hey Rick - I think yours is a brown flame. he looks very chocolatey.

aocain - I'm not certain. how old is he/she, and is that fired up or down? he looks really, really young, which means it's early to be staking anything out.

he definitely has a nice chevron pattern, giving him a flame background - but those faint markings on his sides could end up harley or brindle/tiger as he ages. based on his color, I'm guessing he's very young and hasn't grown entirely into his base color yet?

It is young but I'm not sure how old. Its pretty small. I'm getting a digital scale the one I have looks like it says 10g but I think it maybe wrong. And its not digital so I may be reading it wrong. Its awfully pretty. It gets really dark sometimes dark chocolate color.I will repost when it gets bigger and I get a good weight on it. The guy I bought it from had no idea how old it was. He had several all different ages and they belonged to his girlfriend whom I have tried to contact through email and she hasn't responded. I bought it at a reptile show .

ha! this is something really cool about your gecko. cresteds are sort of like mood rings. when they're active/awake/excited/gettin' busy, etc, they are "fired up". this means their colors are darker and more intense. when they're sleepy/cold/mellow, their colors are much more pale and they sometimes even look washed out.

my patternless red, Xochitl, fired-down and sleeping, is a pale creamy orange like tomato soup + milk. when she's fired up she looks like ketchup.

Oh I see.. yes I think it was fired up I had been moving leaves around and it had been moving around. Its been alittle busy body since I gave it crickets last night.. it keeps looking for more..lol I've never seen it so awake during the day as it was this afternoon.

Any guesses on morph and age? I think he has the "horned" trait? Also I was thinking maybe tiger, but I really have no idea. The red photos aren't really true to color, I would say the second photo is probably the most accurate.

Thanks!

It's hard to say because they will change as they grown but I'd say baby 2 is a creamsicle or high red, but that will probably all change lol
