    Re: My New Leachie

    Thank you!

    I forgot to add, I named him Chirrut Îmwe, after the blind monk in Rogue One - Cassian just wasn’t quite right.

    No more pictures, since I haven’t seen him since Saturday night. I keep telling myself this is normal, this is ok, he’s just doing the normal baby thing and hiding. And it’s ok that he hasn’t eaten yet, I don’t need to go hunting for him. Yep, I’m a nervous gecko-mom!

    Yes, yes it is! And I saw little Chirrut last night (happy dance, happy dance!). I was moving his cork bark to check the moisture level of his sphagnum moss, and he was lurking on the far side of the bark. I immediately apologized (because yes, I talk to my critters), and put the bark back.

    Re: My New Leachie

    Chirrut was out when I got home from work last night! Got a crummy picture through the glass, then he disappeared when I un-latched the door. Arrow pointing to his snoot so my non-reptile friends on social media could find him.

    My New Leachie

    Lurking Leachie is Lurking! I opened up Chirrut’s enclosure last night to give him fresh food and mist, and noticed him lurking on top of his cork bark. This was after I’d been home for a couple-three hours with the room lights on, so I think he’s getting braver. He let me get a couple pictures, this is the better one, with the exposure lightened up as far as my phone would take it:



    This morning I finally found poop and urates! Yay! It’s hard to tell if he’s eating his Pangea smoothies, other than the day he left messy footprints on the door, so I feel much better after finding his teeny-tiny little mess. There was also a dark speck in his food this morning, not sure if it was poop or dirt, but the answer is to clean out the food cup and give him fresh either way.

    And now get to blame Sauzo for something. He mentioned the ZooMed nano bulb he uses for Pat, and I picked one up for Chirrut (although I went with the 25W CHE) and added it Sunday evening to help create a little better warm spot. I had to move the enclosure, and between different air flow and the CHE the humidity is going lower, but that’s actually good, as I wasn’t sure it was getting dry enough between the evening mistings. Now I’m misting morning and evening.

    Re: My New Leachie

    More poop this morning, I suspect Chirrut is happier with the addition of the CHE.

    Congrats on the leachie! I got mine last year and he is HUGE now, over 10x heavier than his 12 grams when I got him last year (fall 2016).

    These guys are poop machines... Be warned, their first reaction is often to defensively poop all over you when handled. I wear gloves and watch for the "raised tail" lol.

    Re: My New Leachie

    Chirrut hasn’t pooped on me yet, but I’ve survived corn snake poop (the smelliest, IMO), and being simultaneously pooped, peed, *and* musked on when my Hondo was going through his juvenile delinquent phase. Thanks for the warning of what to watch for!

    Lately I’ve been trying to remember to always change when I get home from work to avoid muddy paw-prints and white glue drips (bookbinding), I really need to make it a habit all of the time.
