Default First Crestie - Lazarus!

This is my first Crested Gecko, Lazarus. I have Leopard Geckos, but have always preferred cresteds in terms of care and looks. I picked her up yesterday. I went to pick her up expecting to get a male in a 20 gallon - but I was surprised to find a female in a 10 gallon! We will be upgrading to an 18x18x24 exo-terra ASAP, and possibly adding another female adult crestie to the mix. She was purchased at Zoo Creatures (N.E.R.D) in Plaistow, NH in December '10.

Some pictures: (any idea on morph? I'm new to cresties, so I'm not to familiar with their morphs).

Congrats!!

Do any of those photos show her in her "fired up" phase? That's when a Crestie's morph is easiest to identify. I'm not sure if she's patternless or perhaps a tiger if she has striped on her sides once fired?

How large is she- do you have a scale?

That's one nice gecko! The morph is flame, but not as extreme as a regular one is, but it still looks great!

She's adorable. I once had a ferret named Lazarus . . . he lived to be a bit over 11.

XD I can't wait to get my cresteds.
