[Peewee]

Hi Guys

Thanks

Hi, I too picked up a baby crestie at the weekend, though I've had them before. I've always found that if I just put my hnd in front of them they will climb on.. :main_thumbsup: Just keep your spare hand infront so they have somewhere to jump to and you should be fine..

Ps, any chance you picked him/her up at the IHS show at Doncaster? If so, who was the breeder? Just interested incase you picked up a clutch mate of my little one..

Thanks for the info mate i will give that a try tonight he/she just runs for cover at the mo if i go any where near appart from when there is some food on my finger. He is my first reptile an got it form a local highly recommended rep shop.

Mine hate to be touched, i dont even bother anymore. Everytime i try and i do handle them, they are terrified for the next few days, so i just let them alone. I handle my dumpy tree frog and leo a lot more.
