We never expected to get another dragon, but our neighbours next door wanted to give away Cleo, as he was called. We'd babysat him before, he's such a sweetheart. We nicknamed him Velcro because when he snuggles he never wants to go back to his viv, he hangs on as if he's made out of velcro.

So here he is. Today was his first day with us. He ate 13 supers and ate some squash, not bad for the first day he was here. He's only in a 30 gallon tank, which will be ok for now. He's 18" long but weighs only 200g. We figure he's probably 2 yrs old. Our neighbours rescued him last fall, they found him and a female (which they named Puff) on Craig's list. They were in a 30 gallon dirty tank, with sand and a huge log that took up 1/2 the space in the tank. Leo was at the bottom, he was sooooo skinny. He's gained weight, but never got the attention he deserved. I took some pics today, but will take more tomorrow. I think he remembers our place as didn't get stressed as I expected. No stress marks at all. When we let him run around the living room, he noticed our girls and immediate black beard, so his hormones are working!

He had a bath this morning, had a big poop, no smell, so not worried about parasites.

So here are a few pics, he's a yellow & dark gray, light gray colour.

Under the communal power sun in the living room:

Discovering there are girls in those tanks up above, he has a great black beard for such a skinny boy:

On the couch, he's got a pretty diamond pattern on his back:

Hope you enjoy
Deb and my six dragons :D :shock: :shock: :shock: :cry: :cry: :( :love5:

Gina, I hope you're right and I'll keep that in my heart. It's not fun to not get along with your son's girlfriend, especially now that she's pregnant. So hopefully, when they settle into their new place, they move in 2 weeks, it will all get better. My fingers are crossed!

It's so quiet this am, no-one has stirred to wake up, time to turn the lights on and see who wants to be up today.

Bunny got her weekly cricket fix & is sound asleep, I think here are only 2 left. She's a wonderful hunter! Wish she could give lessons to the rest of them!

It's nice to be hearing from him on a regular basis again. Now if only I could talk to Tara and get that nonsense sorted out, that would make me feel better & I think Eric, too.
Here's what frustrates me about Tara. Without your blood, there would be no Eric. Without Eric's blood there would be no baby.
I all but hate Annie's father. (Selfish man who couldn't be bothered to give Annie so much as a Christmas or birthday card this year :angry5: ) Still, I respect that fact that without him, I wouldn't have my darling child. The best gift any one person could ever ask for. Tara doesn't have to like you, I don't like my Ex. But she needs to respect you. Period. Let's hope the babe helps her grow up a little so she can get over her self.

Could she give lessons to Myah too!? Lazy little bum had me hand feed every buggie to her yesterday! :roll: Gosh, I know I should just let her do it herself but I'm trained so darn well! LOL! :lol: Sweet little Bunny, the huntress! :D

I feel for you Holly, Eric's father has been in touch with him 3x during his life & last time Eric was 14 and just a bunch of broken promises. So just after that, Eric told me he considered his father just a "sperm donar" and nothing more and he's not been heard from since. So Roger was really Eric'd dad. Wasn't a great dad but at least he was there.

Yes, I'm hoping that Tara will get off her grudge period & realize that I'm a decent person & deserve to see my grandchild. I'll worry about it closer to the birth. She's only 7 or 8 weeks pregnant right now, I'm hoping after they move in 2 weeks it will get better.

And yes, I can't believe what a hunter Bunny is, she just grabs them up in no time flat! She could definitely give lessons to my boys, all lazy that they all get hand fed. Even Didi gets crickets hand fed. He's decided that he's going to sleep again today. Leo poked his head out so put his light on him, but I have a feeling he'll go back into hiding! Winter is such a strange time for them all!

Well, I hardly know how to say this but I've lost Bunny :( I've been checking every inch of my bedroom (thank goodness the door was closed), under every piece of furniture, behind every inch of furniture, under the bed, I even removed the sheets to make sure but can't find her anywhere. I'm hoping she'll just pop up somewhere but I'm just heartbroken & feel stupid on top of that. I always keep an eye on her, so don't know how this happened. So any prayers would be gladly appreciated. I'm just going to stay in the bedroom now, hoping to find her, will keep checking everywhere. I even opened up her tank, in case she decides to climb up it, or I think I'll put her tank on the floor for easier access, as they can wiggle into any space, so may have gotten out under the tiny space between the door and the floor. I'm so sad & angry with myself for losing her :( Hope I find her.

I know how scared you must be. We lost Rosie 4 years ago (about) and it was at least an hour before I found her in the bedroom underneath some things, thankfully.

Oh deb, I'm sorry. :( I'm sure she'll turn up. She just hasn't given mama a proper scare yet, and she making up for it. Don't feel stupid, your just plain not. I always leave Myah's viv doors open when I'm home and she's awake.(I know I shouldn't) You just get used to them always being where you last saw them. Well wishes to you my friend, but I'm sure you'll find her.

I FOUND HER> She was just about to head under my dresser; I'd felt her in the wires behind my bed, then she disappeared, I went to the other side of my bed & there she was about to duck under my dresser. You know I'll be keeping a better eye out when she's out of her tank, no more distractions! Boy was my heart hammering. At least it got the bedroom cleaned up and the bed made (procrastinator, that's me) Right now she's hiding in my staionary shelf while I'm writing this. Thanks Lori and Holly, for the encouragement, I even put her tank on the floor, just in case she got out of the bedroom, so she'd find it. But now I'll put it back where it was!

I think it's time for her to relax in her tank and get some more crickets!

Just shows that I love her as much as my dragons, as when they hide I panic like this, too!

I'm just glad that I glanced down and was fast enough to scoop her up. I have a very long, low to the ground dresser, that would have been very difficult to get her out of under there.

I'm glad you found her. I knew you would, tho it might have taken a bit of time. I'm sure it was tricky to get her before she got under the dresser. I can see it now: if she did make it under the dresser, you would be getting all the drawers out then moving the dresser, just to see her going somewhere else.

Thanks everyone, I won't let her out of my sight again. There are just too many hiding places in my house, but I'm so glad I was quick enough to grab her up. Now she's sitting on my calculator, watching me & cleaning her face. She really loves to get around and check everything out. When she's in her tank, she hides alot. Now that Rubio is sleeping, she also likes to roam around in his huge tank (75 gallon), but only when I'm watching her. That was one BIG scare!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, HAVE A SAFE & HAPPY 2013

Popped in to say Happy New Year and hope your new year is filled with love, family and friends and hope it brings prosperity and happiness to you. Also have new pictures of geico and emily..you wont believe its them.

That's what happened to me the last time Gianna escaped and wend into hiding in my bedroom :roll:
Thank god you found her and she didn't get very far. I know exactly how you felt and how scared you were. Hope you gave her a good talking to.

I sure did and when I got the bedroom back to rights (never been so tidy) I let her out again, but I put my hand in front of her if she wandered off too far. She likes to wander! Yes, I remember that Gianna episode and felt for you, as I've been there a few 100 times and always feel the same way, panic, pounding heart, guilt, sadness...the emotions just come pouring out while I search frantically. Wish I'd had a video of how often I was on the floor checking & checking & checking (sure found alot of dust!)

Thanks Gina, I sure was grateful when I found her!

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. 😔
