I went to the pet shop today hoping to pickup two new house geckos, the lady on the phone lied and told me she had them. She meant leo geckos, not house.

So I look around and find some five lined skinks, too skittish. Then see some plated lizards. They were cheap, 14$. Healthy, I did a little quiz on the lady, she knew her stuff. So I bought the male, brought him home, setup a 20 gallon, moved him in. He's got a real sweet setup, he loves it.

He lost the last 2 inches of his tail, so it's regenerated. Only at a 90 degree angle in the air... He's real healthy besides that. He ate extemely well.

He's about a foot by my estimates, a real measurement to come soon.


Yeah, sorta an impulse purchase. I knew a bit about them, had all the equipment, ect. So who cares.
