Well I believe I've mentioned them before but have never shown you guys if I recall. These are my leopard geckos Pidge and Rufus! This species will always be my favorite lizard (or at least one of them, maybe it's the number one of all my favorites!).
This is Pidge, I always considered her a murphy patternless. Had her since she was a wee 3 inch hatchling. Wish I could find her baby pictures, she was a beautiful baby with a pink tail, yellow body and orange/yellow patternless blobs.
This isn't her enclosure of course, I just use it because she likes to adventure, especially when the camera comes out... It's so hard getting good pictures without her moving too much! haha
Really 44 grams but she's on the edge of the critter keeper so the weight is uneven... but oh well. My fault for not buying a scale with a bowl!
Now for Rufus, I had to use some pics from last month because he's literally shedding this very moment... lol. Didn't want to bother him; but I'll take some after-shed pics tomorrow if I think of it. I'm pretty sure he's an emerald/emerine, but he's shed out quite a bit of the green tint, which he had a lot of as a baby. Could be a tangerine though but I'm pretty certain he is probably emerald
He weighs around 55-60 grams at the moment, depending on how much he's grown since my last weigh in. He's a big boy
I don't plan on breeding them as they're pet store geckos and I don't know much or anything about where they came from/their genetics, but I may look into getting more geckos into the future as pets. If I really feel up to it I might do a single breeding, considering I have the time, space and money to take care of all the babies!
Rufus is at least 6 months old and Pidge is at least 8 months (from the month I got them). Since Pidge isn't a breeder I think her weight is ok, or can someone give me input on this? She seems to have her own feeding schedule and only eats a couple mealworms out of her dish maybe every other night, so I usually hand feed her to make sure she's eating. She doesn't seem to have an eating problem though as she always eats readily, and I know she knows there's food in her dish because there's always one or two missing (I use the small deli cups that mealworms couldn't possibly climb out of; I just use a piece of tile in front of it to make sure they can reach in, because I'm paranoid like that haha)![]()
