Re: Crested babies
"These two seem to be doing well though. They like being with each other."
-Enjoy this behaviour while it lasts. They are looking big enough to have their own enclosures. If you decide not to separate them you may find one (or both) with missing tails (which don't regrow). A friend of mine has several babies in a single cage and one of the smaller ones had gotten it's tail bitten off and devoured by one of the larger ones. This is not surprising because in the wild, ~95% of all specimens seen in the wild have no tails. This being a simple explanation of the species being a top predator in its environment and when food is a bit scarce, or an intruder comes into another gecko's territory, tails will be lost. Even if tails are lost, the geckos will subsequently be better breeders (both male and female). With no tail in the way during copulation, there is less stress for both sexes, and the hemipenes have a much "easier" time entering the cloaca.
-If they both turn out to be female, then you can keep them together. I'd be hoping for this scenario.
