Well, I just sold my first gecko! I have now breed, hatch, raised, and sold a gecko...so I suppose I can start considering myself a (super small time) breeder now! LOL I'm happy because it's an accomplishment in a way, and Eric will be happy to see a bit of money come IN instead of pour out for once. At the same time, I'm a bit sad to see him go. Here's the last photo of him....adios little guy!

I've officially decided to keep my first hatchling, so now I need a name for him....ah ha! He's been #001 up until now, so I'll just start calling him Neo. :main_thumbsup: I don't know that he'll ever get that tang I'm hoping for, but he is nice and lemon yellow like his momma. He's doing great...just over a month old and 17g. :main_thumbsup:

I've got an update on the guy with MBD...it's MBD for sure now. The calcium treatments are helping him a good deal. His arm is firming up and he's not rolling on the hand anymore. However, his jaw is still very squishy, so he's got a long way to go. He's eating better now, and gaining weight at a rate I'm much more comfortable with. He's almost doubled his weight in the last 2 weeks...going from a 0.5g per week gain to a 2 - 3g gain per week. He'll be staying with me because of his metabolic problems. At least here, I know he'll be doing the best he can. He needs a name too, but I'll have to think on it for awhile.

I've meant to ask you Marcia...

The blister-like bubbles under the armpit are lymphatic fluid from an excess of calcium, right? Over the last week, the MBD guy has developed one on one side. If it is from the calcium, at least I know he's getting enough. Now I just have to get the bones to strenghten, which I imagine will take a bit of time.
