My other "babies"

Postby chickadee on Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:26 pm

My Crested gecko Willow has layed 2 clutches of eggs. The first two hatched and I wanted to share the cuteness! They are very tiny little guys. Crested Geckos are docile and just the sweetest little things! Sometimes when my female gets spooked she'll nip my boyfriend though, I would if a huge hand came flying at me too!!

We also have a snake and a 50 gal fish tank but those photos are on my laptop....which is broken.


These are my rescue kitties. I absolutely fell in love with them and I miss them so much. I cried my eyes out when they got adopted and even when people just inquired about them LOL. Anyways, Oreo is the name of the mommy. After the kittens were born and old enough to be without mommy for an hour, we brought her in to get tested for FELV and FIV....She was very skittish and ended up popping the door of her crate and escaped outside of the clinic. We posted signs and I would make trips throughout the day(the clinic is right down the street from my place) hoping to find her, but we never did. The kittens were in the process of being weaned and were 9 weeks at the time so they weren't too, too young. The sudden change did change them a bit though. Furthest to left in the upper corner laying on top of Oreo(mom) is Trooper. We named him trooper because he got kicked in the eye by the mom when she got spooked by my coughing. He got a pretty bad gash in it but can still kind of see out of the eye, he didn't need surgery and it healed well. The mostly black one is Daisy, she is so dainty and sweet. The middle one is Trouble, she was my wild child!, and last but not least, Mohawk....He had a mowhawk for the longest time after he came out lol. I'm going to post more photos on my DP profile so if you want to see more look there.

This is Mohawk. I just love him sooo much! He is insane and crazy. I used to cuddle him constantly and he would always sleep on my pillow. He'd wake me up in the morning by biting my face, clawing me too(I told you he was crazy!). Sometimes I would just be sitting there and he'd run up and swat me and run away and come back and swat me(he never had his claws out when he played), then he'd just plop over on me and fall asleep. He was is so funny and sooo cute! I couldn't give him up to anyone I didn't know and I couldn't keep him because of the kids severe allergies so I drove to Pittsburgh and gave him to my mom, that way I can still see him/know him forever :D

I love the Geckos! The red one is cool. How big will they grow to be? Do you breed and sell them?

Thank you! I really love the red on too!! it's so weird because neither parents are even close to the color red.

I think the average size is around 6-8 inches.

Willow getting prego was more of an accident. We were still uncertain of the sex. Now that we know they are in separate cages. She layed 4 eggs and still has two more inside of her. She ended up getting a little sick at first because we were not prepared at all for it. So no I don't breed and sell, but maybe one day after I learn more, but i don't want to over do it. She's my pet, not my baby maker, you know? I am probably going to sell two and keep the rest though.

If you ever get a Gecko you should use http://www.forums.repashy.com/
