My brother's got a Tokay Gecko, Sid Vicious. He got him in January 2003.

I have a leopard Gecko, Kalypso, that I have had since August 2003.

I used to have a leustistic Leopard Gecko, Rocky, but he died.

My brother also used to have a leopard gecko, Spot, but Spot died about 1 month after Rocky.

I'm thinking about getting another leopard gecko sometime in the future. Maybe a girl that way I can keep her with Kalypso. But I'm going to wait for a reptile show to get one.

1.1 White Lined (Skunk) Geckos
1.0 Crested Gecko
5.2 Leopard geckos, though tomorrow I am trading 2 of my males for 2 females.

And Tarentola, question since you keep Skunk Geckos...do yours get skinny in the winter? I have a male and female and the male has been getting very skinny. I'm not sure what the problem is, as he was nice and plump before. I am concerned...I haven't seen him eat in awhile, though he could be since I feed him at night. I can't really force feed him as they are real squirrly as you know. The female isn't as skinny...any ideas?

Well, today the male looks fine. I don't know why yesterday he looked skin and bones. Weird. I'm gonna keep an eye on him.

My female laid 2 sets of eggs, one set in August and one in October. The first set hatched in November. One survived, the other died. The one that lived is still kicking and now lives with my fiance's brother. The other two eggs weren't good.

I think skunk geckos are some of the neatest geckos. Sorry to hear about your female. Hope those babies keep doing well.

Thanks, I think that if the animals are dehytrated they look like skin and bones. I put the babys in a small containers, the two containers are in a larger container that is filled with damp peat moss. I like the way I have the cage set-up b/c I put water in the peat moss and the humidity in the cage is 80 % and I put the water in 5 days ago. The humidity is 80% for them and the temp is 83 in the day and is 79 at night :D
