Crested Geckos?
Aren't they awesome......I have 4. My hubby got me into reptiles and these are my faves (and we have a zoo). Those who have some what do you like about them? I like how they clean their eyes with their tongues, their prehensile tail is too cool or their sticky little feet and tail. I have two babies and then got two adults and they are much calmer and soooooooooo hardy. They are expensive to buy but cheap to keep (no special lighting or substrate needed) how come many people don't know about them....they are the best reptile to have, I believe hands down. Any crested lovers? Share your story. Thanks.

I LOVE cresties, and have a variety of their cute morphs. I just saw one out of happenstance, and have been hooked since. They all have the most adorable personalities and faces. I don't know why people would want any other reptile. I rescued a few from Petco who were being mistreated and bit a lot, and now they huddle together a lot, and they let me hold them all the time now that they are taken care of. :O)
My fiance and I love Cresteds too. I like their pointy "crests" above their eyes, there different color morphs, and the way they jump all over. Most of the crested geckos I see in pet stores have small crests. We lived close to one of the United States best crested gecko breeders until they moved recently. We bought our crested geckos from him when they were babies. (website is crestedgecko.com) I am a firm believer in captive bread and born animals. Our prettiest crested gecko is smaller than the others, much more colorful, and has very long points in his crest; I worry that maybe he wasn't captive bread and born because we bought him at an auction at the North American Reptile Breeders Conference several years ago. But I think we were told he was CBB so maybe he's a first generation American!
yes I love crested Geckos, they do make awsome pets
