Im quitting the crested gecko hobby.... for green anoles!!

[Marcink125]

The only reptile that I would ever get is a chonduras gtp Green tree python. Other than that snakes and lizards are just too high mantaince for me. I had iguanas when I ws 10 and boy were they a pain in the but. They weren't even interesting. I won them at a fair and was like well i might as well keep them. They smelled like poop!!!!!!!ewwwwwww!!!!:wall:

rollinkansas: Yep, that is the only group of sphaeros(which are all WC) that I'd be able to afford.

Mine is het. for granite.

You know if you breed granite or het for granite to a quartz and line breed the babies, 33% will be the super form of lava. Those are HOT right now!

I honestly must say cresteds are the biggest pain in the butt! I spent more time caring for them than I did a pair of dogs! They need new food made at least every other night and they crap EVERY WHERE! Even while I was cleaning the cage they would crap in my hands, the restraint cage, just every where. I had two babies in a 20 gallon and would wake up to see at least 30 turds. I'm glad I traded them for money and a full colony of dubia roaches. That was back when they were worth something before everyone and his brother had them. They have absolutely no personality at all. They just sit, jump, eat, drink and propogate. They are the most unrewarding pet in my opinion. I don't see why there has been a recent spike in popularity. I really just don't see why any of the most popular are popular. I'd take rare geckos and exotic arachnids over fluffy the litter box cat any day. Just my opinion, don't kill me here.
TBH

I do have to agree with Thomas! I would take a Tokay over a crestie any day

I actually just got my very first reptile last weekend. A 6'' male Tokay gecko. I was SO close to buying a crested gecko, but the Tokay's coloration really had more appeal to me (not to mention the attitude )

I definately think I like this guy more than the cresties I've seen.

Although ironically, obscure Anolis sp are starting to become more available and more desirable lol
