This is my "new" crested gecko. He's about 2.5 years old and his name is Crusty, but I will be changing it soon. I'd been wanting a crestie for a while, so I was searching on Craigslist, saw him, and couldn't turn him down. He's really laid back (even though he loves to jump), he likes being held and he's a great and fun addition to our household.

He was being fed a diet of baby food and crickets by his previous owner and I've read that baby food isn't good for them, so I've been feeding him strawberry CGD and he LOVES it. He tears that stuff up! I can tell by the amount of poop I find in his cage on my weekly cleanings.

As you can see in the pictures I'm going to include, he's not really "fancy" like some of the geckos I see on here. He's a drab olive green color and his back fires up to a light chocolate brown color. He's got a little white fringing and some black and red spots, but that's about it. I don't really mind that he's kind of boring looking because he has the cutest little face and he's always smiling.

Anyway, here's my smiling little buddy, Crusty.

Here you can see a few of his spots, fringing, and the missing tip of his tail.






My favorite picture of him. Look at that cute little face!



If you're having a bad day, just look at Crusty's smiling face and it will cheer you right up! Thanks for looking!
