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.

Quinby Female Leachie Picture

I love this one to death. Although, Motley is probably my favorite leachianus gecko, Quinby is super special. I am almost positive this one is a girl, but she's still a little young to tell for sure. Quinby is a GT Type B leachianus gecko that I expect big things from.

I hope to get her a male when I'm sure she is a she. I already have a name and everything picked out- Kaiser.

Anyway, this is my girl hugging mom's finger.

Leachianus Pictures of Milo Isle of Pine Mix

I haven't had this guy long, but since I've had him, he's nearly always been a pale coloring, like many leachianus babies will be Well I found him fired up, so to speak, and grabbed this shot. He's still brown, but I have a feeling within time, he'll be a nice green color. He'll be a great match with Mirrah my pure Isle of Pine female.

Leenah was fired up today

It is hard to see in these pictures, but my Nuu Ana Leachianus gecko was fired up today. She was showing her pink blotches really good.

I took pictures with my camera, but I just don't think I was able to capture the colors with the camera or my phone.

She was a darker tan on the bottom, pink blotches all over, and a light tan near white on top.

She was just gorgeous.

Milo the Pine Isle x Super Nuu Ana Leachianus

I got these pictures a few days ago. They show Milo a little colored compared to the last pictures I posted of him.

I can't wait to see him, more fired as he ages. He has nice blotching coming in. (I'm biased though).

Here's a close up of his colors.

Two Leachies in Two Weeks!

I can't believe it! I just paid for another leachianus gecko. I hope to get her in this week. She is from Philippe with giantgeckos.

Leenah, my Nuu Ana, was purchased from someone who bought her from Philippe, so it's a nice honor to have two of his geckos in my collection.

This gecko is a pure Pine Isle female leachianus gecko. She will be named Mirrah, and when old enough will breed to the gecko I got in last week, which is a Pine Isle x Super Nuu Ana mix. I am almost positive that the mix is a male, even though the breeder looped it as a female. I can easily see dark pores.

The two should lead to gorgeous high color babies.

I will post pictures when I get her in hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday. *EEK* I'm so excited!

I'm going to be leachied out soon with 5 leachianus geckos! I will still need to get Quinby a male, as I think Quin's a female (looped with no dark pores).

My New Leachianus Gecko

Once I dug through the top layer of styrofoam peanuts, I found my new gecko.

So my new leachianus gecko is a Pine Isle x Super Nuu Ana mix. Both parents were of a high color patterns.

Leachianus geckos can bite. I haven't had mine for too long, but I am aware that these big geckos can cause a little damage when provoked. My new leachie gecko was stressed from shipping, and did not like that I was trying to visually sex her.  This bite from a leachianus gecko was nothing, but that doesn't mean that a bite from an adult leachianus should be taken lightly.

Be sure to look back for more updated pictures of this girl as she grows. I need to find a mate for her. I'd love to find a Pine Isle male, since I already have a pair of Nuu Ana's (Well a pure Nuu Ana and a mix).
