my new crested gecko :) -with pics-

[ZEKE]

i realized that i had put this in the wrong forum so i decided i should put it in here because thats where its supposed to be. sorry for the multi post.



i got a crested gecko yesterday morning from dirtystinkystuff. i have only gotten a few pics so far but i will get more this weekend. here is what i have so far. what do you think?


this is the pic that David from dirtystinkystuff sent me in the email so i could see what it looked like.

here its tank. i have put a food and water dish in since these pics.

here it is when i first got it. the flash kinda glared off everything but i like the way the pic looks.

here he is curled up in the leaves where he slept all day the first day.

i think these little guys are addicting lol. i have only had him for one full day and i already want to get another

[LadyGecko]

Great new little guy! Ive had mine for 4 days now and im HOOKED.

 

[ZEKE]

thanks everyone! yeah his colors are amazing. this is my first gecko so i wouldnt know how addicting the others are lol. but now i see why most people have allot of them

 

[ZEKE]

here is another pic of him/her that i just got last night. there will be more pics on the way when i feed him/her tomorow.

 

[David Loftin]

Wow. In that last picture the geckos looks really colored up. I am glad to see that it has settled in well with you Aaron. Keep the pictures coming!

David :main_rolleyes: what have we told you about photo-shopping those pictures?

I keep forgetting about that. Sorry. :main_laugh:

 

[ZEKE]

thanks David! ill have lots of feeding pics friday. what time of the day should i feed?

I agree about tham being addicting. I got a call Saturday from our "bug" lady and she had something for me. It was a 2 year old male crestie. I can't wait to get a girl. Yours is beautiful. The lady called smeagle a buckskin?!? Not sure if that is correct. I am just now getting the leopard morphs down and here I go and start on another type gecko. They are so cute!!!!!

 

[ZEKE]

lol yeah they are!

i still need a name for him/her

so far i am thinking:

Rafiki: it means friend in Swahili
Zazu: i just like the name
Sarabi: mirage in Swahili
Mufasa: i like the name

(yes i love the movie Lion King lol)

 

[David Loftin]

I would try feeding the gecko in the evening or night.

Naming animals is a hard thing to do. We are really not good at it.

 

[ZEKE]

okay. thats what i was thinkin. i turn the lights out around 8:30 but i stay up till like midnight. i figured i would feed around the time i turn out lights.

i think i have decided on the name Zazu. i like the way it sounds.

 

[Bodon]

i got two on sunday and one only of them has a name now, which was picked out even before i got it, my other little guy just has to wait around for me to come up with something. Its so much harder when you dont know if they are male or female isnt it??

 

[ZEKE]

yeah it is! if i knew what it was it be so much easier. i think i am going with the name Zazu but it could still change lol

 

[ZEKE]

i just fed him. i never knew how fast they were! he is a good jumper too.

after him trying to escape while on my bed i moved him back to his cage and put some CGD on a leaf. he eventually ate 1/3 of what i made for him. i used a 1/4tsp measure spoon and used 1 scoop of diet and 2 of water.

here are some pics. i didnt get any of him eating because i didnt have my cam with me. i got some of him running around afterwards tho.

 

[David Loftin]

Glad he ate right off the bat for you.

 

[ZEKE]

yep he ate good he really liked the CGD. he was lapping it off the leaf like crazy. do you ever flavor it for yours? how do you go about doing that?
