Well, Well, Well............. Guess i can start posting in this section now well i went to a pet store in the mall. i usually go and talk crap to the employees cause they are uneducated employees. well anyways, i met a cool dude whos in to herps and he knows his stuff pretty well. kinda surprising for hell paso. well anyways i was like dude im not paying 259 for the albino burm they had. he was like well i can hook you up with anything here besides the burm cause the managers watching that one. So i saw 2 leopard geckos. they were adults. one is white and the other is that yellowish with like a purple band and green......... pretty much a rainbow. well anyways they had them listed at 79.99 each. i told him, think you can knock that price off a little for me. he said throw a number at me. i said i dont know, i always wanted one though. he said............40..... i said okay so which one. he said ill sell you both for 40. i was like OMG! so my wife was down at the other end of the mall getting a haircut and this to me was one of those, dont ask questions now, ask for forgivness later. i was like HELL YEAH! so he boxed em up and gave them to me for 40. i walked out the mall with a huge smile! 40 bucks for 2 adult Leos... even though i got smacked by wife, i still had the smile and do to this moment
As most know i have been carrying for a good amount of snakes already. i have done quite a bit of research already on them. of course first thing i did was mealworms, water and a hide and a temp gradient. i feel i know a good amount on my snakes, so i know this wont be hard.
i understand they come from the dry arid deserts and some out of the savannahs. they are nocturnal creatures and eat the basic feeder insects and occassionally a pinky.
my questions are, some say sand, alot of guide's say sand is okay. i just wanted to know why some of you prefer other then sand subtrates. what do you feel is best?
as with my snakes, i use red Infrared bulbs so i can view them at night. Is this okay with leos? i love their personalitys. not like a snake who just occassionally slithers around. these guys are so funny when they are "attacking mealworms". i would appreciate watching them with the lights out. i got basic husbandry correct, was just wondering on the bulbs really thanks alot!
