Our New Baby Crested Geckos

[Netty]

We just picked up these cute little guys on Friday. They are Orange Tiger and Orange Tiger Dalmation and are just 2 months old. Such little characters when they're out and about.

I officially hate your guts.

Been after one of these for aaages, but don't have the money atm.

 

[Netty]

Oh no please don't hate me

We got these little guys at a real bargain £45 each from a private breeder in Bridgewater. They've got another that has just hatched

Tease!

That really is a nice bargain... Hmmm

Lovely geckos btw

 

[Netty]

Thanks.......you really should get one Not sure if it's because they are still young, but when they climb the glass they get so far and then slide down again

Won't know sex of them for a while yet, but would be great if one was female

I would if i could! Wait 'til I get my own house first I'm also scared of making them drop their tails... at least leopards geckos grow theirs back

Would you not need to get more then one female to 1 male? I know it's like that for most lizards, but I've never really looked up cresties.

 

[Netty]

You can keep just a pair or you can have one male for up to 5 females. Obviously we'll have to watch them as they develop and if they turn out to be both boys then at some point we'll have to separate them.

Yep tails can be a problem but hopefully they wont lose theirs.......they do look kind of odd without

How are they when it comes to being handled? I wanted a tokay for a while but I heard they don't like being touched much.

very cool! i think geckos are the one reptile iv never had lol

 

[Netty]

Thanks Catfish......you'll have to put them next on your list then

They are fine being handled and will jump from one hand to the other or as happened when taking the pics, one landed on the camera And they do like to run up your arms. Like all animals they have their different temperaments but if handled from young they should be fine. Someone mentioned on another forum that they don't have teeth so your unlikely to be bitten!!!!

NETTY! I hate you! lol. They are so adorable. I just tried to convince Alan to let me have one but he got mad hehe. i think I will have to stick to the fish for now

 

[Netty]

Yeah but one wouldn't take up much room Tibby.......I think I need to have words with your hubby

LOL! Understatement of the year! Tokays are like sharks of the gecko world - they'll bite your face off if you get too close .

Well, try to at least.

Edit: Read this back and it sounds like I was trying to make you sound stupid... i wasnt! lol.
