crested gecko shedding

[Madortoise]

Here's my Hans shedding his skin last night. I thought it was cute that he looked like he's wearing a hoodie.
He's calmed down a lot in a last few months and put on some weight, growing to catch up with Jolie.

Yeah! 2 responses! Thank you!!

Yes, he's got the same color scheme as when he was 3 months old - striped Harlequin but getting deeper in hues of orange & cocoa. The other one I got later (Jolie) was creamy color Harlequin Dalmatian but interestingly s/he's become a crone of Hans with dots.

It took me long enough...

Hans and Jules (formerly known as Jolie)...

Some pix of old and new terrarium set ups/experiment w/a home-made fog machine, the evidence of Jolie being Jules...etc.

Great looking cresties, mado!

Thank you! I love them. They're so fun and I think I'm doing a pretty good job taking care of them so far. Temp control has been challenging with this heat wave we're experiencing in LA.
I came home today and the tank was way over 80 degrees I had to air out and mist the tank until it went down in temp. I think I'll have to check back on them tomorrow lunch time. I may invest in a little clip on fan for the tank.
