    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....

I'm currently interested in adding "Soft Scale" crested geckos into my collection but I'm a bit skeptical. Is there anyone who owns soft scale crested geckos or have had any experience, information, etc about them? Are the scales really that soft to where you would feel a difference instantly? Also is the "Super" form of Soft Scales even more soft? Let's say i was to breed a pair of soft scales, how would I tell the difference between the super form and the normal soft scales? These geckos are a bit pricey I just want more information about them before I make a big purchase. Any information would help, Thanks for reading!
 
I would like to know if there is a way to look at a picture of a crested gecko, and without touching it, know for sure it was a soft-scale. Maybe my understanding of was crested geckos look like is insufficient, but they don't look different to me. I'm not doing cresties anymore, but as someone who sometimes buys, sells and determines the value of animals for other peoples' agendas, I feel I may someday find it useful to be able to look at a picture of an animal, and determine if it was being represented honestly as a soft-scale.
 
@Elena exactly I can kinda see a difference in some of the scales on the head but that's about it. It looks as if the scales are softer on the center of the head or it looks as if there aren't many there (more spaced out maybe?). Idk, I passed on them being that it's not much information out there on them. Picked up some Uroplatus Sameiti's instead :) thanks for the reply!
