Just thought I'd post some of the pics I took of one of my 3 girls I adopted at the end of November. This is the biggest of the 3 (though they're all generally the same size, she just looks the biggest/heaviest) and the most friendly of the 3 so far. She's the only one who will let me hold her, though the middle sized girl has calmed down quite a bit too, just not enough for handling yet.
Sadly, the smallest girl isn't doing too well... She hasn't eaten any of the 3 different feeders I've offered, nor has she even taken any waxworms that the other two go nuts for. I've resorted to hand feeding her the "gecko soup" via an eye dropper. I'm not quite sure if she'll pull through but I'll keep on trying. Good news is that she has been putting up more of a fight since being fed the soup, she used to be much more sluggish.
Anyway on a much happier note, here's a few pics of the big girl (who weighs in at 80.3 g).
Crawled into my open purse and hid for a few minutes. Hm, maybe she's a gecko pick pocketer :main_laugh:
You can tell she loves her food. Will try to eat anything that moves, even eyes up my fingers sometimes during cage cleanings XD
It seems all my geckos like to climb straight up my shirt when I hold them :main_rolleyes:
Sitting on my shoulder
Stealing body heat
Thinking about naming her Lumi but not sure yet. It takes me forever to name my geckos XD Wanted a blizzard named Lumi but I think it'll be a decent fit for a mack snow. Also debating between naming the middle sized girl either Selene or Aurora. Afraid to give the smallest girl a name in case she doesn't make it...
Anyway, thanks for looking
