Brand new leo owner

[Leonardo]

I got a baby 2 or 3 month old snow leopard gecko about 4 weeks ago. Her name is Leonardo, Lenny for short.
She's a sweetie.
Here are some pics:

Day 1

Her tail was dehydrated but that didn't keep her from being so curious.

Almost 4 weeks later
Look how she's filled out and settled into her new home

Hope you enjoy her as much as I do.

Man! You're starting out with a snow? I'm jealous. I've got 4 & still drool over the snows every time I see 'em. Lenny is very cute.

Thanks everybody! Yeah, I didn't know what kind she was when I bought her at the pet store. She was in a cage with a couple tremper albinos and she was $5 cheaper and the calmest one out of the bunch so I got her. Later I was told that she was a snow, I had figured she was just a normal or something since she wasn't an albino like the others and was thrilled to find out she was a snow!

I didn't know much about leos when I got her, sort of a spur of the moment deal. I know that's a bad idea but she was such a sweetie in the pet shop and I couldn't help myself and I knew I had an old aquarium I got up at college for fish that I brought home with me (who have all since died) and I figured she could put it to good use.

She sure is a cutie! You're doing a great job with her!

Nice looking snow. It seems the obsession begins with a simple impulse buy for alot of us,LOL. Beware very few people seem to have the will power to keep it at just one. Again, great looking little girl, best wishes.

Yeah, I've already been tempted to get another one at the store. But its more expensive and doesn't look to be in that great of health unfortunately. I know the owner of the store and its not that he doesn't take good care of his animals, but it seems that poor little gecko just has a hard time.
