New, black-eyed crestie
Circle of life is weird somedays. In the morning I found my 9 years old snake dead and I was really shaken badly by it. Yet, the same day I lost one of my pets I also got a one new, so it's all weirdly good and sad at the same time.
Meet my new beloved crestie, he's really beautiful (on the pics he was fired down/in partial fire up) and soo sweet and gentle, just walked on my hand like there is no hurry in the world <3 It's soo different than my adopted boy who hates me with passion.
Sorry that some pics are a little blurry, the light was rather bad. Also, any ideas on a name?
(Tried to do a good pics of his amazing black metallic eyes, but it's not that easy, haha! So I posted one from his breeder page for you to see. And yes, he was born with them, he is now around 14grams, so still a very young boy)

Re: New, black-eyed crestie
Those eyes are gorgeous.
Perhaps a name that references then somehow? Like Pebble or Obsidian?

His eyes started to brighten a little, so I'm not sure how they will look in a few months. I'm also super mad at myself because it turned out today that my husbands phone camera is great for macro shots, and it's now too late to get a good macro pics of his black-black eyes.
These are from today, you can see that right eye is still darker, while the left has a lot of brigter "marbling":

Did some update pics of Zoltan during cleaning. As you can see his tail is slightly wavy, I hope that since it's a little over a month sine I noticed it and started giving him extra calcium with his Repashy it won't get any worse. I'm observing him closely and doing pics once a month to make sure it stays like this, if the extra calcium will not be enough and the tail will get even slightly worse then we'll go to the vet.
I'm still mad at myself for letting this happen, but I certainly learned my lesson and all our geckos/lizards are now watched closely (and supplemented with each feeding practically, depends on species). Especially as our big beardie male developed some slight underbite due to very big growth spurts (even though he was getting lots of calcium with each feeding it was still not enough). I sometimes feel like lizards are soo much harder to care than snakes... But at the same time more rewarding too <3

Since it is only in that one spot, it almost looks like he might have gotten his tail pinched in something. Any sign of floppy tail syndrome? Doesn't look like it from the photos.
He is a stunning boy.

Thank you!
It was my fault, with looking for a new house and some personal issues I didn't had enough time to properly check on all our reptiles... And we couldn't find Repashy/Pangea so both he and another crestie were getting mostly insects and some fruit "shakes" I mixed for them for a month. It would be okay if I had remembered to supplement that with calcium more often, but with all the other issues going on I only dusted once in a while and hadn't realised that without cgd they are not getting enough calcium. After a month I noticed that both males got their tails slightly wavy, so I started giving them extra calcium asap and learned my lesson
Since both of them don't have any other symptoms I'm sure it was calcium related. Shows that even more experienced owners can do stupid mistakes.
