But I have to ask… what kind of gecko is Inigo?? Some kind of banded gecko?
He is cyrtodactylus pulchellus. sometimes called a forest bow-fingered gecko.
I just recently obtained this guy as a mate for Sunkist. He doesn’t have a name yet. A red super dalmatian crested.
Lord Voldemort is a Tokay Gecko. They are very pretty lizards, but they are also very aggressive lizards. I’ve handled hundreds, though I’ve only encountered one or two that you could consider ‘nice’. Mine is a typical super aggressive male, and since his bite is enough to do plenty of damage, I wear gloves whenever I must handle him. Otherwise I don’t handle him at all. I set him up in a nice big, natural looking terrarium and just let him do his thing and clean up after him when neccessary. Tokays are much happier that way, and they turn turquoise and orange(very pretty) when they are content. Good display lizard for a hobbyist…. Not a good pet though if you want to play with it.
Look for ‘Tokay Gecko Bite’ on Youtube and you’ll see what I mean…
I want to see pics of other people’s herptiles, if you have them. Herptile is blanket term for reptiles and amphibians, for those that aren’t familiar.
Here are some of mine.
Lizards:
Inigo
Stubby(big one) and Suki
Charmander
Terra
Sunkist
Rusty
Lord Voldemort
Griffin
Snakes:
Arbok
Tiamat
Nagini
Kaa
Toph
I have a few more, but no decent pictures yet.
Apartment companies (the ones i have dealt with so far), don’t seem to care unless someone specifically complains about you. And a lot of them don’t care if the animal is in a cage or tank. At my last 2bed/2bath apartment we had:
1 dog(deposit paid)
2 cats ( 1 cat deposit paid since the other showed up halfway through lease)
5 snakes (kingsnakes, boas)
11 lizards (geckos, bearded dragons)
5 salamanders (a communal viquarium)
1 rat
8 frogs (a communal viquarium)Granted not all of these guys are in individual cages. Quite a few are breeding groups, so they are housed together 2-6 to a cage. But still, if the apartment management knew, they’d probably flip their s*#!. But since we are quiet people and so are the pets, no one asks questions. Even our neighbors don’t have a clue.
Personally I wouldn’t even mention the ferrets. Just keep them clean and caged when maintenance people are supposed to come around.
