I got a Crested gecko exactly a month ago! Her name is speckelen and she lost her tail and just hatched. And I can tell that she is a girl because she doesn’t have any black pours by her but. Plus they are NOT RARE any more!!! Why does anybody care? You can get one at petco. I mean seriously, if you love them, buy one for pete sake.
