Do You Mind??

[stickytoedgecko]

I was just about to feed our guys crickets, when i saw this.. Figured I should wait a bit until she's done... But of course, I HAD to grab the camera!!!! So much for privacy!!!! Can't you just see the "Do You Mind????" attitude???

"Can't a girl have any privacy around here, Dude?!?!? And now you go and take pictures, post 'em for the world to see!"

Love the picture, it's great.

So how many days before you show us pictures of what she was working on... 60?

[Sean_.E.]

Haha, too funny! Good luck with the eggs!

60 days???

Ha!! No Way, this is what she was working so hard on... :D

I think she meant the babies inside the eggs. ;)
You'll have to post some pictures. :D
I love the mommy picture, too cute!!

[stickytoedgecko]

Oh I know she meant the babies... :)

But, I couldnt resist.. ;)

I ususally have to wait 100-110 days, sometimes a few more, but that's the trouble with the low temperature incubation. It's much better as far as I'm concerned but takes so darned looooong.

For some reason, every time there's a PC Show, a clutch of cresties hatches. I have no clue what formula Grant uses to pick the show dates, but it has only failed once in 4 years that there wasn't a new crestie or two waiting for me in the delicup at home.

That's a classic pic! It would make a nice poster.

Yea, the eco-earth over her face just makes it.. and as we dont incubate, but have them at room temprature,we are going to have to wait 90-110 days! But I am sure they will be worth it!

[DragnDrop]

They'll be worth it.... and they'll turn you to mush the instant you see them. But then again, you already know that. :D

Cool incubation makes for bigger babies, I find they're easier to take care of right from the start. They also eat sooner, most of mine will take a few licks the day after hatching, something that I couldn't get the 'warm' babies to do until they were almost a week. They're also easier to spot when you do a head count ;)

[stickytoedgecko]

So in your experience, do you find the temprature and longer incubation makes a difference in the male/female ratio? Our first set we ever had (the one that you have) we incubated and we ended up with 3 male, 3 female.....

Hi! I'm just wondering if the eggs can be moved or rotated at all for creaties? I'm used to working with snakes, so I don't know how much I have to worry with these guys. Thanks!
