Ataro, my Giant Leaf Tailed Gecko
I had a Giant Leaf Tailed Gecko named Ataro, one of the most bizzare looking pets I've ever owned. He passed away over the summer. I still miss the little bug eyed freak.

That made me giggle, I'm sorry for you lose. I've thought of getting a Leo Gecko but we picked up a baby corn instead.

To be honest, I have no idea how old he was. A friend of mine owns a small pet shop where I live and she picked him up at a reptile show. I took one look at the little guy and brought him home.
We did massive amounts of research on Giant Leaf Tailed Geckos, built him a custom cage and we were doing everything the way we were supposed to. We only had him for a month or so before he died.
A friend of a friend saw pics of him and asked us about him stating that he'd never seen one so large before. He suggested that he died of old age, perhaps a retired breeder.
All I know is that he was utterly cool to watch and to hold. We were quite disappointed when he died.

I honestly have no idea. LOL
But I did get the "woah, never seen one that big before" comment a few times. I'm wondering if some jerk breeder did sell him because he was older and no longer breeding. But I have no idea. I wasn't there when she picked him up. I just know that the day she got back I went into her pet shop took one look at him and said MINE! LOL
