is like a continuation of the crests down the gecko's back. obviously, partial pinstriping is when the rows do not run completely from the crests to the base of the tail.

Ahhh, gotcha - so, I thought I got the tiger part - see if I'm right. The tiger part is the markings IN the flame, right?

the tiger pattern is marked in yellow. it can be on anywhere on the gecko and does sometimes extend into the flame patterning.

Oh right...duh, I saw this thread, hehe...

When they get settled in, I wanna see a picture of a grinning Karl holding his baby! =D

I'll be sure to do that, Cass!
