Crestie stories

[daycrarble]

Hello

So if you are like me and how much I love my crestie,i'm sure you would love to tell some stories of something your little buddy did that makes u laugh or think he is cooler than you expected. So on that note, I have a funny story to tell about my Crestie, Louis. So I had him rooming in a 55 gal tank with a gold dust day gecko named Gucci. So I would put alittle dish of CGD for louis on one side of the tank, and some mango or peach ba by food for Gucci. After like a week or two, I noticed Louis skinnier than he normally was, so i look in the tank and realize Gucci's food is completely gone, Gucci looks fatter and Louis' food wasnt eaten as much. Found Louis at nighttime sneaking across the cage and stealing Gucci's food and Gucci was stuck eating CGD, he did'nt like that. So have them seperated now but I will not lie, I didnt see that one coming. Sneaky little vandal robbing the sweeter food

Hello.
I have 3 crestie babies (about 3-4 months old) and only 1 liked crickets. I'd put them in a shoebox type container to feed them the crickets. One (Little Bit) will eat between 5-7 crickets at a time. Two wouldn't eat them. The second (Dali) lets the crickets crawl on her but the third one (Harley) would flick her tail and shudder. She wanted no part of them and will climb up the walls to get away from them. Since then, I got a 18x24x24 exo-terra glass cage and I put in a small container on the bottom with dusted/loaded crickets. The cresties can stay in their own environment - feel safe - and watch the contained crickets till they get used to them. Now, I've noticed all 3 of them in the container. Horray!

Every time I take them out to handle, I'll put them back in on their CGD/water ledge so they remember where their food station is. It's cute to see their different personalities emerge. One hides in the leaves, one stays close to the red heat lamp and the other just hangs off a branch like he's fainted or died. His tail hanging down one side and his head down the other side of the branch. (He's is alive and well) Love them to pieces.

I have a crested eyelid gecko. She is almost two years old. Measuring 8 inches now. She loves her crickets. At night when I dump in the crickets, she immediately notices them and hunts them down. It is amazing how fast she is now. She will swallow a large cricket in a blink of a second. Although she has a smaller tank (Need upgrade), she is always looking around the room at night. Very smart lizard, she knows where her crickets are stored as well. I love these cresties. Reminds me of the gecko from geicko. Only if they can really talk

just be carefull for floppy tail syndrome


My female crestie looks to give me a hart attack every now and then. when ever the humidity drops to low she hides beneath the mosses do get some humidity. this causes me to think that she has escaped or something. she gets me everytime.

Hatching a Plan....

We have a few tanks with different sized cresties in them. The tank with our babies sits beside a tank with our adults. If we feed our adults crickets first all the little babies line up along the glass wall trying to dive at the crickets in the adults tank. Funny thing is the large crickets are about the same size as our babies, its like they line up and try to hatcha plan "Ok Herc, you grab his leg and Ditto, you grab is other leg and I'll jump on his head and then Marbs you bite him in the a$$, that'll get him!!"
It really is a site to see...
Sometimes we leave the crickets in the container on top of the babies tank, late at night you can see all the babies clinging from the screen at the top under the cricket container trying to figure out how to get to them...
