Honey the Leachie Gecko

Ivalynfyre · 07-30-12, 04:24 PM

My first post on the forum was asking about leachie geckos. One of my other threads was me being concerned about him, and now I realize I haven't really shown pictures of him on this forum. So here he is, Honey, my leachie.

I got this guy(unsexed, I just call him a 'he') April 24th, he weighed around 16 grams, and his body was about as long as my finger.

Now, he weighs 39 grams, is about 7 inches long head to tail, and definitely can not fit his whole body on my index finger!

Here's a few pictures of him when I caught him out, super fired up(I think, lol).

And a picture of him eating..

Ah leachies! The shar-pei of the gecko world.

They definitely resemble shar pei's with the loose skin, and compared to the smooth feel of my snakes, he's kinda soft! This guy is fun, I love watching him eat, however he poops a lot more than the snakes(of course that's to be expected..).
