This is a picture of Buttercup who is now 2 years old.
This girl lays eggs like crazy!

The sire is an orange male from Dragons Den. He is more orange than she is but still has yellow stripes.
Has anyone ever bred a yellow with a red? If so what do the babies look like? Please post pics if you have them.

After seeing that one a few months ago I knew I wanted in on the crestie world.

Mine are still very jumpy, but very cute and easy to care for.

Thanks!

No heat lamps. I only use a 2.0 UVB lamp during breeding season as an extra precaution but it is probably not necessary and I am really only using it to set their day length clocks. It has started them breeding.
I will probably sell the little male but Buttercup will always be with me. She is super tame and very sweet. She licks babyfood off my finger and will just hang out on my arm.

so cresteds do become less jumpy with age??? Mine is getting better, he is a few months old.
I cant wait until he can just hang out, without jumping all over the place.

A few minutes a day. I have noticed my females are less jumpy than my males.
Of course it is harder to be jumpy when you are full of eggs. lol

I am happy to handle him daily, im just worried that he might drop his tail. I am super careful with it, but I have seen so so many without em.

and none have dropped a tail yet. I am not too delicate when I handle them but don't know if I have been just lucky or what.
I just grab them around the middle when taking them out to clean cages and put them where I want them.
Last year I bred and sold over 30 of them and no tail drops what so ever.
I am beginning to wonder if diet has any thing to do with it.
I gutload their food with the best gutload, powdered milk, bee pollen, spirulina and veggies. I spritz with water daily. I think the great husbandry makes them more tolerant of handling because they are in such gret health they can withstand more stress with out dropping the tail. I also do not over crowd babies and seperate out males when they are maturing. They tend to gab each others tail.
Then again maybe just dumb luck who knows!

because they can lose their tail but if they seem to take it well then a couple of minutes a day can work wonders.
Some never like handling though so you have to see how each individual takes it. If he is just frantic then he may end up being a look at me but don't touch gecko.

thanks for all the advice

by the way....
Buttercup is ultra cute!
