Just wanted to introduce myself real quick. It certainly is refreshing to find a good community of people. I recently stumbled upon this site in search of information for gecko care.
Most of my life growing up I have been a dog person (always loved them, still do). I have recently fell into the veteran category with a few slight disabilities, which unfortunately makes for caring for a dog responsibly a little difficult (especially considering a more of a fan of the bigger dogs like Golden Retrievers/labs/etc.).
Long story short, my fiancé introduced me to the idea of caring for a gecko. I had the pleasure of caring for a leopard gecko during the weekends for a few months and found the experience very enjoyable.
This past weekend I made the decision to get a couple for myself. Searching through classifieds I made arrangements with two separate owners who no longer could care for their gecko's and picked up two this weekend. I ended up with a third baby gecko by surprise (fiancé's doing).
I did not know gecko's can get this big. In fact one of them is quite the monster (almost as big as my hand, and ridiculously strong, feels like almost pure muscle), probably at least 4-5 times bigger than the one I originally cared for during the weekends.
So now I have 3 tank setup's .... and my study room is a lot more live with activity.
I will post pics later when I get my camera back from my friend. Also, hopefully, maybe when I do that, someone can help me identify what kind of gecko's they are (leopard? fat tail? car insurance salesman?)
If you havent figured out by now, I tend to talk a lot...
