Hi Guys!
Long time lurker, first time poster :biggrin:.
I'm new to the world of reptiles, having acquired my first leopard gecko a little over a week ago. I got her from a local pet shop/rescue therefore I don't know exactly how old she is. The shop got her in last May and said she has only gotten a little bit bigger, so they estimate 2 or 3 years old. I picked her out of the other geckos because rather then immediately scrambling out of my hands like the others (for which I can't blame them. If a random giant picked me up, I'd probably run away too!) she was calm and then climbed up my sleeve and perched herself on my shoulder. I knew she had to come home with me! Even if it meant overcoming my fear of bugs (I'm getting better...)
Her full name is Rizzo but I usually just call her Zo-Zo or Zoey. Dunno why I don't just name her that, lol.
ANYWAY, I'm sure I'll be posting a lot of newbie questions shortly. Nice to (virtually) meet everyone!
