Friday photos

Well, it’s Saturday now, but I took the pics yesterday. It’s all my critters. Chameleons first though.

The always gorgeous Stella. Not even a papilloma can mar her beauty, at least in my eyes. I love love love this old lady. I’ve had to make some accommodations for her aging abilities and she’s been very accepting of them.

Old man Lucky, just doing his thing. Poor guy is finally resigned to being in captivity. I do my best to give him a good life, but I can’t give him his freedom back. He is so very sweet.

Bright eyed cutie patootie, huntress of isopods and my petite purple princess, Kali. She’s just barely starting to trust me again after having to take care of her abscess wound. It’ didn’t heal like I hoped and she’s got scar tissue. Doesn’t slow her down though.

Mango, Mango, Mango. Almost every time I open his door, he runs over and starts climbing out to get on my hand, to just sit and stare at me. I’ve looked and looked at any/every possible reason and there is none, other than he just finds it enjoyable. He is also my unrepentant screen climber. Again, no reason for it. I’ve put in extra branches and he just climbs parallel to them.

‘The baby’ of them all - sweetheart Bart. He comes running when I open his door too, but he’s looking for food. As you can see, I am clearly starving him. I often hear or find him shooting his tongue at nothing. Maybe it’s the memory of hunting those yummy black soldier flies that I release in his enclosure every so often.

Next up are my sweet little leopard geckos.

The handsome Handsome was too squirmy to get a decent pic of. He did graciously display that sexy chunky tail. I imagine he would drive the lady leos wild with his good looks. Who needs fancy morphs when the wild type is so stunning!

My other handsome guy, who I rarely get the privilege of seeing more than just a quick peek a boo, Otis. He was never tamed for handling and I accept that just enjoy the quick peeks.

Special Kirby. He’s such a doll. He has still not quite fully figured out how to be a leo properly. When I see he’s about to shed, I have to drench his entire enclosure, and he still has poor shedding and needs help with his gloves and lately his hat and goggles. He’s gotten so much better at ‘hunting’ his food from the tongs.

Then the beardies!

I had to move Spike out of my bedroom as his stomping around was keeping me awake all day. Man! He was always black bearding and head bobbing along with the stomping. I think the view of the front of the house was the cause. Now he has the much quieter back yard view and almost immediately is back to being my sweet fella. He is always wondering why he doesn’t get bugs as often as the others. He is so good about eating his salads.

Sleeping beauty, Electra. This is her first time brumating with me. I didn’t expect her to do a full brumation, so didn’t take note of the date. It’s been at least a couple of months and I hope she decides to wake up soon. She’s now got the busy front yard view. Hope it doesn’t make her an even bigger diva.

Last is the latest additions to the house…kitties! This guy has become Grey. Not imaginative, but it just fits. He spends most of the time sleeping in his carrier. Go figure.

Still lacking a name. Nothing fits him yet. Still working on it along with trying to get a grasp of his personality. Sometimes he’s sooo sweet and cuddly and sometimes he’s a jerk and nipping or scratching my hands for no reason. Hope he’ll calm down as others have in the past.

That’s all of my crew. No more additions to the house now…I’m full and happy.
