Hi Everyone,

Got a new male Crested Gecko today! Originally the plan was to sell my current male, then put this one in with the female and the up-and-coming female next year, therefore no inbreeding would take place. However, despite being my mum's idea in the first place, after I'd bought this one my parents started saying I shouldn't split the adults up, as they get along really well (Which they do, follow eachother, sleep curled up together etc.).

So now, I'm just going to have two breeding pairs next year, just got to hope that my young one that looks female, isn't a late developer! So yeah, despite ending up with less money than I'd expected to, I'm still really happy with him!

These pictures have only been taken quickly before I put him in his new home, they're off my phone so not the best quality, but will get some better ones later Smile

Anyway, here he is, he looks to me like he's got a bit of a pinstripe patterning, what do you all think?:

Thanks Very Happy Yeah I will, I have 1 egg incubating at the moment, but it was only laid a couple of weeks ago, though my adult female is starting to look fat again! Very Happy

As promised, some better pictures of him, and boy they're a lot better. Really shows his true colours unlike the first 3.

Ah congrats! Love it opening the tub to find hatchlings! Seems as though I'm not getting many this year though Sad

Yeah hoping in the future he can pass his pinstriping on, does anyone know if partial pinstriped cresties can pass on the trait to form full/fuller pinstriped cresties?
