Hello everyone! Good to meet everyone. I am very glad I found this site as I have oh so many questions for everyone and so much to learn.
Firstly let me quickly explain how I became a Gecko owner (leopard Gecko). Someone I know bought this lil guy as a pet. This person lived with someone else (he rented out a room there) The guy then ended up moving and left the gecko behind. I would say he had only owned it himself for maybe 3 weeks before he moved. I remember seeing it when he bought it, it was a small little guy so Im guessing pretty young. However he did look fairly healthy. His tail was not hugely fat by any means, but it did have some gerth to it.
Now when he moved and left the Gecko behind over there I had no idea. The person he was renting the room from contacted me about 3 weeks after he was gone and informed me the gecko was still there and they had done nothing with it :-( so no feeding it, watering it, cleaning cage etc.. :-( So I rushed right over and picked it up. His tail no longer had any gerth to it, it was rather skinny obviously.
It took me a couple days to get it to start eating again (Meal worms) I have now had it for about two weeks and the lil guy is eating reguarly for me now, however still hasnt seemed to put a lot of gerth on. Especialy in the tail cause that part of him still remains rather skinny and it is my understanding that its suppose to be pretty fat. Maybe I am hoping for to much to quick? Maybe it takes a while?
I will post some pictures later to show the condition of the lil guy and to introduce him to everyone
Anyways I guess I have gone into a lot of detail for this an "introduction" post, but wanted to give a lil back ground.
I will post more of my questions and concerns etc it the proper forums...
I will close this post however by saying I am now HOOKED and have totaly fallen in love with this little guy and am already thinking about my next gecko lol.. But have much to learn before I take on anymore responsibilities of these wonderful little creatures
