Hi, you asked how i know my guys are growing even though i see them everyday. Well the main way is their size in relation to their tank. When i first got my group the 15 gal tanks that Nala and Bronx have seemed huge.......now though there isn't as much room as before.

I would love a Dodge Durango.....i've always wanted one although i don't like the look of the new one.

I'm kinda dreading going to the doc tomorrow. If there was horrible news they most likely would have called me to get me in sooner but then again, if they find nothing i still have a pain with no explaination.

Either way i'll be fine. My family can't really handle any more bad news right now.......things have been really bad, like we have a black cloud over us. I'm doing everything i can to keep everyones spirits up.

I've got a ton of work to do with my guys before i get more pics up, but i'll get them here as soon as i can

Hello!

Sorry I didn't get this sooner - i've been studying for finals :x with my leo's size in relation to the tank - i still really can't tell.. lol i guess it's coz i'm still new to keeping them. on thanksgiving, my relatives that saw her the day i got her were saying that she got fatter and looks bigger (which is good news to me!) - so i guess i'll notice it the more she ages

I always wanted a 1992 black nissan pathfinder - i don't know why... i just kinda like it the newer models are alright, but similar to what you thing - i like the older looks better

How was your visit to the doctor? I hope everything went alright.. I wonder what that pain is... i'm majoring in nursing and am in my 2nd year... so i'm not as advanced yet - i have no clue about anything except for microbiology, anatomy, and some physio... hehe I just hope all is well.

As for your family.. it seems like you'll need to spend more time with them instead of your little guys - i know you love em and they help take away some pain when you see / play with them - but it'll be a lot better when your family pulls through that's just my take on it. And the black cloud... that was the past year for me... nothing seemed to go right... but that's a diff. story :x

i hope you're doing better and can't wait to hear back to see how things are going!

Hi,

Every time my family see my geckos they are amazed at how much they have grown. They don't get to see them often cause i don't take them out much at least not lately. I do notice how fat their tails are getting and with Dot i've noticed that she doesn't fit inside her one hide very well anymore.

The test results still weren't in yet, so no news is good news or so they say. If it was something really bad they would have called my doctor....so i'm not to worried. Just confused, why i would have such horrible pain with no explaination. My doc is worried that with the death and my lack of sleep, not eating well etc. that i'm most likely depressed. No DUH! LOL, after all this is a huge loss. He wants to see me in 4 weeks to see how i am. I think losing anything/one family friends pets.....it takes a while for the grief to subside. Sometimes its a life altering thing and your just never the same. Either way we all get through it and i will too

I didn't actually get the guys changed over to the new tanks today....i had to help my brother move a ton of furniture.......i'm so sore LOL. I'll be up the rest of the evening setting up the tanks. I'm going to let the UTH sit overnight so i can test the temps Once i get this room set up the way i want i'll be so happy.....that is if i can stop changing my mind LOL. I'm so bad for that. At least these two geckos will be happier

they notice the growth more in your leos because they hardly see them.. hehe same goes with my family. personally, i'm like - well, she is 7 or 8 months old now... and i got her when she was 5 months! i'm still new - i'm actually kind of worried because her urates keep changing! 2 days in a row, she had broken up urates... then she had a whole yellow urate... then a regular white urate in one whole piece, and then last night it was a whole tan urate that's a lot lighter than the poop. i'm hoping tonight she'll give me a white one tonight... i really hope nothing is wrong with her :x

i'd say no news is bad news because it keeps you anxious and worried the whole time you wait and maybe the loss, stress, the BIG MOVE with your bro, and lack of sleep gave you the pain... maybe it's just... your muscles are stiff at your side because you pulled it carrying a whole couch and love seat at the same time on your own? maybe... i hope it's just sprained and nothing too serious glad to hear you're still doin great

Poop........lol, i deal with it at work and at home. You can tell alot about health from poop. Seems thats all we ever talk about sometimes on here and where i work LMAO. TO funny. From what you said i wouldn't worry...i know that my Boo has different poops than say Lily but its not such a drastic difference that it worries me. He eats alot more than her and unlike a few of my other geckos he eats all of his shed skin which makes poop look really weird.

I'm not so worried now about my pain....i was told that if the radiologist found something bad then my doc would be contacted immediately. Not having had any news i'm a bit more at ease than i was waiting to see the doc. The pain comes and goes in attacks and i haven't been able to find any similarities to when it happens ie. moving in a specific way, being constipated (again poop LOL) food i've eaten, anything. For the most part it hits in the mornings really bad and then aches the rest of the day.

I would love to pair up a few of my females, would save alot of room that way, but Dot eats non stop so even feeding her and Abby apart Dot would still take Abby's food. She a little pig LOL I'll no sooner feed her 20 mealies and shes looking at me for more. It would be cool to see them in a car driving around making the boys go nuts though hehehe
