Just decided to make a thread about my crested gecko. His name is (Cordylus, I know you will love this!) Mr. Sticky Toes ;D
When my mom was walking by (She is deftly afraid of ALL fish and reptiles) it jumped on to her face. Yes her face. lol. She about died...literally. I honestly didn't know my mom could move like she did that day. ;D

I love the species Rhacodactylus Leachinus Leachinus. They get to be like 20 inches long! That is in my top five list of herps (right under monkey-tailed skinks).

20 inches? No, no Crested Geckos don't get past 7 inches. Mine is almost an adult and only 5 inches long. Confused with a different species?

You have a Rhacodactylus Ciliatus, which normally get about 8 inches, I am talking about the new caledonian giant crested gecko, Rhacodactylus Leachinus Leachinus. Look them up, they are awesome, and 18-20 inches long!

^ Supposedly they are very hard to care for. hatchlings go for like $400, imagine what an adult would be.

Normal cresties go for about $80 as adults, it depends on the morph. Like flames and dalmatians go for above $100 most of the time. But those are so awesome, it is worth the money in my opinion.

My Cresty was 50 as an adult. He has some really nice shades of brown and dark green. A somewhat common color scheme I think, but very nice.
