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:

Thanks everyone, now I know to just call when I want to come over. You're right Jolene, they're up to their ears with Leo, even though he's a great sleeper, nothing wakes him up, which is great for a baby. He doesn't cry much, he eats really well and he sleeps well, can't ask more than that from a new baby!

So Titan has a dark spot on his burned side that is getting bigger, so I'm calling the vet to have him seen asap. I'll let you know what it's all about. I'm just hping it's a discolouration of skin, but better safe than sorry.

Glad there's more understanding with in the family now :D I'd get Titan checked for the just in case too. I hope it's nothing. Poor Bug-a-boo has been through so much. Little fighter, that one 8)

I have an appointment Friday am for Titan, so will get getting him thoroughly checked. Even blood work if needed. I was able to get a few hours vacation, so don't have to be at work until 2:30p, we have a system that keeps track of our vacation hours so we can split a day any way we wish. So 9:30 Friday am, was the earliest apt I could get. I hope it's nothing serious but that circle of dark is growing daily. Hasn't stopped his appetite at all, but I don't like the look of it. He also has to have his mouth checked re: the abcess that has started growing again, poor baby. He is a tough cookie, though, I'm sure he'll bounce right back!

Leo and Rubio need their mouths looked at, but that can wait until September. Leo keeps going into his hide & hasn't eaten a whole lot, but his teeth are still dark, even though his gums seem to be fine, but I'll let the vet figure that out. Looks like he's starting brumation early this year, I still wake him up every am and he does bask, so I'll see how that goes. He ate yesterday & the day before, so there will have to be a last poop before I'll let him hide away. He's always been a up & down brumator, we'll see what he does this year. The others are all slowing down, but no sleeping yet, thank goodness!

And I'm off to bed, have to be up at 5:15 tomorrow am, my bus is at 6:27 to get to work, I'm going to be so tired tomorrow night!

Hi Barbara,
I normally don't leave for work until 10:30 am, that was just a makeup day for being at the hospital on Aug 2 when Leo was born.

So I checked Tara's facebook and found a new picture:


And for comparison, here he is at 2 days old:


What a difference 3 weeks of good milk makes! I think he looks more like his mom now than he did before. I'm so anxious to see him!

So I went over to my friend Joanne's tonight to meet her ferrets. She's got 2 from 2 weeks ago and adopted 2 more tonight. They are so cute! I got some pics but will post them another time, I have too many things to do b4 I go to bed. So she told me she fed her crested geckos supers, never thought of that. I always knew leos ate supers from Liz's posts, but never my type of geckos. So I offered each of them 1 worm and bang, they were eaten down in a flash. So as they're not used to them, I'll wait a couple of days (feed them crickets tomorrow night) to see how they digest them, and if they're well digested, they'll get supers a few times a week for treats. I'll keep on with crickets, as I don't buy many for them, but the supers in between will, hopefully, work out well.

He's a cutie! I love babies. I get a new one to cuddle on Thursday, as my best friend/sister is having a c-section. So excited!

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. 😔
