Sweet high expression black silvermane boy :) 3 weeks old

Some babies from a current Silvermane litter :) Painfully cute and only three weeks old!

Silvermane Fun Facts:

It’s a relatively new variety - first discovered by Squeaks and Nibbles in 2012

Silvermane can show up as early as 3 weeks old but can show as late as 7 weeks. These babies are 3 weeks old so we have some very early bloomers :)

Baby rats are near impossible to photograph - they got places to be and things to do so forgive the less than perfect focus in some of these. Each photo has more info :)

So I may be a hair biased but I find Silvermane to be the most stunning rat variety :) This is Ivar, a black silvermane self dumbo buck, showing a really beautiful expression of the variety.

your cresties are so beautiful!! i was wondering how you house them, like if you have lots of different separate tanks or?

Thank you :) Almost everyone here is house individually. I do house clutchmates together as babies ( they don’t mess with each other until they get a little bigger then they’re separated ) and breeding pairs live together briefly during the breeding season. I just have a gecko room full of tanks/tubs dedicated to them.

what kind of plants are safe for crested gecko living terrariums? im having a hard time finding some

Cresteds are pretty big and heavy bodied as far as geckos go so you’re really looking for things that are more sturdy. Pothos is just about unkillable so I’d highly suggest that :) Other than that large bromeliads would work well, airplants, spider plants, Sanseveria ( snake plants), etc. I’d highly recommend Josh’s Frogs as a source for terrarium plants :)

Izalith is very cute, are they named after what I think they are??

Indeed! All of his siblings were named after various pyromancy/Lost Izalith/Chaos Witches references as well. Some of my other geckos are soulsborne theme named as well :) I’ve got all 4 knights of Gwyn, an Annalise, an Astora, Astraea, a Vinheim, Marvelous Chester, etc. Too many good names in FromSoft games!

Season 1 of Adventure Time: ah shUCKS, Ice King is capturing princesses AGaIn??? Better go punch him to justice!!! hahaha this is mATH!! *fart joke*

Season 6 of Adventure Time: If just being born is the greatest act of creation, then... what are you supposed to do after that? Isn't everything that comes next sort of a disappointment? Slowly entropying until we deflate into a pile of mush?
