Show Off Your Cresties 🤩

I know what I’ll do with my Christmas money. Buy more reptiles! Probably a mate for my hognose, but who knows. Maybe Irwin will be getting a mate :eyes:

So yes, my money will of course go towards a pet!

I just can’t decide whether to save it for a Crestie I really want but can’t currently afford, or to buy a gargoyle gecko or a fish :scream: such a hard decision! I can’t buy anything till my birthday so I’ve got a few days before I need to decide lol

Hubby has said I can’t have any more pets, but he’s coming around :smirk::grin:

I’d be inclined to say the magnets would need plastic back just incase there is something harmful to Cresties as I don’t think there is enough research on them.

Crestie :rofl:

As much as I adore my Legoshi, I feel like maybe you need to add another lady to your group. Just saying. :smirk:

We’re not bad influences, we’re simply encouraging her hobby. :joy:

I’m in no rush to decide, but if I buy another gecko, it means less babies to keep as space is limited.

Whereas a fish will go in a different area so won’t affect ratio I’m logically trying to work out how to have more pets lol I just don’t know if I could keep up with cleaning a fish tank. I don’t know why but I find it a chore, but I don’t mind cleaning the geckos it snakes out. Plus I wouldn’t have any money for rare Cresties.

Saying bye to Reptiles is hard. We sold one of our spider Royal pythons and I almost didn’t want to let her go :sob:

Also I forgot to reply about the suction cups, I use paracord to make rope bridges and to fix things into place.

I’ve attached things to the holes at the back of the boxes so I only need to use suction cups in middle and front of enclosure.

I don’t know if hot glue gun would work (if used carefully)

@asher199212 what cuties! :heart_eyes:

@foxreptile we used hot glue to attach some plastic pipe for hides and it’s held up well. I do like the idea of using the paracord. I’m more nervous about mold with that.

I also hate fish as pets. So I’m no help there. Maybe a Leo or a fatty?


Caught Strawberry doing a nom. :blush:

Maybe consider getting a snake, like a royal, or even maybe a hog or a carpet, though I am kinda biased with those two. If not a snake, maybe some other gecko that you don’t already have, like a knob tail. I’ve also heard that scorpion tailed geckos are fun. Of course though, you could always just get more cresties, but I’d personally get something different.

:joy::joy::joy: I didn’t know either until I was looking for hatchling threads. And even then, it took me a while to realize whose clutch it was.

Hahaha I have missed so much :crazy_face:

I use parachute paracord it is waterproof providing you burn the edges so it can’t get inside. I have used it in most of my terrariums and appears super strong.

We currently have several royal pythons, including my favourite that we produced this year, firebee. Still haven’t named her yet but hubby been unwell. Prepare for photo bomb tomorrow :grin: (in snake thread). We also have 2 California king snakes & one goldfish in our small pond outside. We also have mice. Snakes are more hubbies thing as I won’t feed them, I just play and clean them out :grin:

We are hopefully expanding our pond next year, just need to decide on what we want 🤷 then we will get more goldfishes. we have all the snakes we want, until future babies are produced :grin:

We can’t have any reptile that lives majority on insects, purely because we won’t have anyone to feed them when we go on holiday.

We have had Leo’s and bearded dragons but they both had health issues and died younger than I would of liked :cry: I’m not opposed to them but I prefer Cresties :grin:

I’d like a mourning Gecko but the reproductive side of things puts me off. Or I’d like a full/half moon Betta fish or a super stripe gargoyle gecko or to save towards a rare Crestie or spend on the next Crestie I fall in love with :sweat_smile: That’s what I’ve narrowed my search down too.

Space is limited as we are focusing on breeding Cresties and royals this year so no big pets! Hubby would love a bigger snake further down the line :grin: But we are looking to build a rack as the next big project for the snakes, I just can’t find a big enough tub :thinking:
