Sorry for the lower quality image, I took this one on my phone and as the saying goes, the best camera is the one you have with you.

This is our old guy, Yoda. He's super sweet, chill, enjoys pets, and will sit and watch a whole movie with you without getting squirrely or bored. We used to have his enclosure sitting on a desk where he had a great view of the tv, and noticed that he spent a lot of time watching what we did.

After playing a variety of videos on youtube and watching his reactions, it seems he'd much rather watch things with people (even news) than with animals, or even specifically crested geckos. Weird, but whatever makes him happy.

He's a great little guy who will give nose kisses when he's in the mood, and sleeps inside a resin model AT-AT. He's also superb at hiding in plain sight and watching us look for him in the enclosure, with what must be devilish amusement. We love him dearly and indulge his tv watching regularly.

Generally you can tell gender on a crested or gargoyle gecko from across the room. Males have a prominent hemipene pocket at the base of their tail which resembles a ballsack. This little lady started to develop one before she was fully grown, and 4 months later laid eggs. I guess I shouldn't have named her after a nonbinary demigod.
