    Congrats to Sunshinewalker & Ezzy!

    That makes sense that leachies are cage-defensive....not so different from snakes, where not getting bit mostly depends on your approach to signal who &
    what you are ("not food" & "not predator"), & once out they are mostly chill too. What a fascinating pet!

    Leaping Leachies!!

    So Ezzy continues to be a little enigma to me. The first feeding she gobbled all the food down. Then the subsequent ones she did not. So around feeding 4 I offered half of what I had been and she cleaned the cup. So I offered a second cup and she cleaned that out too. (I use the small deli cups to feed her). Last night, she barely ate again. So I am baffled. I am offering every 3 days. I also wonder if she could be picky about the consistency. I noted that last night the food was a little runnier. Can this be the case? I've been doing a 3:1 ratio, except for the feeding that she gobbled everything down when I think I messed up and did closer to 2:1... if that makes any sense.

    At any rate... Baby Leachie has been moved in my room as I am in the process of re-working the room.



    This room was a guest room, but is now transistioning to an office/craft room/library.

    In other big news... Esmeralda had a visitor this weekend... Phillydubs!



    She is seeming to be 50/50 on trying to attack me when she is in the cage. Last night she was pretty chill... though the little booger got into so MUCH trouble. She tried to hide in the chair, and attempted leap from my arm to Phillydubs lap... She didn't quite make it, and I just about had a heart attack... Luckily she seems to be no worse for the wear.

    I also think she might be going into shed. My book shows that they turn a little grayish... and Ezzy is starting to get some gray/dull areas on her nose...

    Looking for any insights from Leachie friends!

    Re: Esmeralda - Bayonnaise Leachie

    SunshineWalker cleaned out Ezzy's tank today and replaced her cork bark, etc. So, I got some bonding time with Ezzy!

    SunshineWalker thinks I hijack the thread, but I cannot help it. Ezzy rocks! Here are some pictures of us chilling!

    SunshineWalker has more pictures she can post if she wants. I am only posting me bonding with Ezzy!

    If I was Sunshinewalker, I'd worry less about you hijacking the thread & more about you running away with my Ezzy!

    Me and Ezzy aren't going anywhere. I am happy to share Ezzy with the Love of my Life!

    See, if I run off with Ezzy, and any other combination of animals, it means I leave SunshineWalker. That is never happening.

    We will happily share her, like we do all the other dogs and reptiles, and live happily ever after, thank you very much!

    You look beautiful as always! Ezzy looks awesome and it's cool we caught one of her clicks/croaks on video.
