Super Dalmatian Crested Gecko

We’re thinking male, but I'm new at this. He’s my sister’s. He’s really sweet and jumps way far so you have to be careful. He’s too cute though, VERY photogenic. You put your finger under his chin and tip his head up he keeps it up, which is the reason for many fo the cute head up photos.

His looks like a regular dalmation (still very cute and great pics!)

Here's an example of a super dalmation:

The spots are usually MUCH bigger and all over the body. That is the famous Chips from ACReptiles (I love him lol)

ZEKESMOM, Rhapsody said it all. ^^

Rhapsody, he was sold to us as a super dali. I've never been interested in dalis myself so I don't know much about the pattern. I was told his spots would get bigger and develope with age (like a real dalmations do). But he's cute no matter what. :3

He is just adorable! He looks easy to handle too!

He is a dalmation, although, dont know that I would call him a super dalmation... with age he could very well end up a super, but it is one of those wait and see things.

Who is the breeder, I would love to see what else he/she has? I would like to find another with dal spots for my collection, currently, I have 3 with dal spots, just no definate female at this time for either one of the two known males.

it's true that the spots on some dalmations get bigger and more of them come with time, so he could end up to be a super after all :D I'm crossing my fingers on a gecko I got from petco. He looks like he has more spots then when i first got him :P

Here is an older pic of my super dot:

I got her from katiescresteds.com I bought her a couple months ago and Katie had four or five super females to choose from :) She was great to buy from too.

Ahhh. Well, I don't care if he has no spots. ^^ He's cute as he is. But I'll keep you updated with the spot progress.

yours does have spots, they're just small right now cause he's a lil baby :P i call them "peppered dalmations" cause it looks like they're covered in pepper :D

i love it's red coloring though. if it's spots do get bigger he'll be a great red dalmation (chips is a red super :) )

Here's another super (it might be chips again but i dunno lol)

Yeah, that's Chips again :P

They are amazing looking animals:D Mine will be 4 mths old in 5 days and I am still not sure what sex it is! Does anyone know when I should be able to tell the sex?

oh geez....ummmm :P i have a bunch of babies right now, and i'm not even sure how old they are. i know the sex of my adults and they're all around one year or so. I have a sub adult thats maybe 8 months? I'd guess around that time you should be able to see a buldge or not.

There's also something called looping where you take a magnifier and check for pores...I dont know much about it at all so hopefully someone else can elaborate on that one :D

That's exactly what it is. The breeder of my gargoyle sexed him that way earlier, but I have no idea what to look for. O_o

What do your babies look like right now?!

dot, ace, and secret agent man, are my three adults. hot pocket is a sub adult male, and the rest are my babies :)

Awwww, they're all so cute.

Hmm....is there anyone in Tucson that could come and tell me what sex my baby crestie is...I hate that it does not have a name yet :(

I know what you mean completely. Maybe you can google a breeder in the area?

Good idea! Thanks

good luck finding one :) maybe you could even take him to a local exotic vet and ask them? i dont think it'd cost anything to just have them take a look

and you could always name it and change it later :P i named all my babies and i have no clue what sex they are!! :D when i first got crested geckos i didnt even know how to tell the difference in adults and i named an adult female secret agent man :oops: i call her sam for short :cool:

Uhg. Vets around here cost money just to breathe the same air as the vet. >_>

LOL

ok back to sexing geckos:PI am in the middle of moving...just got back from the new house. I am not sure about giving it a girl or boy name. Let me tell you a little story about this one and maybe you guys can give me some suggestions for a name.
This past Saturday I put some 2 week old crickets in with it...it was the second time that I have given it crickets. The first time it ate a few and I finally got the last few out and gave them to our tarantula. Well, this time I put them in and he immediately starts "hunting" and eating...so I leave the room. I go back in about an hour later and look in the tank and their are body parts everywhere! LOL The little one went on a murder spree:D So can you think of any quirky names?????

Hmmm. no suggestions yet:confused:

Killer? :P Hunter, Massacre, Chomper....cant think of anything else :D

Thanks! I have a chihuahua in the family named killer so I have decided to go with Chomper!!!!!:P
