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:

I like the solo sexy leg. :) . . .more jumping . . . Pogo really does think she can fly - I am just waiting for the wings to sprout under the next shed.

What is Bunny? Pogo is my only reptile, so I am not very good at recognizing all of the different kinds of lizards.

Well, I think that would be the equivalent of Gabriel flying :lol: I could see the wheels turning in his head on where to land, it was really funny & of course I didn't have my camera with me.

He's taken off from the counter to the kitchen floor before, that's about 3 1/2 feet, that really made my heart thump :shock: I'll have to see if he does it again from my leg & have my camera with me this time. Have to plan that out, though...

I want to get a video of Castiel's reaction to Cierra because he goes absolutely nuts :shock: None of the others react to her the way he does.

Gabriel is sounding more and more like Pookie every day.
Pookie never had a fear of flying, even as a juvie. He could jump off from the top of his house (1.5 inches shy of 3 feet) or the top of the couch (3.5 feet) and land on the living room floor without even a blink of the eye, then take off running immediately afterwards.

And, Gina, this scares you half to death.

Lori - It used to, but after many failed attempts at begging him not to perform kamikaze stunts like that, I gave up and just accepted the fact that he'll always do it and he'd be fine.

That's how I feel about Gabriel. Nathaniel's another one that loves to fly. He loves to sneak out of his bath when I'm not looking, jump on the floor and take off, I have to sit and watch him his whole bath & he sure doesn't like that :lol:

What a wonderful day it was, I just spent 9 hours with my grandchildren, with their other grandmother Heather. I'm on cloud 9, I just had a wonderful day, feeding them both, playing with them. Gave Leo a bath (he's 27 mo old) and Safara (she's just over a year and walks and runs really well). Heather gave Safara her bath because, being on crutches, I didn't really trust myself with her.

So then I get home & check out the calendar pages (OMG 5 calendars this year :shock: ) and Gabriel and Leo both have full pages :D I'm just so happy!

Then I checked the other calendars and recognized alot of dragons in full pages, Alex did such a great job this year!

My son and his wife's move didn't go smoothly today, their Uhaul was broken into last night (we're talking about a gated community as they spent the night at her parents) they still don't know what was stolen. Then the old tenants didn't move out until 3p today, they didn't get the move in done until past 6p and didn't pick up the kids until 9p. So my day went really well, but theirs didn't. It's going to take some time to get unpacked and settled, that's for sure. Her parents put together some food for them, plus other things that they couldn't find right away. We'd already bathed the kids & had them in their pj's so ready for bed once Eric got home. He has to work tomorrow, think he'll be a bit numb.

I didn't have alot of time to take pics, but got a couple of Safara and Heather & a great pic of Leo, will download later and post both.

Sorry to hear that their U-haul was broken into. Hope nothing of sentimental value was stolen.

What a delight that you got to spend so much time with your grandkids! It's hard to believe that Leo is over 2 years old and Safara is over 1.

I was just as happy to see Leo and Gabriel's full page calendar shot as you were. All of the photos came out great.

Did you see Pookie? I was thrilled!
Of course I did! I bawled when I saw his photo as the cover.
Gina didn't tell you the whole story, she was eating macaroni & cheese when she viewed the pictures and almost choked while shedding tears too. So happy he got a cover photo. :p

How awesome Deb that you got to spend so much time with your grandchildren. That must have been such fun. They are growing so fast and are SO cute. What a shame about the U-haul and their belongings and what a LONG day for them. Hope things start going smoothly for them soon.

You sent in such beautiful pictures. I couldn't wait for everyone to see them. Alex really outdid himself.

Oh my goodness, I had completely forgotten about that part. I was too emotional to remember much immediately after seeing my baby's photo as the cover.

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. 😔
