  I have been seriously doing the reptile breeding thing since 2005, since then Crested Gecko's have been my favorite. I don't give them names so I don't become to attached. I have always bought top quality lizards & snakes from the begining. Out of all the reptiles I own (which is alot) I think I have excelled at cresteds the best. I keep my Cresteds in large plastic tubs with lids that clamp shut on the ends, They are on shelves so it is hard to see the top of the lower cages. Monday I woke up, went to check on the reptiles & look for new babies & Crested eggs (like every morning), smelled something wrong, looked & found my fovorite Crested hanging half in, half out of the tub dead. I fed them  2 nites before (like always) & he must of tried to get out & I closed the lid on him, my favorite reptile yet. If you have been to the reptile show in Harve de Grace, Md in the past 4 years you probably saw him & I'm sorry. You will not be forgotten, my favorite reptile.   Jeff Hopkins  (Hopkins Herps.)
