Pics of my New Leos and Fat Tail

Lyn Feb 21, 2004 08:44 PM

I picked up 3 new Geckos this week - a pair of Leos on Wednesday and my first Fat Tail today. Here are some pics...

My new female Leo "Twister"

I named her "Twister" because I thought the right mark on her head looked kinda like a tornado (your right, her left)

My new male Leo, "Teddy"

I named him "Teddy" the first time I picked him up. It just hit me out of the blue, then stuck. He is super sweet like a Teddy Bear.

Twister was hatched last June, Teddy was hatched last April. Originally from a breeder named Bobby Pruit (I might be spelling that wrong) then owned by a friend of mine who is downsizing and agreed to let me adopt them. They seem to have settled in nicely and are eating good.

I also adopted my first Fat Tail Gecko. He's approx 9 years old with a regrown tail. Has some toe tips missing from previous problems shedding, and he has some minor scars from a bout with mouth rot. But he's healthy now and is very friendly. His name is "Gex", he came with that name so I'm leaving it. I just love this guy to pieces.

Poor guy didn't like the flashing in his face...

Hope you liked the pics!

Congrat's , I just bought 2 females this week ( one very light high yellow , & a tangerine carrot tail ) the hy name is little bit and the tangerine's name is tang . I went to look at them for breeding , but tang has had a bad bout with mbd . The boy that had her was firm on having $100 for her because he thought the effects of mbd would go away but they wont . I normaly wouldnt have touched her but my wife fell in love with her so now she has her own 10 gal in the living room .Little bit cheacked out good enough to breed so she is in my reptile room doing good and now I wouldnt trade tang for a million helthy geckos . lol
Best of luck Brian

Nice Geckos!
