My Christmas gift from Wuntu Menny

[JeffT]

Here is what Lowell Shaw (Wuntu Menny) gave me for a christmas present 2 weeks ago. It is a juvenile Gheyra Vorax gecko. Hes absolutely awsome and eats everything in sight, also loves baby food and oranges. I have him in a 30 gallon on its side so its vertical with a lot more room. Heres some pics,
Note* I do have UV on the cage but I had to move it for the pics.

Cool! Nice gift!

[Wuntu Menny]

Brave lad, handling that little monster already. He seems to be calming down a little, I'm glad to see your both getting along. Any bites yet?

I'd lay off the citrus fruits, they're not supposed to be very good for them. The same goes for other acidic stuff like pineapple etc. I still haven't been able to find the exact reason why, but I figure its best to err on the side of caution.

Happy HoHo!

nice gecko you have there

[Tim and Julie B]

Yay! I have two from Wuntu too. Say that fast 5 times:D They are so awesome. Gotta love the little nibbles they give. You know, the nip, the nawing, the twisting of tender skin, the shaking of the tender skin as they try to tear peices off..........aren't they sweet?!:D

Oh yes the bites are the best part, I just cant wait until he is adult size.. Thats strange about the orange, how about mashed up bananna?

Thanks everyone :)

[Wuntu Menny]

I use banana in the mix that I premake. If I'm doing a quickie prep with baby food, I'll often add some banana puree to it. With a lot of tropical fruit hard to get right now, I've been mixing peach, apricot, and banana purees together and they go nuts for it.

Mine seem to adore mango, peach, banana and pear mixes:D Also pureed strawberry-big hit!

i also have a vorax and he is full grown but the only time i have been bitten is when i hand feed him pinkys and i would also agree never to feed them citrus. Thanks Doug.

[Tim and Julie B]

Hey Doug, where abouts in BC are you?:D

I imagine that its a pretty "messy" process of feeding them pinkies. It sure was when I had some Tokays lol.

[jim mcallister]

nice gecko, how did you get that spotlight to hold up that cage?? lol haha...

[JeffT]

I clipped it on to a chunk of brick, works pretty good but just make sure it is heavy enough or it can tip and break.
