Very awesome From skinny to plump and healthy!

My gecko is very close in size to the very first picture (I bought her last weekend) but she's eating about 10 crickets a day now so she'll grow very, very quickly.

I can't believe Pixel grew that much in just 6 months :D

Lookin' great! That cricket is huge!

S/he is so beautiful how big are the crickets its chomping down? Meds? or Lgs?

He eats adult crickets... I have to have crix on hand for my AFT, but I hate to see them die off before they get eaten, so I'll throw a few in to the leos... my leos' staple are superworms.

Maybe she`ll breed one day, she is a beautiful albino? If im right she looks like a bell albino?

HE is a mystery albino. I doubt his original owners knew what line he descended from, and since he'll never breed, it doesn't really matter much to me.

He's my pretty little boy, and the very first rescue that I ever brought into my heart and home...

How many supers will your geckos eat a day? My boy's feeding response seems to have dropped a bit, he'll only take one every other day.

My geckos' appetites drop off VERY sharply once they reach late adolescence... Pixel used to inhale a dozen crickets and 4-5 supers a night, but now he'll eat one or two a night, tops. He's still packing on weight, but he just doesn't need as much food, because he's not growing as fast...
