OMG i absolutely LOVED the video!!! Katie you look cozy and lovely. [emoji4]

Ezzy looks amazing, but y'all already know that 🤩

Are they less cage defensive if you get them when they're much younger? (of course then I suppose they're faster & more hyper? probably can't win?)

They can be jumpy as little ones, so I have heard. Steve at Leapin' Leachies was very helpful and will pick up his phone. His number is on his site.

The cage aggression is supposedly more common in males, but it depends on the individual and species. It generally happens as they get older.

For what's worth, Ezzy hasn't done that since. We still pick her up with glove to be safe.

I'm trying to see if I can get her to "talk" to me... we shall see.

From what I've read too, they just are gonna be cage defensive at times... but she is fun once she is out. I think it too me off guard at first!

I got some good pictures of Ezzy and Katie has given me permission (:)) to post them.

She's really turning out to be a wonderful Leachie. So calm (always out of the tank and most of the time in) and she's eating well. She was 185G when we got her and is now 200G.

Katie is doing a great job of caring for her first reptile, if I can say so myself.

Just have fun with it ;) We've all started at some point and you are already way ahead. I LOVE her whitish eyes, that looks to cool.
You really picked a good one !

OMG!! That is Katie's new screenname...It just dawned on me!!! (DUH...) I am so very jealous of your beautiful Leachie. They are so darn expensive and being that I am in Canada, the price is doubled! I am loving her colors and the name you gave her is beautiful as well.

I just picked up a beautiful orange bloch reticulated gargoyle gecko and named her Neela... They too are very awesome little creatures. Thank you for sharing Katie and please keep us updated on her progress :D
