post repticon experience

Saturday was ok with four geckos sold, one being donated to USArk; Sunday, I sold more geckos.

Overall, I found out that pink reptile cups are not as popular as the other three colors-lime green, blue, and black. I also found out that snake earrings are popular and favored.

I may try to make it to the July Repticon, but it all depends on animal inventory.

Overall, a great first experience for my second ever show vending at

first eggs of the season

I found my first crested gecko egg for 2011. I have it in the incubator although I do not think it is fertile.

other news... Atlanta repticon is this upcoming weekend. I am slowly getting ready, amongst my other normal weekly duties.

I'm also trying to get some jewelry ready, as well.

It is a busy week with a coworker out at work, a take home midterm to work on, a paper tow start, and regular homework and reptile duties.

The show couldn't have come ay a worse time, but I hope u am preparing and getting everything as well as I can.

Album for show is done

The album is not perfect, but I have a nice assortment of pictures to offer people to view.

I may set up a digital photo frame, but I am undecided on that right now.

I am now wishing I had bought an album with the note area per picture, but I figure I will buy a few and start working on species albums.

That, or maybe I will work on scrap books. I have been wanting to get back into those as well as the jewelry.

Soon, I will try to upload a few pictures from the album.

New Chahoua Geckos

Unfortunately, I do not have these guys in my home just yet, but as soon as the weather warms, I will have them. Until then, they are safe and growing with their breeder- Barbara Gebert, with Creepy Exotics. 

I am stoked about these little guys, who I purchased before the new year, hence their holiday picture above. Barbara gave me permission to post the pictures that she sent to me. This one is probably my favorite that shows both geckos in the same picture. It's the clearest of the pictures showing both geckos.

But, anyway, these are two of my three new chahoua geckos. They are Pine Isle chahouas.

Neither of these have names, yet, but I've been working it since payment back in December.  If you have any ideas, please feel free to share.

number 5

I was not looking for more geckos, but I happened upon a little guy that is perfect!! I emailed and PM-ed on the spot. I have to have that gecko.

I am super stoked. I am getting that gecko.

This gecko is a P.I from Tremper lines. The breeder is Dan with Krypyic Rhacs. He has been super nice and his animals look great. He seems to be very willing to answer any questions, take pictures, and hold for better weather.

I will see if he will let me post one of his pictures of the gecko.

Crazy Leachies

All of my leachianus geckos have their own temperaments and personalities. While cleaning cages the other day, I spent a little more time with my youngest two- Quinby and Milo.

Milo (to the left) is a Super Nuu Ana x Isle of Pine mix. Quinby (bottom right) is a Type B GT.

Between teh two, Milo is my potential male and Quinby my potential female. Now, these will not be a pair, but that's just how my youngest two happen to be sexed.

My pairs are hopefully going to be:
* Motley (Nuu Ana x Isle E) and Leenah (Nuu Ana)
* Milo (Super Nuu Ana x Isle of Pine) and Mirrach (high white Isle of Pine)
* Kaiser (Type B GT to come) and Quinby (Type B GT)

I am hoping all my potential pairs will be well, as leachies can get quite aggressive and even refuse the mate you chose for them. These guys don't always get along and can vicsiously fight the mate you have chosen, if they so choose not to like you pick.

But, anyway... The point of this post was that all of my geckos are different, and when handling Milo and Quinby, I have found that the two youngsters are more varied in personality and temperament than my older three. Milo would rather be on a stick, branch, or just in his cage, whereas Quinby quickly finds a finger (generally the thumb) and hangs on until you have to pry her off.

I have always heard so many keepers saying that their crested geckos all have different personalities, but with my gargoyles, leopard geckos, and even crested geckos, I have never really seen anything different among them. But, with my leachianus geckos and chahouas, I see personalities.

I don't know if I see what I want to see, or if there is truly something there to see, but I like it either way.

I enjoy having reptiles, and what is awesome is that some of them do seem to behave differently.

OH I do have one crested gecko that will sit and just hang out on your shoulder for hours, but the rest don't want anything to do with you. But, since Tripod has been placed in a more natural enclosure (for me means not egg cartons and cardboard cup holders), he's been more secluded and more of a recluse. Either way, he's still more friendly and docile than the rest.

But anyway, the point is leachianus geckos seem to have a good bit of personality differeneces, at least between Milo and Quiby I see something different in the geckos.

reptile bracelets

not sure how these turned out according to other people's standards, but I don't think they turned out too bad.

Three have frog dangle charms, one had turtle beads, and one lacks animal charms.

I hope my snake and gecko charms come in so I can add more variety besides just frogs.

If you have any advice for these and future European bracelets, I'm all ears.

Gargoyle Gecko Pictures

I found these pictures on my laptop. These are some gargoyle geckos that I used to have in my collection.

The first three were red stripes when fired up. These pictures aren't the best by any means.

Thesse were my first two gargoyle geckos. I bought both of these at the Repticon Atlanta show. They both were female. These were the first pictures that I ever took of them.

Throughout my times, I have had these five gargoyle geckos plus an orange blotch female and a reticulated male.

Out of my trio of adults, I only had one egg to hatch. I could not sell the gecko as an unsexed baby, but the rest of the group were all sold (stripes and all). To this day, I still have the baby. He is now about 3 years old. I keep wanting to find his exact hatch date, but I can't ever remember when I'm on my desktop. Anyway, I just thougtht I would share these pictures. I will try to get more up of the other gargoyle geckos that I've had. These are just the only ones on my laptop.
