OMG! I'm getting my gecko in less than a month! :O

[LeoGirl1999]

I'm SOOOOO excited! I am getting my gecko in less than a month! How cool is that? I've researched for a year and a half, and the time has finally come!

There is a local reptile seller (with extremely good quality geckos, snakes, bearded dragons, etc...) near me and they say they can get me pretty much any morph I want. Now, I'm not an expert on morphs, but I would love to get a Las Vegas Albino Mack Snow Eclipse. ^-^ That's probably not the order in which it's actually listed, but it sounds right.

I have everything, and I just have to wait till after band camp (which is in less than a week!) :O

Congrats

Cool, post pics of it when you get it

 

[LeoGirl1999]

Mkay! I surely will! I can't wait another minute! I've been going crazy about it for like a week. xD

Congrats!!! just wait till you have the little bugger in your hands looking at you with those big beautiful innocent eyes!!! GAHHH! :smitten::smitten::smitten:

If I get it right then it's a Mack Snow Typhoon you're looking for, good choice
It's nice that you waited that much to prepare for your little treasure, post pics when you get it.

Congrats and good on ya for doing alot of RESEARCH before you got the little guy !!!

Haha I'm a freak when it comes to researching. And a Mack Snow Typhoon is probably what it is called ^-^ It sounds right, at least. I've held leos at PetSmart and they curled up in my hands. ADORABLE!

I don't know why I chose to go to PetSmart... The one near me is EVIL to its animals. The leos are in like a five gallon (tall) terrarium. To make it worse, they put like ten babies in there. :O It makes me so sad :'( BUT! I'm not getting my gecko there. Oh, no! I don't feel like supporting the cruelty at our local store.

There is one thing I couldn't find (I've read like ten books, 45 caresheets, and tons more of info on the internet.) I searched it on Google and kept on getting mixed answers. What happens when a gecko dies? I read that they sorta decompose in a way, but I wanted to make sure that was right. Help? Lol CONFUSED.

Hmm..Thats an odd question for someone who is getting a leo.

Roger: Sorry, I know... I don't expect it to die. I was wondering because I was taking a quiz online and it said something about it. Quiz: http://www.quizmoz.com/quizzes/Animal-Quizzes/g/Gecko-Quiz.asp I believe it is question #2.

Mkay thanks! That question on the quiz just confused me, and I was sorta afraid to ask about it because I thought that maybe an arguement might occur. Thank goodness it didn't!

hahahahahha really...

 

[LeoGirl1999]

I agree that my question was odd but if you look at the quiz it talked about it and it made me curious.

Mind describing your set up?

 

[LeoGirl1999]

Mind describing your set up?

Sure. It's pretty simple. Ten gal, screen cover, uth, two hides [1 warm, 1 moist] water bowl, repti-carpet. I have more stuff but I can't think of it at the moment. I'm on my 3DS right now, so it's hard to type. The set-up isn't actually set up yet. I'm setting it up next week. I'll post some pics once it is. Oh! I have thermometers too.

You might have problems with little toes getting stuck on repti-carpet. I use vinyl tile and its awesome. You didn't mention a calcium bowl, but it would be a good idea. And also a light dimmer to control the uth will be helpful. Getting everything set-up a few weeks before is a great idea so you can monitor the temperatures.

Thank you! That's what I forgot to mention; my calcium dish! Lol. Where do I find a light dimmer? I don't think they have any at our local pet store. Maybe they do. I know that I needed one, I just couldn't find it in town. About how much do you suppose they cost?

 

[nater]

Seconded on replacing the reptile carpet.
