I've learned her secret...when she's hungry she will come out of her cave and try to bite my fingers. So I lure her out and take her photo!

She has gotten bigger...I remember the last photo she looked smaller than that. She looks scared here...maybe you should bribe her with treats

Yeah she is totally afraid of my camera...she's happy as can be until I pull my camera out and then she tries to get away...makes it very difficult to take photos of her!

Awww, poor thing. Maybe if you left the camera on the ground and she had a chance to sniff it out and be around it when it is not doing anything? I know that works with the bunny when he is affraid of something.

What a beautiful eye.

Thank you! I can't wait to see him too! I hope Mocha likes him...

I'm not too familiar with Crested Gecko (or Gecko's in general) habits when meeting one of it's own. She might be aggressive, docile, or even terrified. Or maybe he'll be the one with the weird behavior! 
Thought of any names yet?

Latte...
Hopefully they will like each other since most people keep them together!

What a cutie. Mine, unfortunately LOVE my camera and frequently jump on it when I'm trying to take pics of them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would trade that for "RUN AWAY" every time she sees the thing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mine are all very socialized. Do you hold her a lot?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I try to hold her a little everyday, but she has always seemed a bit skittish. She also tries to eat my fingers, which can get a little annoying.
I'm learning as I go I guess!

Yeah, it doesn't hurt much at all thank goodness! When she's hungry she goes after my rings and pinkie fingers...I have to keep her away from them and go get the meal worms so she will calm down lol! I'm hoping that having another lizard in the tank with her will calm her down a bit. It worked with one of my dragons and I hope it works for her!

Worms? What kind do you give her? I've tried superworms with iffy results. A few go crazy for them a couple won't touch them with a 30 foot pole.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just meal worms. The breeder I bought her from uses them so she is used to them and goes right after them. (She looks really funny with like 5 sticking out of her mouth at once!) She goes after crickets too, but I don't have those as often for her. The meal worms are convenient and she likes them. I feed her the crested gecko diet too.
My dragons LOVE superworms...they will do all sorts of silly tricks to get their jaws on one!

Oh, wow, be careful with those. X_X Crested are really prone towards impaction, and mealies will often do it since they have rather hard exoskeleton's.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah the dragons are the same way...but I'm not too worried as she poops on me every time I take her out in addition to eating my fingers!

Yeah...well...Have you read my journal? My beloved snake had liver cancer and I even tried chemotherapy to save her...She was just such a part of my family that I owed it to her to give her the same treatment I would give a human. I miss her...

Not latel. I've been bad about keeping up, sadly. There is just too much serious drama in my own life. O_O I'm so bad. But I was in the hospital, then my uncle was murdered, then my grandmother died.

Oiy...I don't blame you. I'm very sorry 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, not a can of worms at all. My Grandmother's memorial service was yesterday. So it was on my mind.

Making the photograph a little higher on the shutter would have had a really nice effect, making it look more mysterious, devious, and just so much cooler!
Still nice though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You mean to make the shadows darker? That really wasn't my intention, but would you like me to develop it differently for you? I would be happy to put another version in scraps!
And I am assuming by "higher" you mean faster, but if you mean a slower shutter let me know. She was moving around so much I needed a fairly fast shutter speed to catch her before she moved...she's not one to sit there all pretty like Zot!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Higher as is in faster. . . sorry bout that
It would be pretty cool to see an "evil" version of the photograph, and lots of people would enjoy it too
She's a cutie though! How old? Didn't you say you were going to breed them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, this was already underexposed two stops, any more and I would have lost detail in the lighted areas. I think what you are looking for may be more contrast and that can be done during the "developing" of the photo.
I do get what you mean though. I may mess around with it an put another version in scraps.

Try leaving the camera on top of her terrarium or beside it. Every time you come into the room pick the up put it to you eye and than set it down somewhere else

That's a really good idea! I'll have to try that! Thank you!

It work for me with a very shy iguana

Omg you're gonna breed crested geckos? That is crazy awsome! I started with a collection of two but then I bought more and more ^^ I pratically became obsessed XD Now I ended up with 15 lol and getting more--- The babies they're producing now are incredible! I actually had a pinstripe breed with a fire pattern gecko and what came out was an olive colored crestie with a flame pattern and white spots--- We had a breeder offer us 400$ for her but we kept her XD
Btw ur female looks alot like my male XD almost the exact coloration
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I honestly know nothing of color morphs or anything... 
When I get a new reptile now I always try to get a pair--I kind of look at it as an investment. The money I will make from selling the babies will go into a vet fund, so when one of them gets sick I don't have to worry about the costs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I started out like that as well. But then I began to research color morphs and began looking for the more extravagant color breeds. I believe I uploaded one of my cresties pictures, my white dalmation. It's such a shame that she was being abused- At least she's happy now.
You'd be surprised at the morphs even the most plain geckos can create
Good luck

....What the hell is a pinstripe harlequin????
Well I've heard they are fairly easy to breed, so it is my hope that they will help keep the vet costs down!
