Hello everyone, I'm sorta new to gecko keeping. I got my first Thanksgiveing day of 2006. Since then I have gotten four more with last being 7-31-07. I have Jimmy, a normal, Gem a tremper albino, Jewel a Super Mack Snow, Jazz a Blazing Blizzard, and Josie a SHTCTB. They all have different personalities and are all very special!
I am now looking for an AFT to buy, They all have 20L tanks so any new one after the AFT means I have to order a rack system. They are really addicting and I'm pretty much a weakling! Anyway hi and hope I get to know you all.

Re: Newbie

Hello,

Welcome to the site. Please post pictures of the Leopard Geckos!

For those who don't know, SHTCTB means: Super hypo - tangerine - carrot tail - baldie

That simply means the leo has very few spots, nice orange on the tail, patchy orange on the body, and no spots on the head.

Re: Newbie

I will try to put up some pictures, I'm pretty bad at the computer but I'll try.

This is Josie, she is still a baby hatched 4-6-07.


This is Gem, I got her 1-4-07 as a tiny 3 inch baby in trouble with a bad shed, her legs looked like they had plaster casts on.





This is Jewel, hatched 8-8-06.



This is Jazz, hatched 10-26-06, she has a super personality!


This is Jimmy, my first leo, she is feeling smug about finger painting with her calcium. Jimmy was sold to me as a boy but when I learned how to tell the difference I found she is a she! The name stuck tho! I hope these pictures work ok.

Re: Newbie

Only one species? You should definitely get into Rhacodactylus. Much more interesting to care for and play with.

Though some people are attached to one particular species for some reason...
