    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My first crestie!

Well I picked up my first crestie yesterday! He's so cute, I think he's a normal, but not knowing the morphs yet I cant say that for sure. Whatever he is I think he's adorable. I'm going to name it spaz due to it being an absolute spaz. Its just a juvie, so I dont know if its male/female yet

Ed, I know you have been breeding cresties for a long time, but I do disagree with you about the morph. I would not consider that a harlequin due to the lack of patterning along the legs and sides. Instead, I would say that it is a really nice fire.

This is unfortunate about crested gecko morphs. What one person considers to be something, another person considers to be something else. It is a wonderful looking gecko, and morphs really don't mean much (in regards to how much morphs mean in other species). They just help describe what the gecko looks like, and don't really describe what its genetic possibilities are (for example, if you buy a dominate morph ball python you know that statistically 50% of its offspring would share it's morph, but since cresties aren't proven there is no estimate about the percentage of offspring who will share the given trait).
 
Hmm thanks for the info guys! Is there a good site that describes the morphs a bit better? I'd eventually like to get to breeding them when I get a good group going, but would like to do my reaserch on what morphs are so I can catigorize them better

Variable, I see some pattern on the legs and the side.

And a high flame morph with pattern on the sides is called a Harlequin by some.

Its all good, we all dont see everything the same way. :)
 
I see faint pattern on the legs also. But these guys can change a bit growing older. My little olive lime green gal was straight olive no pattern baby, she is now the olive/lime green tiger she is today

Pangea Reptiles has a nice small collection of "morphs" on their website. But this IMO is a not a full list. But it shows the more common types with great pics
 
Morph names can be a little regional as to what they call them, I was in Socal dealing with a Crested Gecko buddy and he kept referring to Harlequins as high Flame morphs as that was what they called them there. :confused:

Whatever...when in Rome. :laugh:
 
Yeah, I took a look at pangea, some really nice geckos. Does anyone know of breeders that breed the green morphs? Thats my fav color XD
 
This is a very different Green, and they sometimes appear in my group.

Sorry, not for sale but you mentioned Green cresties and I thought you would enjoy this pic. :)

There are genetically proven Olive Green morphs, I had them and never was satisfied with the offspring. but when 1 of these like the pic I posted randomly appears its like a special present at christmas! :)
 
I have a green tiger and next weekend I am on the hunt for a male green tiger, not sure I will ever find one like her though :(
This is not the best pic of her, I can never seem to get her colored up when I want to snap a pic of her, and when she is, my camera can not capture the colors well.
