I picked up the Rosy Boa and Leopard Gecko today and even though I am really happy that I got them I am also really disappointed. I was given the cage stack (4'x2'x2') along with them and it does not fit through my bedroom door
. It would fit if the hallway was a little wider but as it is the cage hits the door frame. I have it set-up in the living room right now but it can't stay there. My brother said that it might fit if we remove the door frame but he is not sure if it will go back on after. I guess I will be buying some tubs and heat tape next week.
I think I will be needing some advise on handling these guys as they have not been handled in 3 years. The gecko was running away from me and jumping off my hand when I was trying to get it into it's travel tub and the snake bit my brother and I think it wanted to eat his thumb
. My friend said that the snake has not eaten in a while so that may be why it bit my brother and the gecko had a ton of crickets in his cage and has a nice fat tail. My brother said that the gecko is missing a lot of toes but it looked like it had them all to me but I will get a better look tomorrow.
