I just about fell out of my chair laughing as I read this! My leo, Hali, is almost six months old now, and she goes through phases with her food, too. She loved her BSFL when I first got them for her. She would eat as many of those as I was willing to give her. Now, she'll grab one, chew on it...
This is Hali. She is now just shy of six months old, and the absolute love of my life (don't tell my cats!). I spoil her as much as possible, and she's developed quite a little personality. I have no idea what morph she is, though. I guess it really makes no difference to me. If she's as common...
Exactly! I've been talking to her and singing to her. I tell her that she's the most prettiful, beautimous girl in the whole wide world. lol I have more pictures of her on my phone than I do of anything else. We even celebrated International Reptile Awareness Day this week by giving her a wax...
My girl gets crickets, mealworms, dubia roaches, and nutrigrubs. I was told that it's best to give her a good variety, so I just sort of randomly choose what she gets for each meal.
What a cutie! I just got my first leopard gecko a few months ago, too. I went absolutely crazy over her right from the start, and she knows it! I never thought I could be so in love with a lizard. <3
This week, I learned that leopard geckos can, and DO, have gas. There I was, sitting beside Miss Hali's tank, just chatting with her. She started to wander over into the corner where I have recently placed a dish with some wet moss to help keep her humidity up, which also happens to be right by...
Hali does the same thing with her tail! I love it! I got the roaches and grubs from DubiaRoaches. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post their website here, but you can find it if you Google it just as I typed it, without a space between the two words.
I have no advice since I'm still in my first few months as a leopard gecko mom, but I did want to say that Jawa is a very pretty girl! I love how her whole body is yellow, and then her tail is all white. So cute!
The Lego hide! I LOVE it! I may potentially swipe your idea and make something like that for Hali. She loves to hunt, too, so this would be a great idea for her!
I've had my little leo girl for a couple of months now. She's still a baby and definitely has a healthy appetite! I don't like dealing with crickets because it seems like more than half of each batch that I buy ends up dead before I can feed them to her, and I was making trips to the pet store...
I heard that watching a leo drink is beyond adorable, but I thought that I would never catch Hali doing it. I've had her for a couple of months now, and she's still very shy. But then, a few nights ago, she was thirsty enough to start drinking right in front of me! I thought it might be nice to...
Gertrude is a great name! It makes me think of a sweet little old lady with big, long (possibly artificial) eyelashes that might have been in style in her younger days. lol She's too cute!
Hali is my first ever female anything. I have always had male cats, dogs, sugar gliders...everything. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to bond with her as well, but she quickly became my bestest, most favoritest baby girl in the whole wide world. ;) Have you named yours yet? I was thinking...
I am still learning to care for my baby leo, Hali. I've only had her for about a month and a half. I have seen a lot of information pages that say you should not feed them wax worms until they're older, and no more than once a week when you do. Hali is a garbage wagon and will eat whatever I put...
I will definitely continue singing to both of them. Of course, my sweet Hali, Miss Sassy Scales herself, now lets her eyes drift shut until I stop. Then, her eyes snap open, her head snaps up, and she gives me a very demanding smile until I do it a second, and maybe a third time. lol I have...
Do you sing to your gecko? I was sitting with my baby leo last week, just talking to her and enjoying the peace and quiet in the house. I couldn't think of anything else to say to her, so I started singing. Her name is Halo Golightly, so I sang Moon River, of course. ;) I noticed that she had...
