Well, I've slowly started handling these guys. Once maybe every two to three days (about 3-4 tries total) and I must say again that I'm still smitten with them!

First up is the lovely Atreyu from our very own Hannibal. She is the calmest of the trio and has not taken any more daring leaps out of my hands. She's taken to crawling up my arm and resting on my boob.... She was about halfway fired up tonight. She was the only one who would let me get a few decent pictures. Sweet little girl here!






Next up is Falcor. She was one of the free geckos I got from my old high school German teacher who was getting out of breeding. She's gotten way calmer since the first time I tried handling her. She's content to also crawl straight up my arm but won't sit still like Atreyu. She did not want to fire up for me at all (maybe 25% fired up).



Last but certainly not least is little Artax (the second of the two free geckos). She's the flightiest out of the group and most active in her KK. She was totally fired up for me and I was only able to snap a few pictures of her before she got way too squirmy and jumpy. She seems like she will be the most difficult to get hand tame... She is however, my best eater- which is good cause she's the smallest of the trio (only smaller than her sister by a tiny bit).




I'm going to get them a little more used to handling before I try weighing them. Everyone seems to be doing well though.
