I recently have been fortunate to take in as a re-home three gorgeous leopard geckos/Eublepharis Macularius.
I've taken in babies and juveniles before from pet shops that put them up for adoption because they were sickly.
I take them home, get them cured and re home them with nice people.
But these babies are different. I will not re home them and they will be part of my reptile family.
My new homies are:
1.2.0 (1-male, & 2 females)
The first one is Brianna - Female. When we picked her up she had a terrible eye cap that looked like it was at least 2 deep from past sheds. My wife, Michelle, cleaned her up and gently removed the eye cap. She very experience with this seeing she has saved many a ball pythons eyes from this very same problem.
Michelle was able to remove a portion of the eye cap, held her for a minute and Brianna shook her head. The remainder of the eye cap flung off with a portion of old head shed.
The eye looks fine and we'll keep an eye on it, no pun intended. If it looks weepy then she's off to the ARAV vet.
Anyways here's Brianna:
The next one's are of "Spot", the male gecko.
Spot is a handsome guy and his coloration is very vibrant.
One of my intentions is to breed them, but I want to read up first so I don't make mistakes. I have bred ball pythons and beardies before with an incubator that was specially built for us.
Here is "Spot":
My new third leopard is another female and her name is "Marshmallow". It was explained to me that when she was little she had a white spot on her head in the shape of a marshmallow. The spot's no longer there but the name stuck.
