I completely agree that it is extremely difficult to really understand that they are so amazing when you donāt have one.
Canāt wait to see pics of them I am also purchasing a female from Extreme Cresties this will have to be my last one until I have the babies or Iām not going to be able to keep as many babies . But I just need this girl
I really struggle not purchasing Cresties
People just donāt understand unless they have reptiles
Oh youāve gotta show me. Grab a pic and Iāll grab the 2 of ours!
Is it the pin or Harley by any chance??
Itās the Berb the soft scale think I will change her name though as it doesnāt fit in. Iāve added the link to the ad.
Gotta wait for courier though
Which 2 did you get?
Ah saw her! Iāve got a Barb, youāve got a berb!
Which courier? Steve starts 2nd august!
We got the chubby red harley female and the red pin Male! He sent me another pic and the rolls she has Sheās in full shed though so will see her properly on Saturday!
Thing is with her name. If a known name people will know her if you mention Berb, so when you produce babies from her people will know who she is just by her name and should know she was from extreme etc. If you change maybe put (previously Berb) then people should still know!
Like pumpkin here, people know who she is
If no one can ever have just 1 crestie then itās a good thing I got two! They arrive next week! It was important to me that they be easily handleable, so I looked for that and found two adults.
The girl crestie
The boy crestie
We need pics as soon as you get them!
You planning on breeding?
Seriously considering breeding. But I need to do a fair bit more research first.
Very pretty, will they be in separate enclosures?
I had already thought about the previous name being stated in it for this reason, I might keep the name, it just doesnāt fit in with my theme!
I thought you might of got those two Extreme Cresties have some lovely Geckos. It was hard to say no to the others, but Berb has the cream, the soft scale and the dark base I loveā¦ Plus she came from quad with great lineage so she fits in with several different males here.
I expect some tangerine babies will come if her as well
I plan to breed a super soft scale when Rainbow Drop is big enough. Plus with her lineage and Milkywayās, babies will be hot . She may eventually go with honeycomb and Coco too. Iām hoping to produce a quadstripe out of her as she has it in the genes but that might take a while.
Courier is Ridgeway, so hopefully wonāt be long she will need to settle for a while before I pair her, she may not breed till early next year due to British cold weather
Yeah she was cool, we did look at Berb. But weāve found a soft scale elsewhere thatās a Male we may get. And with already having females thought we best not, and wanted to add more red lines!
Theyāll probably be added together too as got drippy from bloodbath which is a red Lilywhite on the males side. And adding Harley usually brings this out! So was a must for more drippy reds! Also a future male for Akira most likely as we are wanting red tricolour Quadstripes out. And beast boy will have the chubby girl eventually in hopes for red and cream tricolours.
As you can tell Iām tri mad
Love quads, the ones we are getting here now are tangerine other than that phantom!
Will be cool to see what you produce too! We could even swap lines in the future
Oh donāt talk to me about British weather. Had enough of it! One minute we get heat and itās either perfect or melting you, the next itās thunder and bucketing downā¦ Whatās happening!
We were treating some koi day before last and it decided that then would be a good time to absolutely pour down! I was soaked right through I had to drip through the house to get more clothes
I know the weather is ridiculous ATM.
I saw the red and thought, I like herā¦ But I really wanted another soft scale from AC reptile line, because he named them, they seem to be of more value. And extreme Cresties are 1 of 2 places in UK that are working with them (ATM) and Rainbow Drop was from the otherā¦ Hopefully it spreads the genes out a little.
I love tri-colours, Iāve got several here and seeing that strawberry is tri-colour, hopefully sheās eating enough to breed soon I figured Iād wait before I buy another red. Berb has great lineage which is what I wanted (hence the price) and although I want lavender and yellow etcā¦ Dark base are my favourite. So I had to make the decision, 1 Crestie at higher price or 2 at lower price but will take longer to reach my goals. So I took the plunge.
Your 2 are lovely, canāt wait for pics
Yes on swapping in the future, maybe I will have a future red soft scale male I could send over for Akira or maybe even Berb with your superstripe oh the possibilities
HD also are working with them too
Thereās other breeders also working with soft scale now that Iāve found online! Theyāre gonna be everywhere soon so best get into them now!
Ooooh donāt Tempt me
Would be awesome though, and you know what weāre producing here! Iām going to make a website Iāve decided to show pairings this year and next, my males and females, any looking to fly etc.
Yours is awesome, my mum liked the layout! She does a lot of website work etc
Thanks. Send the link when your done and I can check it out. Just be careful about putting what your selling on your website as it can sometimes look more like a business. I plan to do a page on paired animals but thought Iād wait till Iām pairing a few. Hopefully Berb will settle really well and I can breed her soon, but will see. Her health is most important.
Hd Cresties only have Facebook, which I do not have and will not use.
A lot have only just got into them so not breeding yet and there are a few selling them as soft scale when they are not soft scale so you need to be careful. Plus if itās not AC line it doesnāt seem to have as much value. Not that Iām too fussed on value, but I want to produce Cresties that people are more likely to buy
Thankyou!
I will do,
Yeah thatās what I thought. I like Crestie addicteds layout as well as yours! Godaddy also looks good?
I donāt have Facebook either! Itās not a great site. I donāt have any social media
Itās from Crestie jungle so same place as yours, and also thereās another on extremes page but I donāt want the Dal spots so!
Been looking at Anthonyās and will defo get one in the future for sure! Tangerine to go with our tangerine lines!
I looked at go daddy but the website we wanted would of been far too expensive after first year. Donāt get me wrong I might upgrade to a paid version eventually but since Iām not selling any Cresties yet itās more outgoings, plus I didnāt want people thinking itās a business as itās a hobby (at least for now).
Crestie jungle have some nice soft scales, I wouldāve got another from them, but I wanted them from different parents and AC Reptiles would mean shipping from overseas and OMG Iām not ready for the panic of will it make it etc
Once I get into breeding the Cresties weāll have to look to see if there is anything in particularly interesting that our Cresties could make together
Omg Iām so bad!!
I picked up a Super Dalmation yesterday and I didnāt update you all!!
And obviously Pongo is his name!
Also I have rehomed 5 cresties this month, 2 going tomorrow and 3 when Steve collects them this month,
One of which is this little miss! Iām gonna miss this little one and most likely regret letting her go
I feel like Iāve lost a lotā¦ Am I mad for thinking thatā¦ Im so sadā¦
Wow that head is huge for one years old!
