i finally got the crestys i have been saying i was going to get for the past 3 years and i must agree with every one that says...
these lil guys are sweet....i picked 3 of them up from the show i was working in west palm...and they are killer.....
i got 2 of them from mike
(guy i was working with...this guy can sex almost any thing..and the animals he breeds and sells are top notch...)
and i got the other little one from ben segal...
all of them have eaten at least 3 crickets and have eaten half to a whole fingure nail of banana baby food....
whoo hooo i didnt realize they were this cool and they feel weird when they are crawling on you... ill see if i can get sum pictures

but i have a few questions
i need opinions rather then answers though
1st question..is when they get older should i go screen of glass?
2nd question..what does every one feed their cresteds?
3rd question..can people post pictures of their crested setups
for me to see ??
4th question..are morphs genetic in cresteds because i have
heard they arent and i was just wondering

1st question..is when they get older should i go screen of glass?
I would go with glass or rubbermaid bins. Screen is a pain to keep clean.

2nd question..what does every one feed their cresteds?
I feed 95% of my adults and holdbacks the Crested Gecko Diet by t-rex exclusively. I feed geckos I sell mostly babyfood , the CGD, and crix once a week.

3rd question..can people post pictures of their crested setups
for me to see ??
Don't have any good pics of my set ups right now, sorry.

4th question..are morphs genetic in cresteds because i have
heard they arent and i was just wondering
All morphs are genetis one way or another. Simply put, crested morphs are not simple genetics like albinos. There is more going on with respect to crested genetics. Through selective breeding like geckos, you should increase you chances eventually of getting like colored offspring.
good luck with your new additions.
