Langley the New Leachianus Gecko

Here's my newest leachianus baby. He's a temp-sexed male, but it will be a few months, at least, for me to be able to attempt to sex him. Currently, Langley is about 3 weeks old and teeny tiny.

Both Quinby and Milo were small when I got them, but Langley is crazy small.

This leachianus gecko baby is a GT Type B, which is why I'm really hoping for a male. I have had trouble finding GT Type B leachies that I like, much less males or possible males.

I have Quinby, who was supposed to be a male, but was easily sexed as a female when she arrived in her UPS box last year.

Anyway, I was having fun with geckos and light bulbs, so I thought I'd show off Langley.

New Female Chahoua

Here are quick cell phone pictures of my new female P.I Chahoua. This girl is 8 months old, and so pretty. I'm hoping Tag turns into a he, as the reds on him/her would be great with this one.

She still needs a name, so I'm open to suggestions. My other chahouas are Tag, Nimz, Veyron, and Skittles.

For now, this is the last chahoua I will be getting. I need to find out the genders of the ones that I have. So far they all look female, which is a bummer. I'd like at least one or two males. I was hoping for pairs instead of larger groups, but time will tell.



As for an update on Veyron and Skittles, they are still acclimating, so I haven't gotten good pictures of them yet. They are calm and docile, but still not big eaters. They'll eat the lateralis no problem, but eating the CGD from a bowl, isn't their thing. The breeder was hand-feeding, which I don't have time for. They'll eat if I hold them and the bowl, but both need to grow out of that. I may need to put them in smaller tubs to see if that will affect their ability to find food, although I know they are traveling the tub, just not eating.

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.

Not One, But Two New Chahouas

In reference to the post that I published on November 16th.... I am getting not one but two more chahouas. They are both pine isle chahouas.

Apparently, I'm a glutton for punishment, and well here we go. Luckily, the breeder is letting me do a payment plan

Thinking About a New Chahoua

I can't believe that I'm actually thinking about getting another chahoua gecko. I just bought my fifth leachianus, and my reptile account is fairly broke and has been for some time. I am just so enamored by leachianus and chahoua geckos that I can't stop.

I am glad that I have refrained somewhat since I've gotten into the species. There have been a few cases when I've almost bought some other chahouas, so backing off of those is definitely an improvement from when I first got into crested geckos and leopard geckos.

Sometimes, it's all or nothing with me, so the fact that I've only purchased two chahouas and four leachianus this year is pretty good. I guess the price of these geckos is what has held me back, as when I got into crested geckos they were priced higher than presently, but still much cheaper than leachies and chewies.

I think that I bought a lot four crested geckos for $400-500, and one chahoua is that same price.

But, anyway I just thought that I would get some venting out and maybe talk myself out of the new gecko... I have the kritter keepers for a small gecko, the CGD, and the crickets. I'm just low on extra cash, being that I'm trying to save for a house and pay off my car early.

Such a dilemma. Ha

Pine Isle Female Leachianus

I am so excited!!! This girl is from Philippe with Giant Geckos. She is, as the title mentions, a pure Pine Isle leachianus. She is much larger than my others, and gorgeous!! As long as Milo is a male, she will be his mate, and of course, as long as she will take him. 

 

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).

New Leachianus Gecko

I can't believe that I actually bought a fourth leachie. I initially only wanted one as a pet, but quickly after bought Leenah. When I was finally able to have the two shipped in and had time with them, I bought Quinby.

Now, I have paid for a Pine Isle x Super Nuu Ana mix. I am looking forward to this high color mix leachie.

I should get the gecko in Wednesday, which I will post pictures of then.
