I got my first Leo!!!!!!!

[stephanieluffsu]

Hey everyone!! Well today, the roads weren't too terrible and I went to petsmart and got my first leopard gecko!!!!
I don't know if it's a he or a she, so it's still unnamed at this moment.
pics:

Could anyone possibly tell me if he's a normal, or a morph? Because I have no idea.

Cute

Thanks! I just moved him/her to my ten gallon, because I thought the 35 gallon is a bit to big for him/her while their still a juvenile.
and so heres pics of the 10 gal.

and a few pics of him/her sleeping:

Thats how my houses were! The deli cups from petsmart! I just went and bought a coconut hide and a "castle crib hide" with the water dish attached to it!

Cute leo!

I figured why not use it to my *ahem* her advantage. hehe.
and thanks!

Looks like she/he is cozy in there new home! Your setup looks good warmside hide and coolside hide for body tempeture regulation. Heating from under with a heating pad is the way to go, no replacement bulbs over time. I keep a damp hide with paper towels just into the cooler side for sheding. Just make sure everything is in place they will dig and move around decor in the tank. You dont want anything that can be knocked over and hurt your baby. Congrats on your new fella woot!

You did your homework thats forsure! You got a great example of a good setup for any future leopard gecko buyers. Keep the pictures comming as they grow, its amazing what some of them look like as they get older. Always for the best!

All i've been donig is reading lately lol. right now i'm just getting into the swing of things, but by next feb. i might have 2 geckos, and try to breed. I'm not sure yet, but it's an exciting idea!

 

[stephanieluffsu]

I found out today that he is really hand-tame! And yes he is a he I need to name him.
heres some more pics i took today.:

 

[Sunset]

He's cute! Glad to see he's healthy and everything ^^.

 

[GeckosEcko]

He looks kinda like a Jungle to me with that tale.... Pattern isnt really broken up and squirly all that much but deffinately possibility. Congrats on him! Gotta name for him yet?

 

[stephanieluffsu]

nope no name yet. I'm still trying to decide! Theres just too many names lol.
He's really hand tame. When he wants to be. xD
@ Sunset: yeah he looked healthy to me at the petstore, lol. Thats one of the reasons i got him. Another is because of his color and pattern.

I work at petsmart and whenever our geckos come in their really skinny and it's so hard to get them back up to health. ): I wish the suppliers we got our leo's from paid more attention to them.

I think it should be illegal to get Leo's from anything but a breeder, because their usually in top health from the breeder.
