Been awhile lol





Most recent pictures of sweet sweet Speckles! And he finally,finally …willingly and very very slowly and while keeping eye contact … He walked up to my palm and layed down in my hand,and he didn’t look away :heart: I was in shock and I didn’t wanna risk scaring him for the sake of a picture of him in my palm… But hims did it! He has the softest belly like ever lol

And of course here is sweet sweet nugget,she has now learned how to climb up to the entrance doors of her tank and beg mom and dad to please let her come into the out lol

Does any body else’s Leo like kinda dig their back feet into your hands

Friend! It was one of the MOST amazing moments of my life! I love them so freaking much,like imagining a life without any of them … It’s unbearable! And I know that to some anybody saying that their pet(s) are their kids and I mean yeah,I guess that does sound wonky cause kids are…well kids lmao and pets are not human BUT the way that we can connect with them …the way that we love them and the way that they love us … It’s unmatched by any human. The only closet feeling literally would be the love we have for our biological children/step children however ya wanna say it … They can’t speak to us,I mean they can but not with human words … It’s in their body language and most certainly in their eyes … There’s a very silent but also very loud love there behind those beautiful eyes! -side note - does anybody here in gecko land know anybody in the Greenville sc that are safe to get leaf litter from ? 15$ for a 3 qt bag of leaf litter magnolia and pin oak are what we typically use for our geckos cause the magnolias cover quite a bit of the substrate and I add the pin oak before the magnolias so that way the ground is fully covered) I wanted to try fb market place BUT then again we don’t actually know anybody,just like here I technically don’t know anybody as In having actually met them,but this is an actual reptile forum …so I had hoped maybe it’s safer? I’m just really not sure where all to actually try as far as stores in the area …we need 100% natural play sand which is like 7$ at Lowe’s or HD Then Scott’s top soil the red and white bag then we need at least 2 bags of the white none calcium sand (Im curious about that orange desert sand for beardies,the Australian one? But everybody has said no colored sands… So been nervous to even try it) also, this isn’t like a for sale post or anything like that I’m just trying to find more trustful outlet for reptile supplies that’s close to local or local enough to be considered local? I don’t wanna get in trouble for this post

Lmmfao I do NOT have any patience :joy::joy::joy::joy: but I mean we’re on their time and specks seems to be coming around he’s just a bit shyer than the others Fievel and Specks are our two most shy/nervous although lol Fievel seems to really really like watching me cuddle with Sunny,like he just stares he kinda puffs his neck up to seme bigger than he is and kicks his face but just stares lol but it’s not like a scared stare,it’s more like he’s actually interested in what Iam doing and why is that big lizard just chilling on that lady so calmly just letting her pet him lol almost like he to wants to experience the cuddles but he’s still way to nervous like his breathing gets so deep and fast you can actually see the panic in his little body,which makes me so so sad cause I don’t wanna hurt little buddy,I just wanna love him.
