Hey all,
Yes, I made up the word reptiphobia, was not sure what it was called so that's what a fear of reptiles is called now LOL
Was at a show this weekend, did some buying, selling and trading. One of my trades ended up being for a baby crested. Had never had cresties before and realized how kool they really are! I ended up trading for a bunch of them :)
My whole plan behind them was to start a breeding project and, more importantly use them to break my girlfriends fear of reptiles. When we first met she was literally freaked to just come into my house! Now she comes in, she just stays away from the reptile room.
She was over tonight and I was moving the cresties from their temporary enclosures into some more comfortable ones. I handled them some and let them jump from hand to hand. She thought they were really neat. She had never really come near a reptile before let alone touched one and within 15 mins of seeing the cresties she was handling them! I think I've got her hooked :)
It took a while to find something but now she's even got names for all of them LOL
This is definitly an amazing species and they make great pets.
I'm sure I'll be doing much more digging around in the crested
forum! I will definitly have to post some pics of the little guys too!
