Gecko mania - I blame Lyndsy and Dawn! LOL

fishoholic · #1 10-01-2012, 04:39 AM

So I was at the AI BBQ on Sat. and Dawn's daughter had a little crested gecko with her (they just came from the reptile show) and it was the cutest thing so I then started asking them about them. As we were talking Lyndsy came by and I learned that she has a bunch of them. So then I did a bunch of reading about how to take of them. Looked into costs etc. checked kijiji for deals. I asked about an ad for a terrarium I saw and Dawn found a way better deal in another ad. Lucky for me the terrarium was still available and I picked it up. Talked to Lyndsy at the reptile show (FYI it's a really good show) and got a crested gecko from her

Here's my terrarium

gecko house

and here is my gecko in his critter container that he was in for the ride home. I've named him (could be a her, can't tell yet) Reese.

Please post pic's of your lizards if you have one, it would be cool to see what everyone has

Cresties are wonderful little critters.

My bestie breeds Cresties, Leeftails, and Poor Man's Leachies. The cresties are my favourite. They tend to be the most social and predictable, and they're the easiest to care for.

She's also got two tegus, which are wildy cool, a couple of boas, a couple of pythons, and a corn snake.

I don't have any photos on my phone, or I'd share. I was sure I had a photo of Rita (her Argentine Black and White Tegu). I can't find it.

Absolutely! All reptile pic's welcome, just no spider pic's as spiders freak me out

Oh, here's Damien with an egg stuck on his face.

Damien is a red Tegu. He's around 3.5 feet. Rita (her other Tegu) is quite a bit larger.

Damien is an ovo-vegetarian. He only eats veggies and eggs, while her other Tegu is very much a live meat eater (to the tune of two mice a day).

Here is Angus, my White's Tree Frog, also know as the 'Dumpy' frog. They can get quite overweight when older, hence the name. Angus is still pretty small, but seems to enjoy being held
