Got this awesome crested gecko this weekend, from an ad on CL!
Huge 4 yr old male full, 100% pinstripe, from DeVosjolli!
Got the cage and everything!
Im pretty excited about this gecko, and have a couple lovely ladies to set him up with . . .
You guys will never guess what the cash price I "stole" this gecko was . . .
THANKS again to Jessica and dont worry, he is in good hands . . .

His tail was damaged slightly from crix in the past, but this bruiser didnt even lose it!

The key with crested geckos is to hold them by their tales.

Sorry, I realize this post is kind of non-not so spineless wonders, but I just discovered that video and thought of this thread and could not resist bringing the video here.

Nice Pick up

Nice Pick up and I look foward to seeing him breed with a solid pin female in the near future.

 

[syndicate]

Wow!What a score!Beautiful male for sure.Looks crowned and those crests are to die for!I dont think you could even find a full pinner for 50$ anywhere lolz

 

[pavel]

Quite the handsome fellow!

Out of curiosity ... if a crestie looses its tail, is it a similar to geckos like leopard geckos in that the new tail is usually far less attractive than the original?

 

[JoeRossi]

They don't.....

Pavel, they do not grow back if they loose there tail. They can become damaged and still retain their tail, but once it is gone it is gone for good. In the thread http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showpost.php?p=1423759&postcount=140 I speak a little about tail loss in cresteds. Furthermore, I think I have a few pictures of the 1 or 2 geckos thay I have that lost their tails.

Hope this helps,
Joe

Thanks, Joe! What a shame. Gotta admit that does surprise me though. Just seemed like tail regeneration was a rather common gecko phenomenon.

 

[JoeRossi]

No problem & it is.....

No problem, & you do have to be more careful with these buggers then all other regenerating tail geckos. However, the ones that can take good care of them and have kept them with tails intact benefit because it keeps their value up as it should for these beautiful creations.
