Reptile expo visit ended with new addition!

I just came back from a reptile expo. My gf and I already own a PM giant but we have always loved the look of the cresteds. Someone at the show got us to hold one and immediately we fell in love! We ended up getting a baby one and named it Targa (as in the Porsche) which goes good with our PM Enzo

Just transferring Targa into its new home was an adventure! We "adopted" enzo as an adult and he has never tried to escape. But immediately Targa was jumping all over and running on the walls! Tricky little thing!

We love it so much, and we can't wait to get used to handling it! Right now it's just a bit difficult because we're not used to having something so fast and jumpy!

Pictures will come soon! Right now I don't want to open the container haha :P

I took him into an enclosed shower and played with him in there. I really got the hang of holding him! he's not too tricky after all

Here are some cell phone pictures..

Oh and i wet the inside of his container (paper towel as sustrate right now.). and i caught him drinking from the paper towl, is that okay?

I got a really good deal on it aswell. And the girl at the booth was so nice and helpful. It was the Clint Hill booth, lots of cresties!
