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!

What are you feeding yours? I regret not getting and CGD while i was there! I just went to a couple pet stores and they didnt have any.. they just suggested baby food mixed with supplements.. maybe ill try giving it a small cricket :D

Nice looking Crested:biggrin:
Glad to see you're happy with the little guy. As well thanks for the kind words about Sarah, she's alright:)
Hope you realise that once you buy one you're addicted!!!

Yeah they are super addictive! He is a load of fun and seems to be okay with being handled. He hasnt taken much interest in food yet though. I am going to be ordering that Repashy stuff soon!

I also bought at Crestie at the same expo. No pictures yet, he always is hiding in the leaves and runs when I try to pick him up.

I don't know if mine ate or not, I left some CGD in there and it seems untouched. I will try again tonight and hopefully get him some crickets by saturday.
