Hi!

Two weeks ago we got our very first leo's and then yesterday we got our very first beardies. I am loving them so much!

This is my daughter's Gecko. She goes by two names, Pinky and Sweetie. I don't know enough about geckos yet to identify what type she is other than to know that she is an albino. This one is a feisty little guy/gal. We're hoping she'll warm up to handling over time.

This is my gecko. Her two names are Brain and Pretty. She is just sooo pretty. I have no idea what type of Leo she is, but she is just so pretty. I need to take better pictures because her variety of colors is so awesome.

These are our Beardies. The one that is a sweet golden color is my son's Beardie and his/her name is Artemis. Mine is the other one and I haven't named him/her yet. They are precious and I adore them!

I guesstimate the Beardies to be 8-10 weeks old and am working on putting together a second habitat so that I can separate them. So, they're together at the moment, but we intend for that to be very short term. :)

I'm not sure of the geckos age. I'm going to measure them tomorrow and compare them to size charts, etc and see if I can get a quick estimation. None of the lizards have shed yet, but I feel like the geckos are getting paler and are heading that direction.

I have one concern, I feel like my gecko's tail is super skinny. The albino's tail is getting a little bit more plump, but I don't think Pretty's is. Should I be worried? Again, I'll take better pictures and put them on here. Sorry, these I just happened to have on my phone and none of them are fantastic.

I love my little lizards. We're working hard to learn all the ins and outs of good care so that we can spoil them with an awesome environment and life. :)

Nice collection of reptiles! Cool geckos and beardies. As for the tail, they could be more plump, but it's hard to tell from the picture if they are considered skinny. You could try tracking the gecko's weight, and see if the gecko is losing weight or not. That's always a good way to tell if your gecko is healthy or if there's something wrong with the gecko. Rapid weight loss is a sign of parasites or illness.
