 I got a crestie, I got crestie Yay

Ok well actually on christmas my parents gave me a hundred doller bill, and said i could get anything i wanted, so while we were at a local reptile specialty store in omaha seeing about getting some silkworms, i asked my mom if it would be okay to get a new pet, and having a bearded dragon, and knowing how he eats like a horse lol, my mom wanted something that didnt need an expensive uv light, no extra heat, little or no live food and smaller than a beardie, i thought about a crestie, the lady still had four left from her clutch so i thought, why not, it does meet the requirements, as long as i use the crested gecko diet, well a picked out the little guy, bought a 20 galllon high tank, a screen lid, a spray bottle, 4 2 foot vines, a brick of eco earth, the crestie of course, some cgd, it all came up to about 115 dollers, i asked my parents for a little extra money, well 3 days later me and clepto Aka "sticky fingers" magee are liven the good life, but i had been worried because he seemed to not be eating his babyfood supplemented with gcd, but when i went to bed a bout 5 minutes ago i flipped on the light and there he was on the ground, just having drained a bottle cap full and looking like he had just been caught doing something wrong, so im hoping that this means that he is adjusting well, well here is i apick of him and his enclosure, i am too tired to upload the rest of the pics
this is a really bad photo of him but my cousin took it while he was on the run


and this one is of the cage, although i did rearrang it a bit and put a smaller amount of food in, and added a fluorescent tube to help stimulate his photperiod or whatever it is called, i also added a water dish and digi thermometer as well as put some more vines in

Cool. It is normal that they not eat when they are first put into a new enclosure. And when you are not too tired upload the rest of the pics. I would love to see them.
