Hello Steemians!
These two little cutie pies are my female crested geckos :)
I believe they are alittle over a year? They are still small (almost the size on my hand).
I had bought them at a reptile expo last year in the fall and I still don't have names for both of them.
I was thinking of names that would go together, maybe cocoa and peanut?
This first little girls is picky when it comes to food, but definitely LOVES her treats such as crickets and Repashy's banana cream pie (That stuff smells exactly the same as the dessert!!).
They both change in colour.
So she goes a darker brown and the white on the spikes down the torso and tail go brighter!
The other female here is basically the opposite from the other one.
She loves to eat so she is just slightly bigger :) It's pretty cute!
She is an orange and green colour, and when she's "fired up" the green is more vibrant- which looks really nice-looking.
These geckos has a velvety touch to them and the spikes aren't sharp at all.
On there feet they have tons of microscopic hairs that give them the ability to stick to walls, and nails to climb on branches and leaves.
Crested Gecko tails can fall off when they feel threatened, it won't grow back . I am happy that mine haven't yet, but they do look cute with a stubby tail :)
CRAZY FACT! They have NO eyelids :O
How can you tell when they are sleeping? You would notice the eyelashes would slightly point down.
Hope you enjoyed this introduction and will post about the others that I have :)
