Newbie w/ Crestie questions....

Tigergenesis Jun 22, 2004 11:37 AM

Are cresties considered social by nature? I know many keep more than one in an enclosure, do they seem to 'enjoy' (for lack of a better word) the company of others?

I would like to get a breeding pair in case I want to breed in the future; however, I don't want lots of babies. Is it okay to house them separately and then put the male in with the female when I want them to breed - or do they need to be with eachother all the time?

Since you can't sex them until they are a bit older, does that mean I can't buy more than one baby and house them together from the get-go (since I don't know if they are 2 males)?

Thanks for any help!

They dont need anothers company. and yes, it is ok if u just put them in with eachother when you want babies.
