12 1/2. :)

[Allee Toler]

Adellah is 12 1/2 years old (May), and crabby as hell. She loves nothing more than to eat roaches and mealies, sleep, climb, and be left well enough alone- so I do. I added some new plants to her tank.

I got the shed off her mouth after the photo. :lol:

And this is what happens when you move her to clean her enclosure.

She is so awesome! I love the tank set-up!

Ouch!!! But I guess when you're 12 1/2 you've maybe earned the right to be crabby as hell ;-) Congrats on having her so long!! Her viv looks great!

I've only had her a little over a year and a half. The woman I got her from said she had her 11-14 years, so I went with the lower amount. When she gave her to me she had a double eye infection and a URI. Took about two months to get her completely healthy again. I have scars on my hands from those two months of handling. Lol. Because she couldn't afford the vet she gave her to me.

She's very... herself? I enjoy having her. She's fun to watch. Some of my other geckos like to be out and held and explore, but she just wants to walk around, climb, eat, and do her own thing. One of two things happen when you pick her up. A. she bites you. B. She poo's on you.

one question, what is a URI?

and my geckos both poop on me if i leave them out too long haha :roll:

 

[Allee Toler]

My geckos don't poo on anyone, except for Addy. They're on a schedule. I feed them and around 24 hours later they poo. I never handle them after 8pm since I feed them around 9pm every other night. I've never had a gecko poo on me either, until Addy.

A URI is an Upper Respiratory Infection. I had to get her on oral antibiotics and eye antibiotics.

Wicked!! I'm liking your set up. I have had a leo for about 6 months and she is also 10+ and quite interesting. She likes crickets but cannot move quickly enough to catch them. Loves silkworms but will not eat a butter worm. The only times I get bitten are when my fingers look like worms.

I hope you two have many more goodtimes together

Also how often do you feed yours

 

[Allee Toler]

She gets fed whenever she's hungry. I have a dish in her tank I keep roaches in 24/7. She's not much of an eater... I'm refilling her dish maybe once a week with 30 nymphs (1/4").

How big is she @ 12½ years old?

I haven't weighed her. I'm kind of scared to... I'd guess about 90g but she's pretty tubby. She's almost 9" long if I compare her to a slate tile she lays on. Pretty average girlie, except hella mean. I love her anyways.
