New crested gecko!

[GartenSpinnen]

So my mom was at the petstore today and gives me a call. She says they have a crested gecko that lost its tail and they want to find it a home (didn't think it was worth much of anything cause of losing its tail). It was a subadult, and the coloration was explained as 'neon' with 'spots'. So i told her to snag it for me. Its definately a male which is ok... even though i only have 1 female right now. I am hoping it is either an olive dalmation, or better yet.... a moonglow dalmation. The price paid with tax? 32.50

Will post pics when i pick it up tonight from her!

Well, i got him! I do not know where they got that he was 'neon' or even an 'olive' color.... he is a chocolate dalmation. However, he is one of the nicest looking i have seen. The crests on him are beautiful, and he looks just like a chocolate chip cookie . He is probably one of the most skittish cg's i have seen, very very jumpy. I think it may be mainly because he was jostled around quite a bit today.

I am gonna let him recoup in his new home until tommorrow in the dark, with food and water and see if he calms down some. Going to get pics also. I want him to get fired up and take pics of him, but he does not seem to look fired up tonight. Probably from the move? Anyway, i can't wait to breed him with my female when she matures, i think the pair would throw out some beautiful babies.

Crested are by far my favorite Lizard to keep. Im glad they are getting more popular too

Can't wait to see the pics but I'd say give him at least a few days of peace and quiet -- between all the moves and whatever happened to cause him to drop his tail -- he has every reason to be completely stressed out.

Heres the new gecko! This is him not fired up, he actually fires up a red color, and i noticed some brindle pattern in him that i didn't notice before... anyway, not bad for 32.50 ...
