Thanks for everyone's advise last week re Leopard geckos, but after speaking to the guys at the lizard lounge, and snake shop, ive decided a crested gecko was more for me.

Ive just been to the snake shop and reserved the little cutie, im picking him up next week. I think its a flame (pale green, beigey colour with a yellow stripe down its back).

Ill post pics when its settled in. I think ill provisionally give him the highly unoriginal name of Spike-until i find out if he is actually a he or she.

looking forward to seeing pictures of Spike! xx

Flames have red sides make sure your getting the morph your paying for.

How much is it a true flame would be about £90-£100

It looks similar to this:

I know absolutely nothing about morphs tbh-i just wanted a pretty one that was all brown etc. Its costing me £65. Not picking it up until next weekend so if you are passing snake shop, have a look and let me know what it is.

Im confused tho as the crested gecko websites and the crestie book ive got state that flame is not a colour but a pattern on any colour.

I love cresties. Every intention of getting one (or two or three!) once we've moved :)

Don't forget we want to see pics of 'spike' :)

He's lovely. They only had a couple of buckskins at lizard lounge and i wanted something with more colour. I toyed with getting one off the net and having it couriered but not sure how humane that was.

Theres always reptile taxi but it can be costly.

lizard lounge have cresties in.

Only buckskins though. Ive paid for the one at the snake shop-although if it wasn't for the space i think i may have got a skink.

you could have had sand fish they are like small skinks.

I personally like bluetongues

Thats what i was looking at-a blue tongue, it was £85. John in snake shop says they make great pets as are very tame. I just need a bigger house 1st.
