Petco has Crested Geckos for 50% off right now until June 16th. Booyah. 
So last Thursday I went on a "Crestie-run", aka let's go to all the Petcos in the Raleigh area.

Petco #1 didn't have any cool ones... nor did Petco #2, but the employee at the second store told me to go to Knightdale (my next stop) because they had some nice ones. Pffft, I'm ( Read more... )

i'm not a hoarder, denial, geckos, admitting i have a problem is the first

DAW, KUU IS A DADDY! ♥

And that flame is BEAUTIFUL!

I wish I wasn't so paranoid and skittish with having a reptile. I love them so much but I have no idea how to properly take care of one. I babysat my brother's iguana Fred for like.... two years while he was away at college but he was so old and big it was like having a dog. oO He just walked around and did his own thing.

Yup, Kuu's officially a creepy old man! ;)

If you ever decide you want to take the "jump" into the reptile world, I'd be happy to supply an adorable little gecko to you! =D

Good thing I don't have a Petco nearby, LOL!! XD

I just learned that there are Crested Geckos that come with spots:

That dark flame male you got is lovely! :3

I'm usually safe in NY since the closest Petco is 45 miles away (and the gas cost to get there usually keeps me from going), but it's dangerous around here! xD

Yup! People love dalmatians for some reason... I am not a fan. Dante is a flame dalmatian, but she doesn't have nice spots at all. I've met the girl that owns the site you linked to! She helped me last time I was home and I found a gecko that I needed to ship- I didn't have any shipping supplies so I contacted her and she gave me some :)

JB has the only dalmatians that I like (Mr and Mrs Cheddar): http://jbscresties.com/mygeckos.html

Thank you! I need to find him a good name!

I think there is one across the bridge from me, but I could be wrong?! It is usually 45 minutes to an hour one way...:\

I'll have to look at more Crested Geckos to decide what morph is my favorite. I stumbled upon her site, for I was curious if Sput would regenerate his tail. The answer appears to be a big nope! So, a frog butt he will remain for the rest of his days...XD

Their logo is adorable! Cresties seem to take some of the best pics. Wow, I like him:

He is on hold though, thank goodness!! I love this one too:

How about Heatran? Just kidding, LOL!! XD

I love me some pinstripes and tri-colors :9
Her site is awesome! I have two babies from her: Moose Tracks and Sprinkles, who are both gorgeous! Moose just turned a year old and he's a lovely little fella :3

Yup, the frog butts remain always! Some 98% of wild Cresties don't have tails... so much so that when they first collected them they thought the species was tail less until the first babies hatched, tail and all! xD

Dove is lovely! His sibling, Wasabi, sold for some $350, which my manager and I thought was way too high x_x JB takes amazing pictures of her geckos, gets people to fall in love with them, and then is able to sell them for more because people want them!

This is so belated but the dark flame male you got is so cool looking! His tail reminds me of cookies and cream icecream xD
