Leachianus Gecko

[odduc748]

I've just ordered a Leachie and she will be here on Thursday. I'm so excited to add another lizard to my collection!

I decided to wait on the giant waxy monkey frogs, for now. Leachies are so much more interesting.

I'll post some pics soon.

That is cool, where are you getting it from?

Congrats on the leachie, they are awesome! I have one called Armani - I love him to bits! Here's my gorgeous boy!

I'm getting a female from Reptiles by Mack. She will be here on Thursday.

He's a good looking leachie!

I have been bitten really hard by the reptile bug!!!!!

I will have two new arrivals on Thursday. Of course, I have the female leachie. In addition, I've ordered a male Ambilobe Panther from the Chameleon Company.

Thursday will be like Christmas, just like when I was a kid!

I just finished the new Panther enclosure, complete with it's own Mistking nozzle. Tomorrow, I'll complete the new leachie enclosure.

I'll have to post some pics of my lizard room.

Thanks! I was told that mine is a Bayonnaise. I love him so much! His saggy skin and those big wrinkly feet! I also have a breeding pair of cresties as well as the chams - a Carpet and a Jackson's. Think the leachie is my favourite though! (Don't tell the chams! Haha!)

Mine is a Pine Island locale.

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of her and my male Ambilobe Panther...

Well a big congrats! Sound like you are going to have your hand full for a while. I see pictures of Tiff(miss lily) guy all time and he is really neat. If he is her favorite he must really be a star! i hope yours is a cool.

She is a gorgeous girl!!! She is exactly 3 months old and tipping the scales at a healthy 9 grams.

 

[Miss Lily]

Awwww, she's tiny! Mine weighed 14g when I brought him home. He is up to 67g now as his eating has really slowed this winter.

 

[odduc748]

I just placed her in a 12x12x18 terrarium as her home for the next few months. I will eventually house her in a 24x18x36 when she grows to about 35-40g.

Then, I'll be looking for a male so as to breed them.

You may find that size enclosure is still too big at the moment. Babies feel secure in smaller enclosures. Mine only just moved to a 12 x 12 x 18 back in October. He was almost 2 years old and just under 50g.

She wasn't interested in the crickets.

She has a cork log in her terrarium and plenty of artificial brush for hiding. So far, she seems to be ok.

Of course, I monitor her closely and will move her if I notice she's not eating or pooping.

Thanks!

 

[Miss Lily]

Cool! Yep, just make sure she's eating and pooping ok. Mine has never shown any interest in live food yet. I have tried several times.

The breeder said she was eating small crickets and CGD. So, I wanted to see if she might take a cricket or two. No such luck.

I'm sure she's still a bit stressed from her relocation.
