What morph is my crestie?

I have to agree LOVELY pinning. I’d say ur gecko is a harlequin pinstripe, not a tricolour. But i guess it’s a difference of opinion.

As quoted in the morph/trait guide
Tricolour crested geckos show three distinct colours that are displayed on the laterals, these colours must be equally shown to qualify, this includes the base colour. White spots, portholes and quadstripes are not included as one of the distinctive colours as they are separate traits. The Dorsal is also not considered as part of the Tricolour. The Dorsal will be like a Harlequin or Extreme.

If i’m correct 95F should be 29c. If so & as long as temps don’t go above 29c & not constant. Then the heat is okay (dependant on what & where it was). Also humidity should be around 90%.

Yes I agree the insects shouldn’t be in there, I have seen a few shops do the same & i WILL NOT buy a pet if it is not being cared for properly. Including them leaving insects in. It’s hard to walk away, but I agree with @mblaney . It’s just too higher of a risk on more reptiles.

Anyways, your gecko is gorgeous & appears healthy. Hope u enjoy ur new friend. I want to add (despite my reasoning against purchasing badly cared for geckos) I still wish to congratulate u as ur heart was in the right place.
