A couple more that I took pics of today.

This one's just ridiculous...the scary part is that I have a nearly identical female coming up behind him. I can't wait to make more of these.

Here's a little freak show. I found it when going through some hatchling tubs today. It's two months old and this is the first time I remember seeing it...guess I should pay more attention to the Tiger/Brindles, huh? LOL

Hi, was just wondering, looking at the pictures and also going through your previous ones, why are MOST of your adults without a tail?

Haha...hadn't really thought about that. Actually, I wouldn't say "most" of my adults are without a tail...I'd say maybe half. A lot of my adults are older animals and over time, sooner or later something will scare a gecko and cause it to drop its tail. That's just life with crested geckos. Most experienced breeders/hobbyists don't see it as a defect. After all, most crested geckos don't have tails in the wild. Out of hundreds of adults foudn in the wild, I think there's only been one or two found with tails.
