I picked up my first crestie yesterday after work Cool 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 Smile


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.

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 !!

These cresties are expensive, my phone was so poor I had to go buy a proper camera! Laughing

Had him out for a little walk when cleaning last night, very skittish still and didn't want to handle him too much yet.
