i dont know too much about cresties but they all look lovely.

Is it weird if i said that i think they look better without their tails? lol.

Dont worry i won't be going around pulling tails off of cresties.

Thank you.

No its not weird to say that as lots of people think the same which is why tailess still sell at the same price as ones with tails lol

Im not worried but Jill might be lol

really? ha i didn't know that.

Haha yeah, hope she doesn't see this

yeah really, especially the females, i didn't know until i was on a website and noticed the prices dont really change lol

Im sure she will see this when she's next on here

.....Yep, I've seen this now! lol

Cresties losing their tails is so common, particularly as they grow and fight, that I think you have to see the tails as something they'll probably not have for very long, and just appreciate them for the characters they are.

yep thats very true Jill

better keep Jordan away from yours lol

I'm still trying to find new homes for my two I'm going to end up giving them away at this rate!

if they were girls i'd have them off you now, but i dont have any space for more boys lol wish i did

I love cresties they look like leaves... in a strange way. like those leaves that are all over the ground in autumn. I also think their little faces resemble dragons faces

are they hard to look after?
are they easy to handle?

yours are gorgeous btw

Thank you.

they are really easy to look after, they dont need to be kept in heated vivs, they are kept at room temp, some people suggest a uvb light, personally i dont use any light, my tubs that 2 are in are on top of a viv so they get heat from that and daylight from the window while the other 2are in 2ft vivs ontop of another viv facing the window, they are nocternal but some do come out in the evenings like my Dave.
They are easy to handle if you dont mind playing catch as they jump from place to place lol babies are quite speedy but they slow down with age.

Dave does look like a autum leaf at all times lol

hahahha i'm not the only one that thinks they look like autumn leaves then lol

That's great ^ ^
haha i'm not very fast sooo i think i would wait until they are older to handle them probs. They can be housed together?
They look lovely.. my college has just got one.. it's very shy and jumpy.. so no one is allowed to handle him. We can never find him in the viv anyway lol

they are hard to find in there vivs/tubs sometimes.

all mine have there own tubs/vivs but people do house 2males with 4-6 females or females will live together but getting females is expesive lol

haha

okay.. I prefer housing them on their own because I'd feel soooo bad if they attacked one another.. it's better to be safe than sorry.

yep it is and thats why mine are all kept on there own

Yeh they are extremely fast and jumpy, i didn't expect it when Jill first got hers but it put me off them really. I thought they were really tame and slow like leo's before i saw them.
Not as fast as mourning gecko's though haha

there not too bad when they are used to you, baby blaze squeks and goes if i go to get her out lol
