My 1st leo!

[Greyscale_Geckos]

After the passing away of Takara (an albino hatchling I was looking to adopt from the shelter I work at) my boyfriend decided to look for a leo for me. Tonight (to my complete surprise) my boyfriend presented me with a picture and information on my new leopard gecko that I will be picking up at the PDX Metro Reptile Expo on January 26th.

I'm so happy that I can't even think straight enough to pick out a name for her. She is a SHTB (I'm not sure if carrot tail would apply considering how little she has in this picture) and of course a girl, at last weigh in she was 15 grams, and that was a bit back.

Her breeder is Chris Swanson of Cascade Herpetological! He is so nice and helpful and even helped my boyfriend pick between a lot of SHTs. He's even going to get me a lot of updated photos of this girl and weigh her.

Beautiful Hannah! If anyone deserves a leo it's you! Woohoo!

Thank you all for the wonderful comments! I'm really soooo excited and happy! I can hardly wait for January to come around. At the same time though I'm happy I can have time to prepare all of her supplies.

I'll definitely post her updated pictures when I get them!

He picked you out a very pretty leopard gecko. Congrats on your 1st of many more

Updated Photos:

As of 12/2/07 this girl is 30 grams and looks like the below. (Don't worry, she has all of her toes, they're just under the decorative sand the breeder uses for the pictures)

I really can't wait to pick her up at the show! Her tangerine color has really become more of an orange. Hopefully by that time I'll have a name for her...

Congrats, but beware... the addiction affects us all.

Congrats, but beware... the addiction affects us all.

I'm already beginning to experience that! I've already started to try hunting down a mack snow boyfriend for her in the future. Still, I couldn't be happier.
