Was looking through some oldish photos of one of my cresteds, Herbert.

You don't realise how much their patterns and colour change as they get older. I'm glad I kept the pics Smile

Herbert when I got him:

Taken today:

He has quite a bit of red coming through around his neck, his underside is almost completely orange/red Cool

he is amazing, how old was he when you bought him, and how old is he now?

Err,

When I got him the pet shop said ~10 weeks, so now ~6 months old

It is amazing just how much the change as they age. Herbert is just getting better and better. Smile

He's classed as a Harlequin due to the mottling on his sides and limbs, good luck with your cresties Smile
