Are you feeding them multivitamins with every meal? The reason I ask is because you can overdose a reptile with Vitamin D3, and it can cause MBD. D3 is stored in the body, not excreted, and it binds calcium into an unusable form.
Daily insect dusting should be with calcium WITHOUT Vitamin...
The tannish one I would call a tiger. I would also call her a probably female since she has no pores or a bulge, but some boys are late bloomers. The one with the orange dorsal I would consider a harlequin, and a probable male ( I see a little bulge happening too). What color is he when he fires...
I hardly ever actually see my cresties eat. All but one seems to prefer to eat in darkness, after the lights are out.

I was thinking about those black sunshades with suction cups, like the kind you use for a baby in a car? Does anyone else think that might work?
I'm totally new to cresties and have been trying to learn the morphs and traits... But my total noob guess is a yellow brindle?

Also, does anyone know of a guide to crestie colors? I know every species has its own standard for...
