Your first reptile?

[Vasiliki]

Loving these threads today!

Got my first reptile back at a Reptile show in September. Well, immediately after, but I met the breeder and his stock at the show. But I went home to get a proper enclosure set up first Then went and picked up a gorgeous little Crestie that nobody wanted! He was 'plain'. A buckskin with only a handful of dalmation spots. But I loved the little guy!

Took him home and he was SO tiny! My boyfriend and I were smitten. He stayed with my boyfriend originally, on his nightstand at home.

Now Cashew has grown into a big boy, and still has more growing to do. And those few dalmation spots? Well, I'd hoped they would turn out to be more than just a few. And I was right. He now has over 150 spots all over his body! I've had more offers on him than you could believe. But, I got him for a steal, because everyone just saw a 'plain little gecko'.

First night home (boyfriend holding him):
