My first scaley baby
Been a long time since I've posted in this forum, and the first time I'm in the reptiles section! Just wanted to share pics of my newest little friend.
 He/she (we don't know yet) is a crested gecko. Gender will be determined in the next couple of months. Name is Salamance (it's a Pokemon - what else, when I have two young boys in the house?  ). We're still getting used to each other, time will tell what kind of character he/she is.

I love his sticky little feet
 I love geckos. They have the cutest reptile award hands-down.

I don't know, BenMax. This is my first reptile ever. My nephew has a bunch. He is certainly bonded to them, if not the other way around! lol! It's definitely not like a dog, cat or other mammal, but there is a certain amount of recognition there, I think. His iguana certainly seems to enjoy his company over other people's.
True, Macomom. Don't they have sweet little smiles?

Beautiful little guy you have there!!
Absolutley they bond with their people! My parents are big reptile people, currently they own one female ball python named Suzie (she's close to four and a half feet now) and one male bearded dragon named Alfonzo. Suzie is fairly sociable with anyone that wants to handle her, but Alfonzo is not. He will sit forever with my Mom holding/petting/hand feeding him for as long as she wishes, and he will come to her when she calls him. He'll tolerate my Dad, but if my Mom is around he'll definitely try to crawl to her instead. With other people though, Alfonzo is not as friendly. I can't even catch him to hold him!  You'll have alot of fun with your gecko..be sure to keep us posted on your experiences with him/her!!

They do indeed have the sweetest little smiles. Are you sticking with one or will you get more?

Hey folks. Here's an updated picture of the little critter all "fired up". That's what they call it when their colours get all dark and dramatic like in this pic (compare it to the original and you'll see what I mean). No one really knows why this happens, but they apparently do it once in a while, possibly when stressed, happy, hungry, bored...narrows it down, doesn't it?

I know this thread is a little old but I have a suggestion to make.
I would NOT use bark chips (as I see in the picture) but instead use paper towel or coconut fiber. Its safer and with help with humidity. Otherwise its is great that you are feeding CGD most people thing baby food is acceptable to give them but it is not. Congrats! He has really nice patterning and colour.

Since the thread got opened up again, just wanted to say he is really cute. I like his "dramatic colouring".
My son was scared when one of our friends baby geckos jumped on him too. They move so fast- it is hard to be prepared for it. I think they are so adorable.
