Terra's Photo Gallery 10/4/13: Wow. It's been HOW LONG?!?!

[TerratheBeardie]

Well, actually, the 110 Dubias I ordered for my (hopefully) future colony came in Wednesday. Shoutouts to WestCoastRoaches for being awesome about shipping their Dubias. Not a single dead one. They're currently getting a mix of cat food, Zilla Beardie Pellets, leftover Crested Gecko Diet, Collard Greens, and cricket gel(will replace with oranges once both jars run out).

And these guys sure eat. I put in a small bottlecap of CGD last night in their dish. 2 1/2 hours later, it was cleaned out. o_o

For those wondering about Terra, she's still restless, and ended up ripping another nail. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to affect her.

Big update. Sorry for the wait. That's what I get for being lazy. XP

March:


April:




As you can see, she's been shedding much of March. Right now, she's done shedding for the moment and she's back to her Spring Fever kick. While she has lost two more nails, it's apparently not affecting her much since frankly, she doesn't climb much to begin with. She's also recently tried Dubias, or specifically, the males. The excitement she normally gets when she chases her prey SKYROCKETED when she chased them. Outside, she's still alittle cautious, but she seems to get more used to it. She'll occasionally take to some grazing (Rest assured, we don't use pesticides) and sometimes take an insect out of the wild(Mostly honeybees).

Nova(Will show pics later) has been growing like a weed since introducing her to crickets and Reptiworms. :shock: However, she's not exactly as precise as Terra when it comes to actually catching prey, XD.

We also have a new recruit here. This little guy was found by my dad in an electrical box at work, practically still due to it being cold. One temporary setup, an ACTUAL enclosure a day later, and while I haven't SEEN him eat, he's been pooping, and he's FAR from lethargic.

What type of gecko is that? It's super cute..

[TerratheBeardie]

According to one of the users at Pangea Forums(Shoutouts to them, btw), he is a Hemidactylus Turcicus. Otherwise known as either a Mediterranean House Gecko or Turkish Gecko. As you can guess, it's not really native to Mississippi.

Unlocked as requested by OP.

Ok, let's hear about the updates. :wink:

Well, it certainly has been awhile. o_o
Anywho, updates on Terra:
June, Terra tagged along with Trixie(My little sister's hedgehog) for a vet checkup. It was mostly for Trixie, since she had a swollen area of her right cheek. Trixie was a subject of concern, but I'll get into that later. Terra did pretty well on her checkup.....until she decided to use the vet's examination table as her toilet. The vet decided to use this opportunity to do a fecal exam. As it turns out, Terra's NEGATIVE for Coccidiosis now!!!!!
On the way home, she decided to have other ideas and explore the entire car XD
As of late, she's showing all the symptoms for Brumation, so I'm using this opportunity for this update.
Nova has been doing some growing. She's currently around 31 grams now and she's more active than Terra lately. O.O
The house gecko is still unnamed but still going strong. He lost his tail during a tank cleaning, but it's slowly regrowing.
Trixie, as mentioned above, had a swollen area on her cheek. He gave her some stuff for it and to notify him if it got worse. Well, it got worse, she had to have some surgery, and....yeah. However, while her owner was out of state, her condition got worse and....she passed overnight.

Anyways, on to the pictures!

My personal favorite. Terra wanted to play some Street Fighter X Tekken! XD

Sorry, nothing much for September. She decided to get ready to Brumate then. :roll:
