Indy Pickup

[Jaiden23]

Here is the beautiful little sunglow I picked up at the Midwest Reptile Show in Indy over the weekend.
I purchased her from Shawn Aubrey at Aubrey's Reptiles :main_thumbsup:

These pictures do not do her justice... she is just amazing in person, a bit spastic but she seems to be a fast learner.

I'm fairly certain that I'm going to name her Aurora... what do you guys think?

The day of the show just happened to be the same day of the massive wind storm that blew through my area. Had I known it was going to be such a bad storm, I would have held off bringing this girl home... We were without power until early Monday morning, we sustained alot of damage to our roof, lost several trees, and whatever we had sitting on the back porch is now long gone. I wasn't quite sure that we were going to make it home Sunday, as there was a great deal of rather large debris flying across the interstate... but despite the hetic arrival, this girl has done great and is already eating for me.

I had been in the process of purchasing another stunning sunglow from OG Geckos, but unfortunately I had to put it on standby, at least until everything stablizes here. We are one of the few neighborhoods with power right now, and it's very iffy as to whether or not our power is going to stay on.

I really feel for you guys close to the Gulf Coast... if Ike was able to hit us this hard all the way in Indiana... I hate to think of how bad things are down there. Stay safe.

How was the Indy show. lots of leos there?? I was thinking about going myself.

 

[Jaiden23]

Thanks, Amber, Aurora it is then

Tim, the Indy show was packed... it was very difficult to move between the booths, but overall it was a good show. There were about 5 vendors selling leopard geckos, although 3 of those 5 were only offering 4 or 5 leos. Aubrey was definately the largest leo vender there. The show was mainly overrun by snakes, beardies and skinks :main_laugh:

I like the name Aurora too

Glad to hear that you made it home safely and that things are going okay with your new addition :main_yes:

She is beautiful

Thanks

Aurora has some serious spunk, it will be interesting to see how her personality develops as she settles in.

Great minds think alike :main_laugh:
Aurora is actually my hometown, but it seemed to fit her so well that it just kinda stuck

Cool eyes for a sunglow!

Thanks! She has traditional Tremper eyes normally, but when they are dilated they look solid orange/red. She's an interesting little monster :main_laugh:
