march update (and pictures)

My oh my, how everyone has grown...

Atari is doing very well, she's packed on almost 5oz in the last 4 weeks. She was the most reluctant to snap out of 'winter slowdown' but once she did, she started eating RAVENOUSLY

Bean is our heaviest girl, and still as dark and gorgeous as ever.

Fresca has developed an astonishing amount of reddy-orange coloring in the last month or two, she's really starting to look pretty. I can't wait to see how much more she 'colors up' over time

Pixel is doing wonderfully, he's slowed down on the weight gain, and seems REALLY interested in watching the girls through the walls of his tub.

Pong is still our voluptuous little lady, and she unabashedly flirts with Pixel through the wall of her tub (they're shelfmates)

Sega is one of our newer rescues, she's cleaned up really well, and just came out of quarantine. She's a picky eater (only likes crickets) but she's still a BIG girl, and the longes of our leos

Squirt is our feisty girl... she's short and stubby, and hasn't grown lengthwise in a few weeks. I love her orange almost-spots

Tetris is our other new rescue, she's a TINY little thing and is still really timid. She's pickier than our other kids, and only eats crickets or mealies, so she isn't growing as fast as our superworm-eating leos. But I love her spots, and I'm hoping she develops more!

Vee is growing fastest of all... He was a tiny little baby in December, and now he's bigger than some of our adult females! He's the most voracious of all our leopard geckos, and easily puts away 6-7 superworms A DAY.

and last of all is Vegas, the 'mystery' leo... she's lightened up a lot as she's aged, but she still has a lot of that dark pigmentation, especially on her face and feet. She's definitely a giant, and is still pushing her energy towards growing longer instead of wider. She's another cricket-lover, and hates superworms

Wow! I love your leos....

Very very nice leos. The rescue on the bottom of the first is the only one that needs some work yet but the rest are great looking all have fattails.

If you mean Vegas, she's not a rescue. She eats about 14-18 large crickets a night, but she's still a 'teenager' and hasn't started filling out yet.

LeoLady420 Mar 15, 2007 01:06 PM

Yea that's the one!! haha....She has a very skinny tail. Just needs some fattening up that's all. The rest are all great looking.

She's a GIANT, and as you should know they stay 'lanky' longer than normal leos. She's growing and eating plenty. It's just going to take her a while to fill out

LeoLady420 Mar 16, 2007 08:06 AM

That's fine i was just saying the tail needs some fattening. You don't have to get all defensive. It's just very noticable and i always want the best for them, that's all. No heart feelings or anything. I think she is in good shape and i am sure she eats great for you.
