My baby giant "Mylo"

[morphmom]

Mylo is a Tremper Albino Giant, purchased from the Urban Gecko. All the other babes had near perfect, symmetrical markings. Not Mylo. There he was looking like graffiti next to the others. I bought him minutes after he was posted and am madly in love with his calm, sweet nature:smitten:

(Just for fun, here's his big sister)


Mylo is 6 months/ 1 week and 2 days old and weighs 53.6 grams as of last night.

He's beautiful. Is that a miniature rug in the middle of his enclosure? His enclosure is very interesting. It looks like you make a lot of stuff yourself?

I have a gecko of unknown genetics, but he is huge! He is just over a year old and is 11 inches long and at last weigh in was 116 grams. He is a tremper albino. He is super mellow and sweet as well. Enjoy him.

Thank you very much lisa127! I do make a lot of things for both my babes. Here's the link to the humid hides I'm working on http://geckoforums.net/f173-do-yourself/95318.htm The rug is an actual silk embroidered rug used in high end doll houses. By the time I'm done, he'll have a winter wonderland to be proud of!
-116 grams! My goodness! That is huge! It seems Trempers just get big and act calm. I'm really happy with my choice and just wish I knew about geckos sooner.
-I'd love it if you had a link to your not so little guy!

That's a great looking gecko! Also love the habitat!

 

[morphmom]

Thank you very much ebuch! He's an absolute joy. And thank you on the habitat. I work very, very hard on my viv's. His sister Myah has spring time in the forest. One day, I hope to have all 4 seasons. I can dream...

Awesome leo! I love the TUG giants, great enclosure too, great decor

 

[lisa127]

I think I'm going to look at doll house stuff. It's not the first time I've seen it, and everytime I see it I think it's adorable. Anyway, here are some pics of my Bert that I took just now. The pics aren't the best as they are taken on a crappy phone, but here goes:




Please excuse my enclosure. Bert grew so big so fast that he outgrew his hides. I put that empty hot cocoa box in as a quick fix and he fell in love with it.

He's gorgeous! I would love a Giant Leo one day!
Two of my AFTs are from the Urban Gecko and they are awsome. Only issue I have is that they seem not to have been handled much because they hiss and lunge whenever I put my hand near them, they're getting better though.
I was actually thinking about getting one of the Tremper Albino Giants before I got my two AFTs but I decided not to.

He's so big! I want to work with Giants/Super Giants someday. They add a fun aspect to the collection. I died when I saw the little rug! It's adorable!

 

[morphmom]

Oh my! Thank you all for the compliments! :blush:
Graymatter= Oh! Are you in Canada too!?
lisa127= How beautiful! I just love the colors! And yes, I love the little apartment idea. I was very torn about that, the seasons, and even Halloween! LOL!
KTyne= I love AFT's as well. I think most Trempers are just plain easy going. I went with a giant as I'm use to my much bigger bearded dragon. Who's actually very light and petite. only 430 grams. I shall have a huge gecko and a little bearded dragon! LOL!:main_laugh:
LepoInc= I really love the size of the giants. The rug only cost me about $7 shipped from ebay! LOL! http://stores.ebay.ca/Gigacookies/_i.html?_fsub=14%22
I think I'll cover the back with Mod Podge though, so it doesn't fray.

My local craft store is right up the street from me. I think I'm going to take a look there. I love it!!

OP, my other lizard is a blue tongued skink that is 2 feet long and fat. So I'm used to a heftier lizard as well.

lisa127= A BTS!? Oh, my gosh! I just love them! I didn't know if I wanted a BD or a BTS! Myah just kinnda fell into my lap but the BTS is definitely on my list!

I've had mine for 13.5 years, and he was a full grown adult when I got him. So he is old now. Very easy lizards to care for, and very hardy healthwise! I highly recommend them. One of the easiest lizards to maintain IMO.
Here is Bubba;

Bubba is just awesome! There's a baby BTS in the local shop, I swear! If I didn't have so much going on, he'd be home with me!

Here's a few more photo's of my Mylo:

So what's the current stats on your Giant? Age, length and weight?

 

[morphmom]

-Well, he'll be 7 months old on the 9th of this month. He weighed in at 54.7 grams on July 3rd and I estimate him to be about 8 inches long. Perhaps I'll get an exact length tonight
-I had to giggle at your avatar. Really cute!

 

[morphmom]

Ok, seems my guess-timate was pretty close. Mylo is 8 3/4 inches long

 

[xboxmember1978]

That's cool! I just got my second Super Giant from Ron Tremper delivered today. He is 10 months old and 11 1/8th long and 98 grams!

 

[morphmom]

Holy smokes! That's gonna be one big boy! I'm in Canada, so Giants/super giants are limited. When it comes to Leo's tho, I just love em' sizable!
