Hi all! Thought I'd better introduce myself, I’ve been lurking and posting a little here and there for a while. I have pictures of my animals but I’ll add them later when I am home from work.
So around a year ago I got a carolina corn snake from a pet store, I have always adored snakes and I was finally old enough and in a stable enough condition money-wise to take the plunge. He was my first reptile and I absolutely adore him, he’s such a friendly little guy and so active <3 Unfortunately, he’s what I like to call ‘nomadic’ at the moment (he escaped shortly after I introduced him to his bioactive enclosure… I’m actively trying to catch him at the moment) but his name is Romeo and I love him.
Recently I rescued 3 giant pacific geckos, they were from an organisation that would have had to euthanise them if they didn’t find homes, I did a LOT of research beforehand, but there’s very little information on them as most sites talk about marginata care but not vorax, so I have had to work out a few things myself. I’ve never owned geckos before, but they are amazing little creatures and I love them all so much. It’s been a real learning curve and I don’t think you ever stop learning new things in this hobby! The two female adults are approx. 4/5 years old and their names are Mohanna and Bambi. Mohanna is chill and Bambi is freaking psycho and nothing like her namesake! Then I have a baby whom belongs to one of them (I’m not sure who) called Jiyah.
The newest arrival is Lucio, who is also the baby of one of the adults, but again, not sure who. He was ‘found’ recently in the seemingly empty enclosure he was being kept in.
None are handle-able as yet, but I am working on them. They are all a lot calmer and less flighty than they were when I first got them.
Anyway, sorry about the huge post, I could talk about them all day… Just wanted to say hi, and I look forward to seeing and learning about all your geckos!
