haha..Well after the recent explosion of crested geckos around here I've been doing a lot of research on them and thought I'd try keeping a couple Rhacodactylus myself! :D
Heres some photos of my new buddies.

Male harlequin/flame morph



Here's him rocking out in his new enclosure





Young female blonde morph
(gonna look sick as an adult!)







I'll try and get some more pics on later.Will see if I can get some fired up photos as well!

I love them! They're beautiful!
You have really beautiful specimens to start with!
That female is gorgeous!

PS: Are those enclosures large enough??
They look a tad small for adults..........

I just got my first and he's tiny, I put him in a 5.5 gal....

Thanks alot tortuga,
The female is still very small and shes living in a med-large size kritter keeper but from what I was told on the other forum just recently I think the enclosure for my male may be a bit small.He's gonna need an upgrade!

Knee Deep...& Your Fired

"I'm gonna try and be careful about gettin to deep into this hobby haha.Interested to see what kind of babies I can produce over here tho!"

Syndicate, Your already knee deep in Crested PooP buddy & it's only going to grow LOL{D Yes you have some lovely Blondies and it looks like a partial pin crest on one very nice. I can't wait to see some babies as well. Remeber, I love my T's also so if you ever get an itch for a trade to expand morphs I am here for ya:razz:

"a pic of them fired up" do hey change color?"

Codykrr, Yes cresteds do change color through out their growth and when they are active(fired) or resting/ shedding (unfired). Here is a pic of my female on the boards for sale not fired and fired. I also have a section on color change Post 104 on the thread here:

Hope this helps,
