cresteds live in an environment ranging from 68 to 78 degrees, so the heat mat isnt necessary unless your house is a little more on the chilly side. i can tell by looking at him he has a pretty severe case of mbd(metabolic bone disease) if you know, its from lack of vitaman/nutrition. i would advise adding calcium to his water dish and gutloading/coating his insects, and providing the best housing possible. mbd is irreversible, however you can help it
A beautiful little critter! I've been admiring some of the reptiles and frogs at Manchester Museum's Vivarium this afternoon. I could have happily spent the next few days down there - fascinating creatures ;0)
@Romankid789 we got him from someone else who didnt look after him so well. He was losing colour from his skin and not moving around, "sticking" or eating very much. I cleaned up his enclosure, added a heat mat and hand fed him for a few days and hes picked right up.
if you want inquisitive you should see my leo!
