Yey! Picked him up yesterday! (I'm calling it a male until its sexed lol.. even tho its probably goin to turn out female! )
I'm soooooooo happy, he's a complete cutey!! He's a 2 month old harlequin and really lovely! ..
Here's a couple of pics coz I couldn't resist!
In the first pic you can see he's shedding... I found bits of skin on the plants in his viv so I think its just his nose that hasn't shed.. should it have come off with the rest? What should I do to help it? I've misted the viv quite a bit but unsure of what else to do, any help would be great!! Thanks xxx _________________

Nice little cresty - by the title of 'first cresty', I take it you may end up with more, like we all do!  _________________

Yey he's a cutie JoJo. Be warned it all starts with one....lol.
Regarding the loose skin on his nose. Give his head a light misting with warm water. Wait a minute or two and then with a cotton bud, lightly peel it off. On the photo it looks quite loose so you shouldn't have any problems. It's more likely to do with the change in his environment that has made his shed patchy. When he next sheds, just up the misting a little and it should come off in one go. _________________ Best wishes, Jackie

Thanks Jackie! He is a cutey, isn't he! I got him off Lauren, he's one of Lucerne's babies so I know he's got good genes in him!
Cotton bud thing seems to have done the trick! Just 2 specks left near his eyes which he has decided I wont be getting as he refuses to sit still any longer lol
Thanks for the help! xx _________________

He'll be an absolute stunner as he grows then. Lucerne is certainly the prettiest Crested I've ever seen. _________________ Best wishes, Jackie
