I think the reason we like reds do much is because they are awkward lol
Have to wait ages for colour to show through and itâs usually hard to capture the true red on camera lol plus my red Crestie is a fussy eater. She is finally eating a reasonable amount of food, but no insects. Hopefully she will gain weight in time for breeding next year although I may be looking for another red incase she never makes it to breeding weight.
I want to see some more of the white/lavender and green cresties! I donât know the morph names or specific color names but the lavender looking ones and the green babies are so pretty to me
Lavender and olive!
Iâm waiting for a couple of mine to get older as May be lavender.
But I donât currently work with olive as I sold my male, as unless putting to a red, or Orange, you donât really get out nice morphs or colours and theyâre all a bit âbrownâ.
Blooming gutting about our Harold considering that heâs a lavender!
Keep being asked about Zombie being one too, sheâs just grey and a strange pinstripe thing haha
Clutches here from Harold should be a few weeks Iâd say. So will see how they do! The 2 from him are doing amazing and nothing wrong so Iâm hoping just a bad few clutchesâŠ.
And Iâm hoping for these 2 here to be lavenders (not from him though)
Unsure as heâs taking up room for another male.
So he may go to the others halfâs friend who has god knows how many reptiles and a few rescues! So we can keep updated too then! He even had a rescue off us last year we took on with 4 others that was skin and bone with severe floppy tail! And he loves him and carries him around everywhere haha
Wouldnât trust selling him as people may think âwell Iâll try!â And no. No you wonât
Oh same here! And an Axanthic Lily! Also, a Melanistic (Youâll love them) but that will be further down the line again since that breeder in Korea only last year I think it was produced them!!
Very true, I think I want one of every morph / trait / colour lol
Yellow base with off white dorsal would be lovely
Looks like I will be getting Berb soon
I sooooo canât wait, although her enclosure isnât complete yet as the Tradescantia zebrina isnât grown enough to put in (Iâm making another hanging basket) so I will have to get the rest ready and add that in later.
Bio-active part has been ready for about a month with 2 plants so will just need to do the finishing touches.
@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 werenât necessary, just for my preference. I was also wondering if you could guarantee sex for me. Iâm thinking female (and she was purchased as one) but I figured Iâd ask. I also wanted to know how long I should quarantine for. I have her in an extra bedroom (used for storage) and Iâll 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 sheâs a she alright
Since I know where my Cresties come from with breeders I get from I donât 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 donât 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.
Heâs in the same âreptile outhouseâ as everyone else, and whatâs 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 wouldnât worry at all!
They said they had 2 other geckos but they didnât have space for all of them since they were moving. I havenât 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. Doesnât 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.
Iâve never had a Crestie tested so not sure on that - they have all seemed healthy, but Iâm sure the vet could check somehow of you wanted. If I had any reason to believe they had anything, I wouldâve 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 (wonât 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 wouldnât 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 greyâs are both really appealing, especially when they have little to no pattern on them.
I like the cream and lavenders, I havenât seen many though.
If your interested in learning morphs I have made a morph guide on here (itâs a working progress). I havenât 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
