My new little one!

[artes]

Hello all! Just got Joker a few days ago, and finally got some pictures of him. He's a bit skinny, but is already starting to fatten up. He was getting picked on by the other geckos (I assume over his tail, which he was born with), so he wasn't eating as much as he should. He's starting to munch now, as you can see from the photos! I named him Joker because he has a smiley face on the top of his head, as you can see in the photos.

Without further ado:
Yummy!

That was good!

More?

His poor tail. Can he move it?

Good luck with him. He's very pretty.

That's a serious tail deformity. Where did you get him?

I got him from a pet store here that got him from a local breeder. As long as he does ok, I'm just assuming the tail gives him character. He's getting ready to shed, so I'm assuming that's a good sign.

He can move his tail, just not quite as impressively as a gecko with a regular tail. I actually have a cat with a tail that looks just like his too, weirdly enough. Probably why I fell in love with him.

Just keep an eye out for bullying. I'd give the "special one" his own setup. Is that a bent Visa credit card used as a hide?? :main_huh::laugh:

LMAO! No, the photos aren't in his cage. He was sitting on my computer desk, and that's an old expired card I just never threw out.

and that's an old expired card I just never threw out.

Yeah, I know, I just tried using it to buy a couple racks! Lol!! Just kiddddding!

Good luck. Expired or not, you assume there's actually money in that account. I'm unemployed with geckos. -_-
