I actually have 3 available, but one just hatched and the other is only 2 months. I am having trouble uploading my site right now.

I personally disagree with selling a baby crested at one month. I sell at 3 - 4 months just to make sure they are 100% healthy. Again I do not mean to insult any other breeders. It saves both the breeder and customer problems in the future I believe.

If you are interested got to the Canadian Ad section and look at my post under Lizards. There is more info there. I will not ship anywhere it is too stressful.

This baby is unsexed and I accept non-refundable $50 deposits. I was hoping to sell in August but I can hold him until Sept. Since the baby will be 3 - 4 months that is why he or she is a bit more in price.

I actually bought 2 of my breeders off of Cindy. She is very nice. I also purchased that BD off of her too when he was just a baby. I find it very strange that she would charge more for herbaby BDs then her cresteds since BDs lay WAY more eggs, but it is up to her

Thanks for everyone's posts!

are they all $150 or only the 3 month old? how much are the hatchlings? (when you do sell them, since i know you like to wait)

I agree with you Moonlight Pets, only selling cresties when they are nice, strong and healthy. I saw at least 6 cresties in a pet store that just looked like they hatched, they were under the age of 2 weeks forsure. Hopefully someone buys them soon and takes proper care of them.

Well since I don't sell any younger than 3 - 4 months yes they are all $150. Unless I get a very unique colour, which may be a bit more. I will not sell anything younger than 3 months UNLESS I have a 'special' agreement with the buyer and may sell at 2 months. Though the price will not change for younger babies because it is not fair to others who are buying at 3 - 4 months.

Hope that helps a bit.

Thank you for your support. That is horrible about the hatchlings. I hope they find good homes as well.

Thanks!

I bought mine for about 100$, a very nice colour (red tiger, but it changes colours A LOT, it's wierd....sometimes after a shed it's bright yellow)...it was about 2 weeks old when I was arranging to buy it.

I saw a bunch of baby cresties in a pet store in North Haven, CT for $125, and those were even missing their tails!! The markup *is* incredible.

HeatherRose · 07-29-03, 05:27 PM

I got my crestie from a good breeder with a really good reputation on this site and others

...it was shipped well, arrived fine and healthy and I was very pleased. Still, I wasn't totally experienced in buying it, so I wasn't sure how old it should be but it doens't bug me much.

She's about to pass the one year mark

My $150 is in Canadian dollars. I hope that was clear. So that is about $100 US. I think that is pretty average for a 3 - 4 month. I've seen on average for this age anywhere from $120 - 250 from a PRIVATE breeder

I saw one in a pet store AWHILE BACK for $600 CDN. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?? It ended up selling for $300 - 400. It was an adult greenish gray male.

I guess that it is hard to give or talk about an average price because there are just so up and down depending on the breeder.

WOW 150! Expensive...I know pet stores who sell 3-4 month olds for 125.00.

I bought all three of mine here around the 1 month mark or possibly younger. All were cheap and under 90. I got a "fire" morph incubated for female for 45. And another sought after morph for nice price. And the other one I got for about 35.

CDN-Cresties · 07-31-03, 03:59 PM

Thats cool, Aaron, can you post some pics of them?
Thanks

**Aaron_S** · 07-31-03, 08:57 PM

CDN-Cresties · 07-31-03, 08:59 PM

Posting is easy but you need pics, oh well, maybe some other time
