Got A New Girl. :)

Yay! I'm FINALLY a gecko owner! :D Last night I picked up a female Bibron's Gecko (Pachydactylus bibronii). She's a real sweetheart, and REALLY fast! :) On payday I'll be getting her several climbing branches, as I know that this is an arboreal species. I also want to NIX her, but, because their skin is so sensitive, I'm VERY worried about doing it in the first place. Maybe 1 or 2% Nix in 99 to 98% water may do it, or is that too weak to have any effect? Anyways, she's very alert, looks healthy, has great colour to her, and a healthy looking weight. I'll have pictures of her up as soon as I can. :)

Great to hear!!!!

Why do you want to nix her?

Zoe

[TheRedDragon]

Because she came from the store that I work at, and I want to take all necessary precautions.

[drewlowe]

Yea!!! welcome to the lizard side of things!!! You'll see these guys will grow on you very quick. Where's the pics??? Does he/she have mites our are you wanting to do it as a precaution???

Just waiting to hear when you and invictus are going to get a beardie. LOL

[CDN-Cresties]

[Invictus]

Drewlowe - Beardies are definitely on the "to get" list, as soon as we can afford all of the appropriate housing materials. :)

Bibron's are very neat geckos! Love to see some pics of yours. Although, I was kind of expecting your next acquisition to be another tarantula ;)

[TheRedDragon]

*LOL* Soon Jay...soon. I fell in love with a rosy at work. ;)

[JeffT]

Well good luck with the little guy, I hear they are really fun and easy to breed. So where do you work?

[Wuntu Menny]

Careful with that Nix, Eugene. Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one.

You might want to consult with a couple of other keepers on this site before using Nix on a gecko. While I've used it on a blue tongued skink with great success, it apparently can be harmful or even fatal to many other lizards and gex.

Just a heddzup,
WM

You're sure of that are you? I seem to recall agreeing to ONE spider in the house. :)

[Bartman]

congrats on the new addition. Is this your first lizard or just your first gecko? I love lizards more than snakes imo but ANYways congrats and best of luck with the new little dude. I wanna see some pics! :D

Wuntu Menny
when i read your message, i swear to god, i was listening to that song...WEIRD!!!

[Skink Keeper]

congrats on ur new lizard. Just wondering what made u pick a bibron's as ur first gecko?

[Wuntu Menny]

Bartman,

I knew you'd catch that even if nobody else did.

Now if only I could find a way to get "several species of small furry animals..." into a post on the feeder forum. Hmm

[TheRedDragon]

Well, for starters, the Bibrons was one of the cheaper geckos in my store, and, as soon as I saw her, I fell in love. :) They're charging WAY too much for leos over there, and if I'm to get one of those, I'll wait for another show. ;)

[Bartman]

lol @ wuntu :D:D
i think thats the longest song title in the world
