|

Hi all
It's been ages since I last posted any pics of my little beauties (or indeed posted anything on the forum at all due to being so busy), so I thought it was time. These are just a few of them, I've got 14 at the moment, but some of these pictures are among my favourite ones...
I've only kept back a couple of the 13 babies I had last year so I'll start with them. First up is Number 2 (named as it was the second baby to hatch, but the name kind of stuck a la Dr. Evil's right hand man! ), a gorgeous female:
And here she was at point of hatching in early September 2007, as you can see she's not changed a great deal in terms of colour and pattern, just developed loads more dalmatian spotting:
The same cannot be said for Splodge, who is gorgeous and covered in the biggest dalmatian spots of any gecko in my own collection. Here he is now:
And here he is on hatching in late September 2007, he's the really drab grey one on the left - seriously! Can't believe how much he's changed but I think this is the joy of keeping crested geckos as, in the words of Forrest Gump, "You never know what you're gonna get."
Next up is Stumpy, one of my adult males:
This is one of Stumpy's 'special friends', a gorgeous orange female:
As I was photographing her last night she spotted and then attacked the cricket in the picture above, quite oblivious to the camera!
Harley is one of my original females, one of the first three crested geckos I ever bought as babies back in August 2006, and she is the mother of at least half of the babies from 2007:
Finally, here is one of Stumpy's own gorgeous babies from late 2007, bred by my good friends who also sold me Stumpy last year, this one has turned out to be a male too:
I have to say that even though I have only been keeping the species myself for less than two years, they have quickly become my favourite species. This is due mainly to their character and the range of colouration and patterning which is incredible, with each being completely beautiful in my eyes.
