got a new leo (normal)

savigeckolvr Jan 25, 2004 03:04 PM

I actually got her last week from petsmart, but I wanted to let her get settled in a bit before bombarding her with flash photography (well I think its a she anyway, not sure yet). I named it Tiny. She is very inquisitive and more active than Geico, and also a bit feisty lol. She's feeding well on crickets (around 5 big ones a day!) and I've got some mealies and waxworms on order to help fatten her up some more. I made sure to get a name of a local vet who works with reptiles but she seems to be healthy thus far

Tiny absolutely loves her humid hide! I don't think she'd ever had one before.

Hey thanks for all the positive feedback. Hawk your Tiny is very cute too! Tiny was the only gecko in there for over a week, and the first time I saw her she looked real skinny. I felt sorry for her but didnt buy her that day. The next week I went back and she was still there but looked alot better. I think that the store may have recieved her in poor condition, but she is doing great and her tail has gotten more shape to it already in the past week. The employee had told me that she was eating like crazy so I ended up coming home with her. I'm such a softy but at least I did put some thought into it At least she will get the care she needs.
