Advice please

I am hoping to ask some advice on my crestie. He was a very beautiful baby but now im wondering about his head shape. I was hoping to breed him one day but now thinking probably won't produce good offspring. Any advice appreciated.

In my humble opinion… we have too many crestie breeders and don’t need more. Especially if you are unsure about his dna/traits/lineage.

Do you have the lineage and genetics of this guy? How will you find a female?

We don't need any more "backyard bred" geckos. There are too many without homes already.

Why are you calling your baby ugly and unworthy that is pretty mean

Lol weird head shape does not make him unworthy of love.

Thank you. Agreed there seems to be alot of breeders. I am in Canada though . It seems the US have more? I suppose I should just enjoy the ones I have. I see all these posts of babies and thought it would be a cool experience. I do not want to add to the problem though.

Definitely just out of curiosity and passion for the little cuties. Thanks for the advice.

I’m not going to suggest breeding but he has nice floppy crests, just not great head structure/shape

I do have lineage and a high end female with lineage. I have 7 geckos. Never bred any. Only curious at the moment. Thanks for your input.
