They are super easy to care for that is for sure. I already have 46 eggs laid so far this year so we are off to a great start! I should have double that number of eggs in the next week or so!

Beautiful pics!!!!:D I saw them at the last expo- purchased a gargoyle gecko instead, but your photos make it really hard to resist temptation to buy a few! I would just like to throw out there for anyone considering a purchase- they are nice and easy to care for and clean up after.

How prolific are they anyway? They seem to mature quickly if I remember correctly.

They are VERY quick breeders. A baby male will be ready to breed in about a year, females a year to a year and a half. Once the females are ready to breed they mate with a male once and lay two eggs a month like clockwork for 6-7 months of a year give or take.
There is nothing special you have to do with the eggs ether. Room temps are all they need in an incubator with some hatching medium in an airtight container. 60-120 days later (75 ish days average) they hatch jumping and ready to go.

Few babies that have hatched in the last few days. :)
It is far better to see what was in the egg rather then sell the egg lol.

Wow, I'm not a big fan of cresties - but those two are absolutely stunning. Do they keep that coloration as they mature?

Nice Colors!

In the Early 90's, they were thought to be Extinct, or @least close 2.

Look at them Now........Polymorphic, and yet their colors have been brought out by dedicated selective breeding.......Good job :razz: - Jason

The stripe that runs down their back will stay there for sure, the rest could change quite a bit as they get older. I am happy with these guys to start the season. My first really serious pairs that I am looking forward to should be hatching very soon. At the moment I have a lot of eggs lol. So I hope to have a lot of nice looking babies!

Now Id be lying if I said I was not a teeny tiny bit disappointed they are not full pinners, but I am still smiling ear to ear regardless!
This is what I am aiming for. Very high quality offspring from high quality parents. I'd have kicked myself if I ever sold these as eggs LOL. (and no Id never sell eggs)
These are Maximus X Six babies!
