New Leo
OK, I just did something today that I HATE to do, I adopted an animal on impulse.
I went to Petco today to pick up some Crested Gecko Diet, and mentioned to the reptile person that I wanted to get a Leo one day. She said "oh, we have one in the back that's up for adoption - it lost its tail, so we can't sell it, would you like it?" Called Karl, because he really liked the Leo's in Daytona and asked him if I should get it. He gave the ok, and home I came and panicked! LOL
Thank you to Emily through talking me through everything I needed to get this little one set up. I think it's a girl, I can't see any of the anal spores at all, but she may be too young to see just yet.
From my quick study today, to me she looks like she's probably a month old? Would you guys agree?
This "free" gecko ended up costing me darn near $80 to get her set up correctly. Any critiques are welcome!
Enclosure as I'm waiting for temps to get set:
Here she is, less than impressed with me, as I had to soak her to get some stuck shed off her feet. And she also pooped on me, and Joanna's busy IMing me - do you have pictures yet? How about now? Now? Don't ever tell Joanna you got a new pet - she'll hound you for pictures! LOL
And I'm out of here!

Re: New Leo
Awww and you even got her girlie paper towels! How cute! I couldn't have resisted either LOL. Hey I had to harrass you for pics inbetween feeding and running the pups outside, taking care of my own gecko, making dinner, bathing a child, helping him with homework and doing the reading/tucking into bed routine....it was a lot of work fitting in bugging you in IM girlie! Congrats on the new leo!
Oh forgot to ask....any name picked out yet?

Re: New Leo
Docker - that's a cute name. I know Karl is thinking of names too.
Anyone have any clue what color she may become as an adult?

Re: New Leo
Thanks John! Are the blue eyes normal? In your opinion, does she appear overall healthy? She's currently sleeping in her humid hide. I love that they can close their eyes!

Re: New Leo
Poor thing did NOT like me messing with her feet (for now I'll refer to her as a girl) and THEN, I'm refreshing food for the cresties, and Uncle Kracker has stuck shed on his feet.
I can just imagine work on Monday - "so, what did you do this weekend?"
"Me? Oh, I just spend the weekend getting stuck shed off of gecko feet"!
LOL

Re: New Leo
her tail doesn't look bad at all. it will grow back in a bulb shape right there and might even be orange.
Hey Emily, how much of her tail would you say is missing?
