I picked up my first crestie yesterday after work I'm not sure the sex yet but it's about 3.5 months old so I should be able to see some pores with a magnifying glass by now? The girl in the shop thought he was a flame morph?
He seems healthy and active, was exploring his viv all evening and bagged a cricket about 30 mins after i put them in for him. How many crickets do you feed them? I put 4 in last night and this morning only 1 is left (hiding under the paper towel) does that sound about right?
Enough questions now for pics
Bagging a cricket climbing on the mesh
Looking smug after his meal.
And off exploring again. |

Nice crestie Scoops looks nice and healthy, It looks like a harlequin to me but still a lil cutie.
You could try and put more cresties in he will eat most of them at night, i usually put a whole tub of crickets in for 4 of mine try putting in about 10. _________________ Altogether i have a zoo of 45 scaley's and slimey's
and 6 furries
And i LOVE em all |

I would deffo say flame, because he hasnt got the markings on his legs or sides very much.
I think he is too young to check for pores.
What ever he is he is very nce !! _________________ Regards, Paul.

These cresties are expensive, my phone was so poor I had to go buy a proper camera!
Had him out for a little walk when cleaning last night, very skittish still and didn't want to handle him too much yet.
