Was doing bad things.....looking at craigslist at 3 AM the other night.....Which resulted in me picking up this pretty girl today! Couldn't pass up the great deal and such a pretty gecko, her contrast is amazing. She seems very healthy. :) She was very mellow and completely cleaned her food bowl already, while I was holding it. She will be in quarantine for a bit and then moved into a bioactive setup.

Congrats on your new friend. I too find myself looking at fauna, kingsnake and Craigslist all the time for more snakes. Sometimes I just have to get control over my impulses and tell myself NO!

Thanks guys :) Super excited especially that she already ate so well, she supposedly does like bugs so I will be picking some roaches up at the next expo.
@Minkness I couldn't wait either! Thus...this girl lol. Huge difference in size between her and my little guy. Would love to see an update on yours soon!

Mine is proving to be an exceedingly slow grower lol.thinking of doing a nicer set up for 'it' too instead of a critter keeper. I have a small 1 gallon fish tank with a screen lid that someone gave me when I was doing rescues, so I think that's what I'm going to use. I'll do an update when I have one =)

They are very slow growers for sure, much slower than cresteds. I just switched mine from pangea fruit with insects to watermelon and mango and the little guy likes it, the new girl isn't picky. He has only grown a couple grams since I got him in February so don't be too surprised :)

Yeah. I feed the pangea bugs n fruit, watermelon mango, and I also offer organic baby food to everyone about once a month as a treat. My garg seems to be picky though. Not eating so great x.x
Just gotta wait it out is all.

Oh my goodness! She is adorable :D what type of gecko is she? I'm not up to snuff on my geckos lol

She is a gargoyle gecko :)

Uhg....so jelly of her feeding! I moved my little guy from the medium kritter keeper to a tiny glass aquarium. Maybe I will attempt hand feeding lol. I've had to do that with finiky baby cresties before.
Gargoyles are definitely what I would get next if I were to add more geckos. Nice pick up!

I love the colors on gargoyles... I am currently looking for one too... craiglist is normally a gret place to buy and rehome reptiles lol cause the person almost always lists them real cheap.
