My first two crested eggs hatched on thursday and their soooooo cute!!! I know that they're red as babies and turn less red but how long does that take? How does their pattern/color change as they grow into adults? Does anybody have pictures of a gecko as a baby and the same gecko as an adult? thanks,
Brandalyn

My menagerie
2.1 Ball Pythons 1.1 Amazon Tree Boa 1.0 Corn Snake 1.0 Dumeril's Boa 2.1.10 Bearded Dragons 2.1.2 Crested Geckos (and 2 eggs!) 1.1.4 Eastern Box Turtles 1.0 Northern Mockingbird 0.3 Chickens 2.0 Cats 1.1 Ferrets plus lots of mice and feeder insects

I have noticed subtle color change in some of my hatchlings in as little as six weeks. some are a little bit faster to mature and some aren't. color also can change based on the animal's "mood", there have been times when I thought my geckos color or pattern was changing one day and the next it was back to normal. sometimes you just have to wait and see. you can probably make a fairly accurate assumption of color based on the parents however.
