Haha! Poor Louis!
Thank you for the pictures cat – those little guys are so adorable! And pretty – it’s interesting to see how much the patterns vary. Sorry about little Dit, but I hope the others grow into big strong geckos.I suppose they can be if the other one is small enough and the bigger one is stressed/threatened or hungry enough? Leopard geckos and I think a couple other species eat their own skin when they shed to regain calcium and other nutrients. Random tidbit….
Awesome pics. They are so cute. Still trying to convince my hubby to get reptiles. They freak him out tho 😆 and he seems to think 16 animals is enough. 😕 😀 Silly man
I’ll have to look at those when we get home. Silly work computer site blockers…. *knows how Drag0n feels when she can’t view pictures at work… that was Drag0n, right???*
And I thought I was getting alot of babies (birds)…..omg, so many of them and all so different! How to choose? I would be tempted to keep them all if they were mine. 😆
Miss you Nirvanacat! 🙂We made the trip up to Sacramento this weekend and Primus has a loving new home with Louis’s neice who is 14. Three years ago we had promised her she would get the first gecko that we hatched, and now all this time later she was thrilled with her new baby. The tragic coincidence was that in the same week Primus hatched, she was working on making an acoustic guitar and while using the belt sander got her hand caught in it. She was apparently a very calm shock victim and quickly unplugged the thing and when she couldn’t get her hand out, carried it into the house and called her uncle who was only a few min away. Long story short, he was able to dismantle it and take her to the ER……girl has an amazing thresh hold for pain she only cried a little bit and then passed out at the hospital after having an open wound to the tendons for 20-30 min 😮 . It’s all healed over now, but it’s left a really big scar on her knuckle which other kids and even some adults make rude comments about. Anyway, the timing was just right with the hatching of Primus and it helped her through that ordeal a lot knowing she had a baby waiting for her and she made the profound statement; “You know, I think God has blessed me and given me hope after this accident by letting you guys figgure out hatching the geckos so mine could be born to help me through this tough time.” Lord that girl is amazing! So we spent an awesome couple of days with them and it was a wonderful bonding experience all around!

Bearded Dragons do it too…My brother-in-law had a couple a while back, and the bigger one ate the smaller one. Guess housing 2 that are so dissimilar in size is a no-no. One was only half the size of the other. 😕
Welcome back for another fly-by Cat! Miss you! *hugs* 😀
