Default New Crestie (in Planted terrarium), first shots!

Some of you may remember I posted a thread a week or so ago showing my planted terrarium, almost ready to house a Crestie. Well it'll all finish now, and I picked up my Crested Gecko today!

If you didn't see my previous thread, its here...

Anyways, here is he, named him 'Echo';
(Guest appearence from my bengal Cleo!)

Thank you

Real impressed with his colours. He was a shade of beige when I picked him up, with a totally patternless clean look. Now he's gone a gorgeous pastel red.

The viv is only in the window until I get a compact hood with a low UV bulb for the plants (next few days). And I dont think he's been drinking from the waterfall, as of yet. But he happily climbs up it with water pouring all over him!

Looks good mate, just watch the temperature with it being next to the window (and when you get the light hood as well)

S/he's a beautiful crestie, an absolutely gorgeous colour fired up. That viv is stunning.

My crestie is called Echo too
