Not ATM, I’ve been spending time in the snake room recently. I’ll try to get some pics in the next few days, I really want to see the girlies with the flowers. Not sure I’ll get a pic of Gingerbread Latte as she has been super grumpy since being paired with Milkyway, not sure if that’s a good sign or not lol
I think I’ll quarantine for about 1.5 months to be safe. She looks a lot like a female (I could easily tell today) but I couldn’t get a picture. Maybe if she’s at a good angle I can get one sometime. As far as weight, is it okay to handle a few days after getting them? I’m not going to handle today since I’m going to feed my other geckos tonight but if I can I might tomorrow. The enclosure dried out very quickly before since the entire front was a screen (tank turned on its side). I covered most of it with clear saran wrap so she should fire up easier now. I doubt I’ll breed her but maybe someday I will.

Looks female, no big old bulge of a male there 
As for handling. As you can tell I’m a very hands on owner! I handle from day one, I take them out the tubs they come in or what I collect in, have a look at them, get some photos and put them in the vivs. Then the next day I’m back in to say hello again! Wish Raspberry would get I’m not a threat yet! But shes in with Nelson for a few days so she doesn’t have to deal with me atm haha.
But Even with the hatchlings, I handle from day 1, as I move them to their enclosures I handle them anyway, then again the next, then usually every other day I get them out to see them!
I love that they go to new owners tame and friendly, and still get compliments on that which makes me happy!
So will be fine handling her now!
Would love some more pics when you can! And of your other cresties also!

Handling is more of a preference.
I handle all my Cresties once received to check them over & get a few pics. But once I’ve done that, I like to let my Cresties settle in before I handle them, usually a couple of days.
My rule of thumb is to make sure they are exploring the enclosure and eating well before I handle them too much. But at the same time if I have one that isn’t eating I will hold it and pop a little bit of CGD on its nose too see if that stimulates it feeding response.
Strawberry has been the worst to settle in, I think she was hand fed by her previous owner as she would eat if out for a cuddle, but not in her enclosure. She’s finally eating in her enclosure…took at least 7 months of persistence.
I’d attempt to feed insects straight away though. Strawberry is my only Crestie that doesn’t eat insects.
Tbh she does look female, I managed to look on the computer and couldn’t see any pores which is usually easier to tell on a light Crestie, rather than a dark Crestie so hopefully she is female

They’re an Amazing morph, so many spot types!
She’s a Tangerine Super Dalmatian with blush trait.
I have other Super dals also. The other half isn’t keen apart from the pairing currently as he’s ‘sick of spots in everything’ 
But I’m mad on it!

I have to agree with your other half, I prefer spots on plain Cresties so it’s more appreciated, that being said I have a couple of dalmation Cresties but they are also tri-colour etc. they were cute and I couldn’t resist it’s funny because when they are fired up I can barely see the spots but then when they fire down they look like a completely different Crestie 
I’m sure I find cuteness in every Crestie

So the girlies wouldn’t fire up, typical!
I took pics of Caramel & Vanilla anyway. Caramel is carrying duds but she still posed both Cresties have suddenly (this week) got white spots

Misty seems to have a red dorsal stripe. I don’t know if anyone knows anything about this but in a certain lighting there is a very distinct red stripe that takes up some of the back area. If I can get a picture that shows it I’ll post it. Has anyone heard of it or knows of a gecko that has it?

Assuming when fired up and she’s a different colour as not shoving on other pics?
But yes a few of mine have it when fired, get this strange stripe, even goes down to the tail 
Love how random patterns are Cresties! And how much they can change!!

Definitely need to see a pic of her fired up as I can’t see it on the other pics

When I got her she wasn’t fired up since there wasn’t enough humidity (the entire front was screen, I’ve since covered most of it).
Get that girl in a tub with some water
Usually works! USUALLY! I have geckos that don’t care so still won’t fire lol

I tried it but she was hidden behind a piece of bark (the tank’s set up with hiding places everywhere, I can’t get to her without poking and prodding and that’s not a great way to start handling). I’ll try it later tonight when she’s out.
