Okay everyone I'm sorry I was gone for so long things sort of exploded here.....

I made a few calls and talked to a few local vets and due to some very indepth conversations I have now sent off for my Non-Profit license, my EIN number and I am well on my way to becoming a Reptile Rescue... the first "Official" rescue in NC....
I've taken in 6 ball pythons (one of which has neurological issues and cant turn left - like in Zoolander the movie - He is not an Ambi-turner) and now have over 30 leos some are pets some are breeders and now... some are rescues...
I have a young leo that has laid 3 eggs for me so far and is doing the "I've shed, I'm full, these eggs in my tummy are heavy and I'm going to lay on this warm rock" thing... so I expect eggs again in the next 3 or 4 days...

Needless to say it's been pretty darn hectic around my house.. oh yeah lets not forget my 18 year old daughter graduated, got a job in a strip club as a waitress moved out and has moved back home too all while I was away from GU *HAHAHA*

Anywho, there are a couple of new guys I'm really proud of that I thought I would share with you guys....

Raleigh Jade - Tremper Albino - Picked up at the show, she's a little thin in the tail area but not too bad - certainly no danger of starvation *HAHA*
Marley - Patternless that giggles - opens his mouth and makes a giggling sound every once in a while if you rub his chin.. ticklesh little devil
Luna - my blizzard eclipse - look at that lil chunky tail
Jack - my FEMALE rescue (named after a dead grandfather - I didnt have the nerve to tell them he was a she or to change "her" name after taking her in as a rescue) - she appears to be either a normal or a mack.... not sure which - but positive that she looks like she has MBD....
the last photo is my VERY FIRST healthy gecko egg! In the incubator... doing GREAT!


What do you guys think?
FEEDBACK WELCOME

Hey girl! I've been wondering where the heck you went to! Good to have you back. :)

Wow, life sounds like it's been quite interesting for you lately...

Congrats on your new additions. I, too, have added several geckos to my collection--I'm up to 23, soon to be 25 now! I also have two desert banded geckos soon to be mine, as soon as I get the money order mailed out!

I love Luna! :biggrin:

Jack looks like a mack to me--very pretty!

Well dont be jealous.. I have 31 leos now.... baby mac has grown up so much, he has 6 girlfriends that live with him now... he only likes 1 though... he and Loki have been baby-making fools! She had her first eggs on Augst 31st but I killed them :cry: (I didnt have an incubator and really was not prepared... besides, I dont think they were fertile.... but I cant be for sure) Either way, sure enough 24 days late BAM I got a pretty lil white egg ... just one... and then guess what happened.. Mac said "what my girl aint preggers.. let me fix that.. now that tummy is fat and hard and guess what I see.. yep.. two pearly white eggies in her tummy)... that boy.. he's a common teenager.. and well Ms loki she's a bit permisquous too *LOL*

I cant wait for the egg to hatch... seriously girl, I'm looking in that little window every day and I have a countdown going on *LOL* THANKSGIVING DAY I should have a baby gecko from my boy baby mac!!! (Thanksgiving is 11/27)

Anyway! Beautiful new babys! :D I so wanna hear Marley giggle! Sweet! Also, cool to hear you're becoming a reptile rescue! Although not much of a surprise lol.

glad to see you back here, and you have definitely been very busy. I think the rescue is a great idea. There's actually one in my area, don't know if they had to go with special license and stuff. Beautiful geckos, and Jack could be short for Jacqueline. We had a female cat, her name was Screwball, we called her Balls.... Any way, good luck with the rescue and the eggs.
