New Pictures of Nagini!

Here's some new pictures of Nagini, courtesy of my neighbor. She's a Hypo (Baldy?) Tangerine, and a sweetie. She needs to gain a little though! Thankfully, she eats like a champ! I'm planning on attending the New England Reptile Expo in October and I'm hoping to get a male and female to add to my little collection (of one). Maybe I'll introduce them in a larger tank and see if it works out, but if it doesn't - I've got an army of tanks and supplies in my house. I just can't say no to more leos!

awesome leo! don't forget to quarantine your new geckos if/when you get them. also, be careful, in a year you might have 10 lol. theyre outrageously addicting!!!

Oh, Yeah! They're like potato chips.. really.. really good potato chips. Salt 'n Vinegar.. Potato Chips :main_laugh: Oh yeah, I have extra cages laying around everywhere, I don't know where half of them come from. Quarantine for 90 days, correct? Any other tips on introducing new ones? Apparently she lived with another female before (obviously the same size). So it will be interesting to see how it turns out. Do you recommend (after quarantine) introducing two together, and then gradually introduce the male? Or is a pair of females better? I've always had my leos in separate tanks, but it would be nice if I could get them to stay together. If not, that's okay too

haha, potato chips are a good analogy. 90 days is good for quarantine. and as far as introductions, i would clean everything thoroughly before putting them in together. this way, everything is new to both of them.

personally, i keep all of my geckos separate because i kept seeing bullying. but if you want to keep them together just keep a close eye one them. some people say that keeping a male with females year round exhausts the females because they breed too much with them. keeping 2 females with 1 male lessons the harassment on each female though. it definitely depends on each gecko though, its amazing how each personality is so different and some will get along with others and some won't. good luck!
