Hi

Twin Twin, Gecko, Peaches 'n'Cream, Jazz, Smokey, Sprite, Squirt, Hideaway, Cresent Moon, Pitch, Tang, Cinder, Storm, Lady Love, Bullseye.

How's that for names?.

Take Care, TLB

i don't have pictures to show them off, but here are all my geckoes' names (in order of age & acquisition):

my first- basically normal, though she's a jungle & was a circle-back baby. her name is jeeves, or 'big mama jeeves' when she's being especially feisty.

my second- a shy little snow with a bit of an attitude, i got her from albey. her name is myrtle. she lives with jeeves in a 20L.

my third- the most vain, nutty little gecko i have, maybe i should have named her paris hilton. hehe. she is a hypo-ish snow (technically lower grade, but i still love her), with a suggestion of a stripe. her name is lucretia, after my favorite stripper, hehe. she lives (while she is still small) in her own 5-gallon. she'll move in with myrtle & jeeves when she's bigger.

i got the other four all in one batch (from geckoville), so, 4 through 7-

fourth is mew, the mellow one of the bunch. she is just adorable, and a total fat-cat. she's the only one that comes even close to jeeves in terms of audacity, lack of fear, and mellow-ness. she is the only 'banded,' non-jungle gecko i have, and i'm proud to have her. she is a light pastel, but she somehow has this merry little glow about her, she's always fun to watch.

fifth is veruca. she is a prissy little princess, i named her after the girl in willy wonka and the chocolate factory. unlike lucretia, though, she is a little less self-righteous in her attitude. it must come from having roomates. she is probably the gecko i have worth the most money. she surprised me, and has basically turned into a fully striped, almost pure white, snow. (no, i will never sell her, nor any of my bebes, hehe.)

sixth is caiman. caiman was a temp-sexed female, but surprised me when he popped a set of hemi-penes! so, once i was sure, he was moved to his own 5 gallon. he's been a little sullen ever since, but he's in general a very nice little fellow... poor guy. i think he's going through the equivalent of being a teenager right now. i named him caiman, because, when he was a baby, he looked amazingly like a little baby caiman, for a leopard gecko. he's a very bold stripe, with some lingering purples and a titch of yellow. he'll inherit the 10-gallon all to himself, when he's a bit bigger.

and seventh is pablo. pablo was the smallest of the bunch, and i was afraid to house her with the rest. at some point in grade school, the teacher looked up the meaning of our names in a some book, and a guy in my class was named pablo. she said it meant 'small,' so that memory is how pablo got her name. she (originally) lived in the 5-gallon caiman lives in now. she was very shy, and panicky whenever i even came near. i was afraid every time i had to lift her up, to clean her cage, i thought she would pop her tail! well, when caiman turned out to be a boy, she swapped to living with mew & veruca in the 10-gallon. well, when i put her in, i realized that she had grown to almost the size of mew! the presence of others has mellowed her out a lot, and now she'll sometimes bask outside of her hide! she has a striped tail, and a swirled body pattern. she's fairly bold in pattern, and has some lavendar, but no yellow.

so- there you go: jeeves, myrtle, lucretia, mew, veruca, caiman, and pablo. my naming strategy is to wait until i really feel like the name is right. i waited weeks before i was sure of some of their names. i wanted to get to know their personalities. also, i'm not particular about picking names that are 'gender suitable,' or whatever you'd call it. i feel like, if it suits them, what does it matter?

when the time is right, i'm going to pursue a striped snow breeding project, but i'm not in a rush. also, they've grown since i've had them, and the time has come to upgrade them to larger enclosures- i love reptile shopping, hehe.
