Hello Everyone!

My name is Lee, and I have been lurking around here for the past month researching and learning. I have always wanted a reptile as a pet, and now I finally adopted my new buddy this past Saturday! This little guy was the first to the glass and would not stop checking me out even after I left and came back. It was the natural choice.

Without further delay... meet Rocko (who I am thinking is actually female, but don't know for sure yet, so Rockette maybe?). :wink:

Hours after coming home:

Unfortunately this image is rather dark, but after much interest and many attempts finally conquered the laptop (trying to get closer to the message boards maybe?):

Lounging around after showing the laptop who was boss. Also, in this photo you can clearly see that the tail is a orange color while the body is more of a gray. I am not sure if this is shedding or what? The guy at the store told me it was due to a colored sand that they tried in the enclosure, but it has yet to come off with two baths. Then again, I was also told that feeding large crickets would be fine, and to feed only a few a day. :roll:

Making the best of the situation.

That is all I have so far. I would have to say that my absolute favorite image is the one looking out the window with the light on his/her face. As I am typing this we have some bearding action going on while basking after a good dinner!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
