    My New Leachie

    A real one this time!

    He’s from Tailspinz Geckos, via MorphMarket. I paid for him today, picking him up at Tinley on Saturday or Sunday. Probably changing his name from Bender - he doesn’t look like an alcoholic robot to me. I’m leaning toward Cassian, the male lead in Star Wars Rogue One. Screen shot from his MorphMarket listing, also shows the parents:

    Re: My New Leachie

    I was at our annual floodplain manager’s conference when I got the e-mail from his breeder and finalized payment, it was sooooo hard not squee-ing and bouncing in my seat.

    Awesome! Leachies are great!

    My leachie tip: Make sure you handle it from the time it's a baby to help it not be a cage aggressive adult (doesn't always work, but it helps greatly).

    Definitely planning to, and sounds like the breeder has been. One of the things that drew me to him was that he’s described as being outgoing and curious. I’m trying to decide if I want to put his enclosure in the living room, where we spend more time, but is noisier; or in the bedroom, which is quieter. I’ll probably ask the breeder what she thinks, and in any case moving a baby enclosure around the house is no big deal.

    I need to go spelunking in our storage locker tonight and dig out one of our 12x12x12” cube Exo-Terra enclosures, which is about the same volume as what he’s been in. The breeder pointed me at a video she did of her baby tub setup, which was very helpful. My other stop at Tinley is going to be at the Pangea booth for the food he’s been eating, some cork bark, and probably a feeding ledge. I’m so excited it’s ridiculous.

    My New Leachie

    Wow, I always forget how crowded Tinley is! But we got him, and I got him food, cork bark, and a couple other things needed to finish off his enclosure. It’s a 12”x12”x12” Exo-Terra cube, 3 sides wrapped in aquarium background, a magnaturals artificial plant up high, a piece of pipe insulation running front-back (supported at the front by a magnaturals vine anchor) with the cork bark leaning on it, damp moss in a back corner, and a second length of insulation running parallel to the front - same footprint as his breeder’s enclosure, but taller, so I added the second piece of pipe insulation, otherwise I tried for an identical setup. Such a cute, soft little blob!

    I pointed him at the lower piece of insulation, and he disappeared under his cork bark.




    Drat, lost the tip of his nose in this picture.


    The reflections are pretty bad, but I don’t want to disturb him by opening the enclosure.
