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:

Hi Tammy, hope to see Leo, too, supposed to hear from my sun tomorrow. Not sure but I think Leo's going through a fussy stage, but will find out more tomorrow. And I'm so hoping that Titan will feel better soon. Everything I'm doing seems to be working, the Betadine has stopped the spots from getting bigger, so continue to put that on every day, he only has 2 more injections to go and the acidophilus seems to be helping with his tummy. I think he ate some greens yesterday, too. He has a lot of weight on him, so losing a bit won't do him any harm, thank goodness. So he goes to the vet on the 21st and we'll see what she has to say.

You like the pic of the 3 boys on my bed, too? It's the one good thing about being home sick, I get to play with my boys, move them around, they all get outside time. It's fun!

So here are some pics, Gabriel sleeping the other night, now this is comfy, I have no idea :lol:


And the impatients are doing better now than when it was so hot:
The far left side is Rubio's grazing ground :mrgreen:


So here are the pics I got for the calendar, but a lot of them are washed out, so I've put on the best and I'll do more this evening when it's dark out, better contrast.

Didi: The first one turned out so well, but couldn't get the same thing to work for the others:




Gabriel:





Leo:





Lonzo:




Titan:




Rubio:





I could really use some help in choosing, still have a week to take more pictures, if needed.
Thanks much everyone!

Hello Deb.
Hope you are having a good weekend so far.
Here are my choices and opinions on the photos.


Didi: #1 is the best one of him, # 2 is good also, you could choose both of him, if you wanted, for the calendar.

Gabriel: #2 is a good choice but I like #3 better. #4 It's a good choice for the calendar also, but it made me laugh because it seemed like he was saying "would you hurry up, please!"

Leo: #2 is a good pic for the calendar, #4 is also a good choice for him.

Lonzo: #1 and #3 are best

Titan: #1 and #2 are good I like his position in #3 better. Looking again, I'd choose #1 and #3. #3 I really like this picture of Titan.

Rubio: #1 is a good pic but the background would be better if you could put a towel under the bowl & branch. #4 is best. #2 is good also. # 4 seems a bit washed out, which I'm sure, you figured out already.

You've taken some really good pics of your boys. I hope my opinions help you some.

They're all so beautiful!!!

I'd say:

Didi: 1,3
Gabriel: 2,3
Leo: 1,3
Lonzo: 1,3
Titan: 2,3
Rubio: 1,2

Hard choices!!! You've got some great pics :)

Didi - Definitely the first one
Gabriel - if you could get the second and fourth pose to be clearer on his head, it'd be a great shot; or have him turn his head to the side a tad for the first one
Leo - first one
Lonzo - second
Titan - last
Rubio - last

Wow, that is going to help a great deal, everyone, thanks so much! Now I can zone in on the best ones or re-do some tomorrow to get them better. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the one of Titan posing, I think he looks wonderful in that picture, no goop!
Thanks again!

I talked to him Wednesday and he was supposed to call me today. So no Leo this weekend as never heard from him. I'm going to call tomorrow afternoon, but won't have time to visit them. But I'm free next weekend, so will see what happens. As I told my mom, Leo's not going anywhere.

Hey Deb :) I love all the pictures of the boys so it's so hard to choose.. I'm having trouble choosing the ones I want too.. but I think I found the ones I'm gonna send in.. I did another photo shoot of Jango today in his viv just being himself and I think they turned out pretty good.. better than when I was trying to pose him :lol: Gonna post some of them on my thread later. Sorry you didn't get to see Leo this weekend.. hopefully next weekend.

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. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
