Well last night right around midnight I get a call from an unknown # on my cell. For whatever reason I answerd it. Normally I don't answer unknown #'s.Well thinking it may be a friend who had a little bit to much to drink needing a ride home or something like that. :colbert: I go out of my way for friends who are in need like that. I'd rather have them wake me up at 2am in a drunken state asking for a ride then to get behind the wheel :eek: and attempt to make it home for their safty and for whoever else may be out on the road at that time's safty!
Nope I was wrong. It was a guy who had a friend that knew a friend who knew me and knew that I had snakes and other animals. Well needless to say my # got to him. He told me that he has an adult leo gecko who needs a new home a.s.a.p because him and his wife are on the outs and yadda yadda yadda he's don't really have steady place to live and needs to find a good home for his buddy. :(
Soooo this afternoon I will be taking a drive and meeting up with this guy who has this leo. :cool: I have no idea if he is coming with anything or what kind of condition he/she is in, etc. I hope he is in some what good heath since this guy seems to really care/love "his little buddy". So I'm crossing my fingers that this guy/girl is in good condition.
Well I'm glad today there is/was a reptile show going on because I dumped my plans for this morning to drive up there. Got some :crix::crix::crix:'s, some :roach:'s and mealworms (we need a mealworm icon!!), a new hide, a heat mat, cal&vit dust, water dish and some sand for this new comer. I also called a buddy who is a old ex herp vet to stay on "stand by" :taz: for a call from me in case this guy needs to see someone.
Now if all goes well I won't have to back out on my dinner plans (date) I have with a guy I've liked for some time now.... :carrot: Worse comes to worse I may have to but hey... my animals (my babies) come first, friends come second and what can I say... guys come last! :P
AND YES I POST AN UPDATE AND PICTURES OF HE/SHE HERE LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING IF ALL GOES WELL... *crosses fingers*
Allison i double salute you:salute: :salute: .My reasons are you are willing to lose sleep so your freinds dont drive drunk and you rescue reptiles in need.Here is a wish for luck that you will make your date and adding him to your collection soon :D

First of all.... he/she looks VERY healthy!!!
Well the gecko (Echo) is doing good. I gave it a few dusted wax worms, meal worms, and a few crickets. He took a long drink, ate two wax worms and is now taking a nap in next to his "cave". He apparently had his tail broken off before and I was told he is around 3 years old and likes to be handled and chill out on your shoulder.

I've not had anyone listed in my sig for over a week, since I found this quote that I really like and I put up. Maybe you saw another person who you confused me with? I don't know but it wasn't me sincetwo days ago I had no idea this little guy would come into my life. Also if you are talking about the "what pets do you have" thread, then yes I did name him there today. Other then that I have no idea, sorry.

I've been reading your sig line for at least the last week, and there have been no animal listings. The quote just catches my eye.... frequently it seems.
