Intro to my Leos! ..... *Drum Roll*.......

[Mr. JoBangles]

As promised, here are some pics I took tonight of my leos. I got home, opened the fridge, got out the mealworms, put the worms in their dish, and they came running out of their hides yelling "Grub time!". lol. I grabbed my camera and went to shooting. BTW, I am shooting using my Nikon D40x DSLR. Love my camera.:main_yes:

Without further adue, meet Zebra and JoBangles. Zebra is the adult Normal Leo and Jobangles is the youngster but is growing quick. I have no clue what kind of Leo the young one is and would love it if you guys could tell me.

[gekko.gurl]

cute! I love the tangerine gecko's one of my fave morphs.

 

[Ehatcher]

Very nice

 

[GeckoGal]

There adorable!! the youngster looks like a tangerine to me
but I do have a few concerns-
1. I really recomend you change the substrate to reptile carpet, shelf liner, title, or something solid. sand can cause impaction, which in some cases is deadly. Not all, many people have kept there geckos on it with no problem but you rather be safe then sorry...right?

2. the little one looks to small to house with the older one. you woudn't want the bigger one to be bullying the little one!

3. do you know there sexes? you chould be aware of early breeding (not good or healthy for the geckos) or two males CAN'T be housed together!
sorry if you already know this imformation but I thought I should still let you know.

Other than the issues I mentioned above they look good! they sure are pretty!

Some nice shots.

 

[Mr. JoBangles]

Thanks everyone! Love my little guys.

Ditto what GeckoGal said. The little one should be separate until an adult. Right now the sizes might be ok... but also might not. At the least you should weight the little one every couple days to make sure he is gaining weight. There could be bullying which can result in stunted growth and MBD. Also- sand is especially bad for young geckos.

[Mr. JoBangles]

Thanks for the heads up and concern. I do plan to replace the sand I have currently in there with either the repti-carpet or tile asap. Although it looks nice i'd rather not take the chance in harming my lil ones. They have been housed together for about a month and a half now and seem to be the best of friends. I have never seen any kind of bullying being displayed by the adult. They sleep together and eat together and sometimes follow each other around. Jobangles seems to eat more than the big guy. lol. He was very tiny when I first got him and he's fattened up quite a bit since. The main thing that concerns me, is not knowing the sex of the lil one. The adult is a male. In my other thread a member informed me that if the lil one was a female, than there could be problems if it got preggo so young. I do have another tank that i can/will put him/her in if need be.

 

[Mr. JoBangles]

Also, i'd like to point out that I mainly feed them meal worms in a dish. Would this be safer than feeding them crickets? I figured it would being that when they strike for the crickets, they tend to ingest the sand too. I rarely feed them crickets. Thanks again. You guys and gals are great.

 

[Alusdra]

If your older one is a male, I would just go ahead and separate them now if you can. If male, the two of them will likely start fighting when the little one grows. If female, she could get pregnant or even just start laying duds, which can lead to being egg bound, not having enough nutrients for herself, etc.

Bullying in the case of geckos isn't attacking or anything, it's really just not letting the other eat enough. It's not the best word for it, I know.

 

[Ehatcher]

I really like the Tang.

 

[newbietoreptiles]

cool

 

[Mr. JoBangles]

So the lil guy is a "Tang" morph?
