My daughter wanted a crested gecko and I never really thought much about them but I figured, it's $30 and she has been taking good care of her leopard gecko and armadillo lizard for the past 4 years so........I bought the little one.
These things really are cute. :yes:

Awww Daddy is a pushover...soon she'll need a mate for that one and then eggs will show up like crazy! Congrats on your daughter being interested and caring for reptiles!
No mate for it. She saw some at a show but I was not about to pay those prices for morphs (I couldn't even tell which morph was what even when they showed it to me :rolleyes:) so I went with a plain ole normal. Personnally I think it looks better than some of the $400 ones I saw. :dunno:
They are adorable! Careful, they are addictive, just because there is such a huge array of patterns, colors, so many "flavors" that are just over the top of the cute scale!

They are pretty darn cute. Good to hear your daughter is such a good little herper. Armadillo lizard was one of my first herps too. Keep encouraging her, as I know you will. :)

I hear you there, until I figure them out $400 is too much to spend.
I bought a couple at the TX show, just normals also.

Anthony has some that make 400 look like a small price to pay lol. His stuff is fantastic. They are allot like carpets, ( out side of the genetic morphs ) most of the time your breeding for a pedigree lineage that guarantees to produce beautiful adults with great body/head shape and good crests.

Very cute. And I still have a soft spot when parents and children get involved together. That's what made the whole thing take off at our house.

Crested geckos are really neat
