Artist's Comments
Sahara has such a sunny disposition.
 She never fails to make me laugh. Although I find it alarming she still hasn't gotten her sense of balance back after losing her tail. I suppose it will just take time.ETA: A DD! And for my Sahara no less. We are both already overwhelmed with the response and kind thoughts. So I would like to say thank you ahead of time to all that have left favs or comments.  We really, really appreciate it!  In regards to Crested Geckos: The geckos I have are called crested geckos (Also called New Caledonian Crested Geckos,and Eyelash Crested Geckos, ect.) they originate from the island of New Caledonia which is part of the island group that makes up the sunken continent of Zealandia (which was once connected to the continent of Australia and includes New Zealand and Vanuatu.) New Caledonia is a temperate climate, meaning crested geckos are perfectly comfortable at room temperature. They do not need and external heating source such as a heat lamp like most reptiles require. In fact heat can me more detrimental to them than cold. They should never be allowed to be in heat over 83 degrees. It can cause stress or even death. R. Ciliatus belong to the genus Rhacodactylus which also includes: R. Aurticulatus, R. Chahous, R. Leachianus, R. Sarasinorum, and R. trychtrynchus. This is a group of medium sized geckos that have prehensile tails which act as a second limb, and well developed lamellae to assist in climbing. They are as a whole arboreal geckos. Now for the fun stuff. Cresties (as they are called) come in a multitude of colors anywhere from a dull buskin, to bright sunshine yellow, to an eye popping red or Orange. They also have distinctive markings. Some have dalmatian spots (generally in black or red.), others have markings down they dorsals which are referred to as flames, or even no markings at all. Here are a couple color guides: [link] and [link] It must also be noted that this group of geckos changes colors. They generally go from a duller day color and "Fire up" at night to a much more intense color. Diet wise in the wild this group of geckos are fruigiverous. The staple of their diets is rotting fruits with the occasional insect. They have softer jaws than a strictly carnivorous geckos so they are unable to digest bugs with overly tough exoskeletons. In captivity most of us feed them Crested Gecko Diet, as it contains all of the nutrients that they require. Helpful Rescources: Ciliiatus.com [link] Pangae Reptiles [link] Cicada Hollow Crested Geckos [link] This gecko in question is a female. Her morph is a yellow paternless Super Dalmatian. She is 17 months old in this picture. Daily DeviationGiven 2008-01-26Sunshine by =Dellessanna - geckos are quiet fascinating little creatures, its amazing to see them so up close.
