    They're here!!

    My new leopard geckos arrived this morning, and they are beautiful!! Still pretty shy, so I haven't really bothered them... but they seem to like the tank and each other just fine. I decided to name the Las Vegas Albino "Sahara" after the LV hotel, and the SHTCT is named "Sunny" after a stuffed bunny I had as a kid (since she's a carrot tail gecko, LOL).

    My camera just died, so I could only snap a couple of fuzzy photos, but here they are:

    Re: They're here!!

    Thanks! Btw, they came from VMS Herps, and I was very pleased with the whole transaction... good communication, fair prices, and beautiful lizards. So if anyone's looking to order some new critters, I would give them a thumbs-up!

    Here's a picture of the tank before I added the leos... I realize now the water dish is too large, so I'll replace that & also add a calcium dish. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and they seem to be comfortable so far.

    Oh, and I decided to try out that repti-carpet, instead of using paper towels or newspaper (as I do with my BPs). My roommate uses the carpet for his leos, and seems to like it... I'm afraid cleaning will be a PITA, but figured it was worth a try! I really like how it looks, and thought it would be more sturdy for these active babies.

    Re: They're here!!

    Thanks for the comments! I think they're just gorgeous, and seem very sweet so far. I put my hand in yesterday to see their reaction, and Sahara approached to check me out - she sniffed my finger, and then tried to nibble it. Tonight I fed them for the first time, and they voraciously ate about a dozen small crickets... I also switched their water dish for a small one, added a tiny dish of calcium powder, and moved their rock cave to the other corner (where they were hanging out). They seem pretty content with the tank and each other, as you can see from this picture:
