Punkin
After a long search for the perfect colored male to breed to Citrus, I came across this one listed as a male by a well known crested gecko person. He turned out to be a she. It can be difficult to tell a crestie's gender until it is fully grown, and Punkin was still young when I bought her. Her father is a striking stop sign red crestie with large crests. Punkin is quite friendly and weighed 21 grams when she arrived. As of today, 1/23/2012, she's up to 43.6 grams. She can down more food than any crestie I've ever met, and is still growing. She is so friendly and personable that I'll never sell her. The first two pictures were taken the morning she arrived.
Here Punkin's looking out from the plastic container they used to ship her, completely fired down.

And out of the container after her long journey.
Punkin's on a pumpkin. She's not fully fired up, but if she were, they'd be even closer in color!
The poor girl keeps getting scratches on her nose. But how can you resist a grin like that?
