well here they are. i took some pics of Chancho and weighed him tonight. he weighs around 28 grams (he moved a bit on the scale after i took the pic of him on it and then the scale read 30, so im not sure which one it is).

pictures of him (his tail seems to be getting better)

i dont honestly think that any reptile "enjoys" being handled. some just tolerate it more than others.

crested geckos seen to tolerate being handled more than some lizards i have had. i would put them in about the same category as a leo. where leos can only run away when they get tired of being handled, cresties can climb stuff and jump really far tho so they can excape easier.

Well you he probably needs some patience from your side, Chancho is looking great, too bad we dont have them here at least to see them in the rep-shops. Btw Chancho means pig in spanish in case you didnt know but you probably did.

Btw, hello everybody, I've been very busy at college and fortunately Juancho has been hibernating. ;)

yeah i did know that gebris.

i got Chancho from the guy on this site named COWHER, he already had his name. COWHER told me that Chancho is the name of the fat kid on the movie Nacho Lebre and it means "little piggy"

thanks for the compliments everyone!!

thanks man :) he is an awesome gecko. i am really glad that you decided to let me have him :-D

i am really enjoying the fact that he doesnt try to bite me whenever i reach in his cage like zazu does lol.

i think Zazu might read "how to be a Tokay Gecko" instead of "how to be a Crested Gecko" he is an evil little thing lol
