[trexgorawrrrrr]

Wow! She is beautiful, and was so cheap. I am very jealous!

[EcBuddy123]

@trexgorawrrrrr well actually she is a he now haha, not very dependable on sexing when younger haha

[sk8monkey8989]

she looks very nice

[EcBuddy123]

@sk8monkey8989 I actually havent made an update in a while but it might be a he now since she... or he now has bulges haha

[burningthelegends]

i bought just my cage for 109$ its a 12x12x18(exo terra) and still have to buy the gecko for 90$

[EcBuddy123]

@burningthelegends yeah l0l, wow hey if u invest in the tank you might as well insvest in the pet l0l, sounds cool, i got a zilla cage now for her, the acrylic one, it was cheaper but basicly the same just cheaper, crapier looking l0l, what type of gecko you going to get?

[EcBuddy123]

@burningthelegends btw at shows they sometimes throw deals for animals might want to look into that :)

[burningthelegends]

lol



[burningthelegends]

spray spray spray now my gecko is swimming lol

dont spray her like that

she dont swim lol

[EcBuddy123]

@burningthelegends haha, i guess i just like to get her a little wet because water just beads of their skin haha but yeah :)

[EcBuddy123]

ah. ok well hope you get a video up soon

[Giusep00]

Why was she so expensive? I got mine at the expdayo to for $25 and shes a extreme harley, unless yours is a more expensive morph. I bought mine from Geckos Exotics.

[EcBuddy123]

@Giusep00 i got her with all the stuff except the tank, and i got her from pangea reptile.com, but they were some others for sale, that were cheaper but she was really extraordanry of a harley i guess, she did stand out to me :) l0l

[Giusep00]

@EcBuddy123 Oh ok :) And about my coment before, I meant to say "I got mine at the expo yesterday", my keyboard is weird lol 

[EcBuddy123]

@Giusep00 cool you have a video of it up yet? would be cool to see it

[Giusep00]

@EcBuddy123 I want to :) But the camera broke so all I have right now is my phone but the video on it sucks.

[Giusep00]

Very cute. Im hoping to get a crested gecko this weekend at an expo but everybody says not to use a 10 gallon and thats all i have at the moment. Does yours seem to mind your 10 gallon?

[EcBuddy123]

@Giusep00 ten gallon is big for a baby usually but its ok as long as you seem them eat and poop to make sure its eating, thats y they say big enclosures are bad for little guys, but as long as they eat it is fine, eventually they will like something bigger, really depends on the size, but ten can be perfact as a temp tank, mine did fine, she was only like a couple months old, and she did fine, she liked i in there, now shes in a zilla cage but a ten gallon is pretty good so yes it is fine.

[zama59]

how much do u have to spray it

[EcBuddy123]

@zama59 till humidity is right even though i sorta guess it haha, but i like to moisten things well, and make it look like it rained, like wet her leaves, and the walls, humidity i believe should be at 50-80% but most sites dont have an adequete measure, i just spray her every night

[zama59]

@zama59 k tyt i still think ill get an automatic mister

[EZIO391]

You are right she is really pretty!

[emostars71]

thats cute do you ever put Valentine on him to see what he does? My little nephew I have a goldfish tank set-up for him its cute watching him feed them and I take him to the fish place I go and I let him get the net and scoop out a fish that he likes its funny

[EcBuddy123]

nope shes still too little and so is he l0l he can hurt her or she can like jump off since she is still small (sleepy in the day doe) l0l but my bro has petted a bearded dragon so l0l! cool i used to hve goldfish for like years!

[emostars71]

LOL you couldnt talk were your parents there to hear you? Does your lil brother look at Valentine as well

[EcBuddy123]

yeah my mom and bro were home they were sleeping as well so i didnt want to wake them, i did say some things here and there nothing much but something happen since i wasnt talking regular the everyonce in a while i would talk it didnt come out so i got rid of audio and added music l0l should be up later

[EcBuddy123]

o yeah my bro sees her sometimes wen she isnt hidding or when i get her up and around sometimes i put her at the bottom of the tank for he can see her for a while but then she hides in the leafs again

[nelson4568]

thats sick i used to have a leopard gecko, a few anole's, skinks, and a chameleon, he only lasted a month unfortunatly sick when i got em tried my best...i had a collection going on for a while hhaha

[EcBuddy123]

cool man i guess i started mine already l0l cool i wanted a skink but they need alot stuff and grow pretty big but maybe in the future i can buy one, wat type of skink did u have?

[emostars71]

Whoo hoo...LOL

[EcBuddy123]

ok i couldnt do an upate since i couldnt talk but i did hold her alot! l0l like 10 mins ll0l

[emostars71]

Just whatever kind of vid you wanna make how is she eating and things

[EcBuddy123]

ok i will hold her for u and a litle update

[emostars71]

Well in san francisco we dont get a summer out summer was mainly foggy this yr we get warmer weather out of the blue we dont get seasons like most other cities do yah a handling vid I wanna see you hold valentine

[EcBuddy123]

ok i'll try this weekend l0l u just wan her like walking on my had or like anything especial? (ima like this lmao i need a tripod!! l0l) but i'll get up as soon as possible (meaning if i can this weekend by this weekend l0l)

[AmazingAshley77]

Shes fired up when she shows her darkest colors! :) Make sure you dont over spray. It needs to be dry in the day. Spray once a night. Great lookin gecko! Matt from pangea sold you a stunner!

[EcBuddy123]

yeah but like shes darker in the day rather than at night, she gets paler and lighter in color l0l! yeah shes awesome, l0l if matt was the guy at the expo then yeah he sold me an awesome gecko! yeah i dont really spray much some time at night (really wet it down) and a little in the day since she does have a light over her tank so the water dries up quickly

[avisaltic]

i hope you get something to cover up the bottom

[EcBuddy123]

like substrate? right now since she is small paper towel is pretty much the best since she cant really eat it and stuff, but maybe when she is older i will make a live terrarium with plants and stuff

[emostars71]

actally in sf its not always 70 on average 65 maybe 67 if I lived in so cal then yah more warm weather or ok I thought crested needed a heat source when are you gonna make a handling vid

[EcBuddy123]

yeah thats ok i mean in the winter its perfect pretty much, actually u might have to worry bout the summers! since they can over heat in 90 degree wather but we got ac so yeah, and is that a request vid? i was working on a care sorta vid ( have it done but not sure weather or not to upload yet) and i will make a handling vid if u want =^] (any request is good to me since i get ideas for vids)

[emostars71]

So do they need a heating lamp or just a heating pad

[EcBuddy123]

well u really need nothing like i said i have the light because the house right now is pretty chilly (tank went down to like 66 in the day so..) but u can have a heat pad but if ur house is like at 70 to 75 year round u dont need nothing

[emostars71]

LMAO its so funny when you say my new crested gecko OMG!!!

[EcBuddy123]

yeah i like to make little sound effects l0l

[emostars71]

Oh that is cool maybe one night you can take pics of her like that! So they dont need a heating source? Or there is a heat mat

[EcBuddy123]

yeah i might take pics but my cam is more of a recording cam than a picture cam so lighting sucks the pic sucks l0l, nope well all her heat comes from a light source, i have a clamo lamp above her with a regular bulb and that heats up the tank to about 70 degrees, and thats ok since it is winter anyway, so tats it for heating l0l

[emostars71]

WOw she has nice colors!!! That is good that you got one you mentioned it had a feeling you were probably goona get one...You should of picked up some cork bark they make good basking areas for the turtle tanks as well...lol

[EcBuddy123]

yeah but big pieces cost like 20 bucks? and i got basking spots already l0l yeah she gets real light fired up at night l0l

[laceyqueso98]

I hope you dont plan on eating her! :o there is a fork in her tank at 3:30 lol j/k ;)

[EcBuddy123]

lmao not yet! lmao j.k no thats her mixing spoon/fork thing i used to make her food, l0l

[laceyqueso98]

Tank looks great and very cute crested and good choice in name :)

[EcBuddy123]

yeah thanks, shows how far 15 dollars goes for decor hehe, but thanks! hope u enjoyed the vid

[STERNOTH]

oh awesome your habitat looks beast!

wow shes beautiful, ahaha and nice name :)

[EcBuddy123]

[STERNOTH]

[EcBuddy123]

[STERNOTH]
