They are crested geckos. They're REALLY easy to care for. They like room temperature (high 70s/80s is often considered too high for them), they can eat a commercial diet and insects, while some would argue otherwise, are not mandatory for their health, they don't require a water dish, instead, you mist them once, heavily at night and they'll lick it up off their tank decorations (the misting also helps keep the humidity right). Most are pretty handleable, though some can be a bit spaz. Just... you can't keep a male and female together (as I've experienced, not that I did it out of ignorance... Bumble just honestly looked like a girl...) >.< And males are territorial... so if you want multiples in one tank, they've gotta all be female, heh. Optimal cage size is 18x18x18 for an adult, though 12x12x18 can work too, but some people criticize it's too small. A small community of females (2-4 depending on temperment) can be kept in an 18x18x24. One awesome thing about these guys, is that they do really well in natural setups. ALL of my tanks are fully planted... Though Bumble's still needs some work when I have the money. (just make sure you don't get toxic plants, they lick water off their stuff to drink, and jump a lot (ie.. could break stems)). One interesting thing about them though.. they do NOT grow their tails back (I think they're one of, if not THE, only gecko that doesn't grow it's tail back after autotomizing it). Bumble actually is tailess (lost it as a hatchling before I bought him, it's actually not a "bad" thing, apparently most wild cresties don't have tails).
One thing that I REALLY love about them is their crests. They're actually REALLY soft and fleshy. Crimsie (not one of the ones I posted) will actually let me play with hers.
If I get more than one hatchling.. or this one turns out male
I'll end up having to try and sell them... So.. if anyone is in southern ontario...
