I can't imagine what our cat would've done had we still had him (re homed him with my mom due to Dans allergies). Edgar doesn't really care. When he's running around on the floor he'll stop in front of the room way out of reach and kinda peer in but then he's onto bigger and better things. However, when Emily, our girl dog, gets zoomies he gets really upset and comes out of his hide, stands all stiff like a bulldog and stares her down. He does NOT like any ruckus going on around here! It's really funny!

I imagine Eclair might wish to climb the big furry creature? Lol!

She probably would! But she's still too young, fast and unpredictable to be anywhere near the cat yet (much to cat's dismay). Donut does the stare-down too whenever I'm doing stuff like unpacking a box or moving things around or cleaning. He pokes out of his hide like "HEY YOU KIDS I'M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!!!" and then when the noise is over he slowly backs in and goes to sleep. If he could, he would probably huff at us :>

This was such a wonderfull story to read!! I hope you continue to post updates, Titus is SUCH a gorgeus boy, it is truly amazing how much he's grown, he is over 40 grames and looks fully grown, however, 2 months ago when you rescued him he looked like a very young gecko, perhaps he was stunted? or he is just growing incredibly fast!!

Thank you, Saskia! :) He was 10 grams when I got him and has been putting on a steady 4-6 grams a week. He was 46 g yesterday. I think he is still young, as I was *just* able to see femoral pores like 3 or so weeks ago I guess that was. He is growing like a weed! Everyone I show his before and after pics to swears that isn't even the same gecko. I'm sure he was stunted at the store, and seems to be a healthy size for his age at this point. He's got great bounce back.

Good lord, he's shedding again LOL! They were both grumpy this morning and didn't want to come out to eat so I just fed T and he's all whitish again. Likely tomorrow he will start to rub it off, as it doesn't quite look ready yet. He had a 6 gram gain last week so I'm sure he's making room now! ;) I'll put his shedding rock back in tonight...

Looked in on him last night and he was still whitish. This morning he is 100% clean! I didn't have to help him and there's no stuck pieces anywhere. So proud of him! I think he's finally got the hang of it. Oh and he had the biggest poo I've ever seen! :O

Yay! Good boy! Haha, sometimes you get that one huuuuge poo. Little Eclair's poos are usually double the size of Donut, makes her seem a lot less ladylike~

Eating blue bottles

I tried them out in a pringles lid since T's not real fond of the sloped side glass bowls and surprisingly they circled the rim and only tried to get out once when a bunch of them piled up in the same spot. I don't think I'd leave them in there the whole day but it's a nice way to feed in the morning if I'm in a hurry and need him to feed himself (god forbid). :)

Def sucks to walk into a store and see all those helpless little guys. Props for taking the extra step to save her!

Had a record weight gain this week. T is 54g now. Talk about a growth spurt! Not even Edgar ever gained 8g in a week. I'm amazed where he puts it. :)

Shed again today. I like that this thread helps me keep track of things lol. I did pull the shed off his head though just because he looked like the saddest panda ever. I let him get the rest off his front foot though. It didn't come off in one piece this time.

If you want a really easy and tidy way of keeping record, you could always try iHerp! :3

T is up to 59g. He ate 20 bbfl and was still hunting around so I threw two roaches in and he ate those too. Edgar is going into shed so he refused his normal daily roach, and unenthusiastically nipped at a blue bottle before eating it. My boys are so different. :)

I'm hoping to order their cages in the next week. Need to see how money is. I'm planning on putting in a lot of driftwood in T's because he just climbs everything and doesn't stop. He tried to climb the drapes last night and would've accomplished it had "mean momma" not pulled him off haha!

He sounds like he's doing amazing! I'm glad.
And that reminds me of Kalipso, she won't stop pooping on her warm hide. :angry:

He is a beautiful gecko, I'm glad you saved him! It's incredible how much he has bounced back from his ordeal at Petco.
