    Smeagol pics..will be updated frequently!

    For anyone who likes to see him, this will be the thread of Smeagol pics. The random ones that don't deserve their own thread (psst, don't tell him, he thinks he deserves his own thread 4 times the day)


    Stretching is important !!!

    Streeeeeeeeeetch....







    if you look cute you get yummy bugs..






    Did my first deep cleaning of the Viv. Basically, just to switch stuff around a bit and clean water spots off. Going to mist with drinking water from now on to avoid those dang water spots !!! Smeagol was NOT happy that he had to go back into his Kritter Keeper while I worked. He promptly pooped in there to let me know how he felt about it.
    After scrubbing off the water spots and finding 2 errant and well hidden poops I cut off a tiny piece of the tree. That part came to close to the edge of the door that folds INWARDS as you open it. If not careful, you can pinch a gecko that is close to that area. Smeagol liked to sleep to close to the door and it made me nervous that I could catch him between the branch and the door. I put the corkbark on its end, to see if he will like it better that way, he usually ignores everything on the ground. The empty corner got a nice big rock that has a plant above it, for an additional shaded and hidden hang out, if he ever chooses to go there, LOL. I haven't went full out bio active on the soil yet, still growing the springtails, but I put some leaf litter on top of the Reptile Prime. Wow, it smells so good. Looks nice, too.

    He is still sleeping in his favorite spot, but further away from the door, which is what I wanted. His Viv is always a work in progress, I have 2 artificial stand up plants coming that I may put in the left corner. He doesn't seem to mind the changes, still begs for food and is all over the place once his sunset lights come on

    Btw. they most definitely do drink out of water dishes. At least Smeagol does. Got to observe him take a good long drink right out of the little cup. That is a relief, so I know I don't have to over mist just to get him to drink.







    Of course this morning we have nice little food hand prints all over the formerly clean glass and urates all the way from the top of the tree, streaked down the tree and on his new leaves. LOL.

    But...no water spots


    Let's end this with a couple cute belly pics..

    Seeing your pictures or smeagol all the time makes me want to get a crestie soooo bad. Awesome pictures, so much personality in such a small package.

    Guess who weighs 16 grams today Doesn't sound like much, but he came at 11 grams 4 weeks ago and they gain weight rather slowly. So 5 grams (which was half his weight) is a pretty good gain

    Lol that guy looks like he like to stretch out almost as much as my beardie.

    Also funny how his head looks like it is twice the size of his body.

    Definitely seems different than my gecko experiences which involved my barking cage fighter Tokay gecko and my lightning fast house geckos.

    He definitely is a funny guy.

    Right now he is throwing a royal temper tantrum.

    I'm not giving in to his begging eyes. He wants out of the cage and he wants Dubia Roaches. Now. Right now.

    So he keeps staring at me. Sitting by the door. Sitting on the ledge. If that doesn't work, he is jumping around. Jumping into his Crested Gecko diet food dish and splattering it everywhere.

    Most likely he will poop into the food or throw the dish down again like he has done before, LOL. But he has to learn that he can't have bugs every day, he needs to eat his gecko smoothies, too !!

    Its like living with a teenager slamming doors and whining around, sheesh !!!

    Re: Smeagol pics..will be updated frequently!

    Here he is..the little ticked off Gecko. Where are my roaches!!






    I'll just step all over the food and smear it everywhere!



    Now he is mad and won't look at me! I just let him climb on my hand but then put him back into the cage. No roaches!




    Here is the video, the bright light threw him off for a few seconds, he likes it darker
