No, I haven't produced any babies yet. The females are between 12 and 16 months of age, so they're just going to begin their first breeding season this spring. My second female, the yellow one, has bred with the male in November, but no eggs have shown up yet...

Jacenta,
Those are very nice looking Cresteds, but they don't appear to be any larger than maybe 20-25 grams each, which isn't really big enough to be sexually mature. Are you sure they're that old?

Anthony:
I know the bottom two females are definitely sexually mature. I have no doubts about that. The two orange ones are relatively the same age, as I got them together when they were only a month old. I don't have a weight scale so I can't really tell what their weight is. However, the darker orange female (third pictured) is my heaviest, and she is very thick and has a healthy size. The other two are naturally smaller. The yellow female is an average size between the two orange girls. The top one is not ready to breed yet, as she is definitely too small (although of age) still and she shows no sexual interests in the male. I'm not sure, though, if she will ever be large enough to breed. They're also thinner than normal right now because the local pet store hasn't had any crickets for the last three weeks due to weather, so they've been fed baby food and CGD in the mean time. They don't plump up on that like they do with crix.
Doug:
The top orange female is too small to breed right now, and may always be too small. The darker orange female is definitely not up for sale or trade. If I can get any luck with the top female to grow some more and breed, then I may consider it at a later time.

They're definitely that old, and from the other pics i've seen are quite stocky as well. #2 is one of mine, she was at least 30g when I shipped her at 8 months and I hear she's getting really big. Nice pics Jacenta.

You definitely have some really nice looking Cresties. I really love the colours of the third female.
