@foxreptile@ghoulishcresties She was a craigslist find (from someone moving), so a pet rather than for breeding plans. She was cared for very well. I only needed to make a couple of modifications to the enclosure and they werenāt necessary, just for my preference. I was also wondering if you could guarantee sex for me. Iām thinking female (and she was purchased as one) but I figured Iād ask. I also wanted to know how long I should quarantine for. I have her in an extra bedroom (used for storage) and Iāll feed her last and use supplies around her last. I was wondering how long she should be in quarantine and if there was a test to make sure she can come out of quarantine (like getting a negative fecal) Sorry for the circle around the pictures, I recently got a mirrorless camera and I need an adapter to shoot with my lenses.
Oh I love a bright gecko!
Yeah sheās a she alright
Since I know where my Cresties come from with breeders I get from I donāt actually quarantine them. With the new girls a couple weeks ago they got added in with my other females straight away. But I knew they were all kept separate and healthy. I know a lot of people and breeders who donāt have have never quarantined at all too.
Pongo was also kept alone (not from a breeder) but he had own viv, was never bred etc.
Heās in the same āreptile outhouseā as everyone else, and whatās been since I brought him home. But obviously being a male got his own viv anyway!
I know that some people do like to quarantine though, and ranges from 2 weeks to 2 months though.
So it all depends on how you feel about it!
If was their only Cresties and kept alone etc I personally wouldnāt worry at all!
They said they had 2 other geckos but they didnāt have space for all of them since they were moving. I havenāt quarantined my others since the crested geckos all came from breeders and my leopard geckos came from a total of 3 breeders.
I quarantine all my new Cresties. Doesnāt matter if they were with other Cresties or not as diseases etc could come from substrate, lack of cleaning, water & food bowl or even insect feeders.
I quarantine in the same room but further apart from the rest and I do food etc separate. I do so for 1 month but I know some people have quarantined for longer.
Iāve never had a Crestie tested so not sure on that - they have all seemed healthy, but Iām sure the vet could check somehow of you wanted. If I had any reason to believe they had anything, I wouldāve taken them to the vet & quarantined longer.
I agree looks to be a she, but do you have any closer pics of her, just to be certain (wonāt let me zoom too much). How much does she weigh? If above 15g then definitely a female.
Do you have any pics of her fired up? She looks awesome, as does the enclosure
She could still be bred, as long as she is bred to a Crestie with good lineage to counter act her lack of lineage, however you are more likely to get kinder surprises and the value will be slightly less, if only suggest to do so if she has good features eg. Wide crests. But you have plenty of time to decide on that
I meant the color in general! Like the creamish white with the lavender color. Like I said I wouldnāt know the names of morphs as I know next to nothing about cresties. Never really interested me before, but I am finding quite a few colors and patterns I like so I might look into them a bit more now! Overall the super rich dark colors like deep reds, browns, and greens, and super pale creamy whites and greyās are both really appealing, especially when they have little to no pattern on them.
I like the cream and lavenders, I havenāt seen many though.
If your interested in learning morphs I have made a morph guide on here (itās a working progress). I havenāt put much as far as colours go as most are just called the colour they are but I might add it in at a later date.
I have a deep red and cream girl names strawberry she is a lovely calm girl, this is her below. Cream on dark colours are my favourite
UGH Harold!!
He was going to be going to our Lily too!
Sheās just been put to our new red quad instead.
So blooming annoyed about it.
If the babies are ok May try him again to see if just really bad luck!
Thought Iād check some babies today to see sex as a lot are 3g.
Checked 6/7 of them randomly.
All looking female. Now what are the odds of that?! Will check same ones when theyāre 5g but I have always been female heavy with babies here so Looks like Iām going to find it even harder with who stays! I was hoping it would be oh thatās a male so this one stays situation but nopeā¦
Big Mama only actually ever produced 2 males in over 3 years with Kaneki!
