With all the wonderful colors and such that cresties come in are there such a thing as albino ones?? I know there is a color morph that is blue (has yet to proven I believe) but that is the closest I've gotten to seeing an albino one.

I havent heard of an albino crestie but i have thought about how cool it would look.
As for blue cresties, there is no true blue crestie from what i heard, however some cresties appear blue during shed.

I have seen site saying they have blue cresties. But as I said it remains to be proven. I think an albino crestie would look awesome!! Would also cost your arm, leg and first born!!
I know what site you're talking about, and the geckos look grey to me. Marketing gimmick.
As far as I'm concerned blue is BLUE, not grey.
I've seen that site as well, at least the site owners are honest about it being completely unproven and the one pictured is the only one they have seen displaying a true blue color. Although given the way cresties (at least mine) seem to change color all the time it could just be a shedding thing.

crucified,
the author of that article in that mag has said in the KS forum that the blue cresties were in shed during those photos. Nevertheless, those pics and that article are great.

Yeah, it had something to do with the lighting, and the fact that it was in shed. If you look at the other cresteds in the photo, they also have areas that appear 'blue'.

In that Reptiles Magazine, if you go to page 30, the top pic, you can see that the blue crestie is in shed, look at his lips and you can see his colour-brown. Just though i would mention that. :)
