Our new Cresty

[uroplatus]

This is Lotus our new pinstripe crested gecko which fingers crossed is a girl. We got her today from Snakes n Adders in Leeds - thanks again Chaz! She's settled in great and is really friendly. We'll be trying her with the new cresty diet tomorrow hopefully she'll take to it!
Anyway here she is - look at her funky racing stripes!!!



Hope you like her!!!

Very nice looking Crestie I need to get pics of mine up so somebody can tell me what they are.

Thanks guys glad you like her - I'm still in shock I managed to find such a stunner! She was bred by Urban Gecko in the USA and therefore in completely unrelated to my other geckos!

True, compared to those bred in the UK, but I guess with these ones you've got to cover the cost of import - I personally think that they are worth the price as a breeding investment! I'd be sorely tempted myself, but am genuinely running out of space and just cannot risk another juvie turning out male

They are a bit pricey compared to UK bred ones but they aren't the easiest morph to come by and Urban Gecko is one of the top breeder in the world, you get what you pay for lol. At least I'm 100% certain it is completely unrelated to any of my other stock.

WOW pretty little baby REALLY gorgeous



BUT....not all USA geckos are pricey..

the ones ive just sold were imported a few years back by my friend and he GREW THEM ON and they are now sexed not babies... and an adult female creamsicle i sold on behalf of my friend we sold for £125.. and shes stunning a creamsicle male went for 100

we decided we wouldnt strangle the buyers we were fair

female single colour 100 female morph ( no matetr WHAT morph) 125

keeps the pricing simple and fair i think

just depends who you buy from thats all

What you have to take into account is that I bought her from a shop so obviously I appreciate that private breeders will charge less for theirs than shops as shops have to buy in from breeders at their trade price which usually isn't much less than they sell privately. Anyway I'm chuffed to bits with my new girl and if I had enough money I would quite happily go and buy the rest but as it stands I haven't so I can't lol.
