This is Bubu, he's the first leo I have. He is 2.5 yrs old, eats 15 mealies every second day, now weighs 81g. He likes to be held too:

This is Whitie, I think she may be a 'high temperature' female, she had almost biten all others before, male or female, when she was a juvenile. She is 2 yrs old and eats 18-20 mealworms every other day; she is on a diet now, I'll only give her 10 mealies per feeding. She's 83g:

This is Marly. I thought he was a female when I got him, so I named him Marly. This one loves posing for the camera, I think his pictures take up to 25% of my disc space. Marly is 2 yrs old, weighs 83g (he was 94g before he had parasites, now cleared), eats about 12 mealies per feeding (every second day):

This is Gel; I also thought he was a female when I got him, he used to be called Angelica, but changed to Gel once discovered that he's a male...Gel is 2 yrs old, weighs 83g also, sometimes he can eat up to 24 mealies in a feeding, but he'll stop eating one week prior to its shed. He makes a lot of noises too, often making a 'beep' sound when he wakes up in the evening:

This is Bambi. She was almost an adult when I got her from a friend. She never ate much since I got her in 2002, my friend said she'll only eat 1 or 2 crickets every 5 days. She's on medicine now and I just fed her a total of 1.4ml of baby food in the past 2 days. Bambi is almost 3 yrs old, weighs only 50g (was 64g before she had parasites, now cleared):

This is Dingding, he died in May. I love him and he'll always be in my heart:

This is Nana, a patternless female. I thought she was going to die when Dingding left, because I got them both from the same reptile shop; and she has stopped eating at the time. Anyway, got the problems fixed, but I think she may have stunted her growth, she stayed in the 40g range for almost 1/2 yr. She greatly increased her appetite after the deworming, she's now 58g, 1 yr old:

This is Gut-le-Gut (chinese name), I got him in May (1 week prior to Dingding's death). He was sold as a normal/high yellow for $20; but he's getting more orange every time he sheds, I really look forward to how he'll turn out when he grows up. He is now 3 months old, and eats like a little piggy - 35 mealworms every second day. He now weighs 30g:
