welcome home, Wavvy

[tttaylorrr]

What a good boy eating his food !!! And love his new home, sure he does, too !!!

Smeagol prefers bugs, sigh. I wait him out and make him eat the Gecko diet, but he gets so mad, LOL. Couple time he pooped in it. Then he DID eat a bit, but flipped his little bowl and threw it on the ground. What a stinker !!

Seems that Wavvy is far better behaved then Smeagol is !!!

the rescue gave me watermelon and bug powder but they were mixed together in the container. when my pangea shipment comes in, i'm going to offer one flavor in one dish and one in another and see how it goes and/or if he has a preference.

LOL.

Before you know it you will have a spoiled brat, like I do !

Its so neat that Wavvy still has his tail, too !!

How do they lose their tail? I have an adult at work who's tail is gone. They came that way. The babies all have their tails.

From what I've heard, rather easily! For some, all it takes is a good scare. Or getting stressed. And they drop it !! Others had unfortunate accidents with cage doors. Or cats chasing them.

I have read an article once that said that most (if not all) adults that were observed in the wild didn't have a tail..

When those tails do come off, they writhe around wildly for a few minutes. The wound heals fairly quickly, but unlike most other geckos, the tail won't regrow. They will just have a tiny stub..
