"I came out for THIS?"

Lol, he's going to have a complex when he sees all the other cresties with their tales. He'll be an outcast, a loner, scarred for life...

Okay, over-dramatization. But that second picture is the cutest pic! He just looks like he's cursing.

He just looks like he's cursing.

heehee, yes he does. someone else said it looked like he was saying, "WTF is that????"

[mr~python]

"what did i eat!!"

Very cute! You have to almost wonder what he's thinking. Hate that he lost his tail, but what a pic!!

[Razaiel]

Poor thing - looks like he's wondering how to get it back again ...

Thanks! I enjoy my psycho-ness. (ha I'm making up words too!)

How's the little guy doing? All healed up, I hope. I'm such a sucker for the tailless geckos. I just think they're adorable.

I've been trying to figure out how to hold one of the little guys and offer a little CGD from my finger. How do you get them to sit still long enought to try and tempt them???

[mlededee]

he seems to be doing just fine now that he has found his balance. he was pretty off balance for the first little while having no tail and not being sure exactly what happened to it!

oh right getting them to sit still--that's the fun part! i keep hatchlings and juvies in kritter keepers. i pop off the top and get them to jump up to the edge of the keeper and perch there. in the short moments that they are perched, trying to decide on their next move i dab the cgd on their noses, and repeat until they realize it is food and start licking. this often involves lots of leaping off of the kritter keeper, being placed back on the edge, running up arms and shirts, some bouncing around and other general craziness--but once they sit still long enough to realize that there is something good to eat on their nose they will start licking and you can feed them right out of a spoon. after you do this with them a few times they start to figure out that you are going to feed them and it gets MUCH easier. warning: small geckos also like to jump into spoonfuls of cgd and make big messes.

LOL! Sounds like a LOT of fun!!
