Familiar Exotics
I am getting to that NOT FUN time of year when shipping is coming to an end and I have to go through everybody and decide who's staying and who's going for next season. I'm also eyeballing a few who I'd like to get in the spring, so I'm really needing funds!
First to go might be the hardest, because this juvie has outstanding genes that I would like to keep in my collection. If he doesn't sell quickly I'll probably give in and keep him, though I really need to trim my males (why oh why can't the ones you want most to be females end up boys?). Meet, the gorgeous Crème Pâtissière, so named as a type of custard stuffing for eclairs. I thought I was being clever, as his mother is the beautiful, very in-demand Eclair, owned by Styx. His father is another outstanding crestie who is sought-after for his offspring, HoHo - now owned by Jessica ("NiceRhac"). This cross (which probably won't happen again since Styx sold HoHo) produced some great babies, Crème being one of them. This male could be a cornerstone for many different projects, he is a looker himself and has the genetics to back it up!

I don't have new pictures (these are from March I believe) as we moved this summer and then a month ago I fractured a vertebrate falling while jumping my horse. I can try to get them for you if asked, but I can't promise they will be better than cell shots at this point. I'd be happy to get a current weight if requested. Since these photos were taken, Crème's cream (ha) has just continued to spread and lighten. His back is the same "bleach cream" as his mother, just not quite as solid. He has beautiful structure with a wide head and great light crests extending well past his neck (one of my favorite traits). His head has lightened some and the cream on his sides has increased. He also fires darker than in the photos though of course he wasn't cooperating that day. He gets VERY dark, and his cream just pops. He does still have that goofy circle on his head though, haha. Without further ado!
At this time I'm asking $250 + shipping. I can ship through Reptiles Express or Ship Your Reptiles, your choice! I'm happy to provide a quote if you send me your zipcode. My shipping window is closed but short-term payment plans could be worked out for over the winter. 25% down up front to hold. He'll ship out as soon as it's warm enough on both ends. Please contact me through email at [email protected], as I rarely check my PMs here. I'm happy to answer any questions and will entertain reasonable offers to great homes. I prefer cash but will look at high quality animals for possible trades (doesn't hurt to ask)! However, for trades I'm only interested in female agricolae, sexed cresties of the non-solid (the creamier the better!) red and yellow varieties, black/cream guaranteed females, or anything that is decently, truly "white-walled". Thank you for looking!
P.S. I've got a couple nice RTB females I may decide to part with soon if I can bear it, and a couple more juvies. Considering disbanding my dalmatian project as well, so keep on the lookout! Maybe you can save on shipping in the spring... hehe.
Ok apparently some of you need to SEE this kid's parents, I'm surprised there isn't more interest. Just LOOK at what he came out of!

Yeah! All that cream is hanging out in this gecko's DNA, giving us a peek of what it looks like in his lovely self, but imagine what it will look like on babies if he's paired up to a female of the same caliber... (those images in my head make me want to keep him)! However, I officially need the money. Make me an offer, can't hurt!
