After my last gerbil died (the 5th one in 7 years) I decided no more small furry heartbreakin critters for me. I took the terrarium and its stand out of my room...but i realized that there was now a very disturbing blank space. I tried moving different things there to fill it up but it just wasn't the same....So i started thinking. My mom hates snakes and rats and mice, so those were out. And fish...well fish were just boring and they die too easily. Two of my nephews had purchased geckos in the last year, so I thot 'Hey, they have been saying nice things about um...why not?' So I decided that that was what i was getting, and using my gift of easy persuasion I got mom in on the agreement. For the past week I've been looking into everything gecko to prepare myself...and now I find myself suddenly obsessed..>_<. I got 4 gecko sites on my favorites list, I could tell you from memory the proper housing arrangements and temperatures...its quite sad. Anyways...to get to the picture...lol. A product of massive 'schools out' boredom and gecko manic...For my first reptile I think it turned out pretty good! I did have to use a photo reference though...but hey I'm new, lol.
