Meet Spot and Scratch
Spot and Scratch are two female leopard geckos that were adopted from a local reptile expo on March 18, 2018. They were juveniles when I bought them and I've been told by the vendor that they are Snow Bell morphs. At first glance they look alike, but they have different patterning that makes them easy to tell apart.
They've grown a bit since I've had them but they still have a lot more growing to do! They eat like crazy and I've had to stock up on feeders weekly or bi-weekly depending on how many I get. I use dubia roaches for their diet staple but also feed them crickets, mealworms, and occasionally other worms like waxworms. I'm a huge advocate for varied diet, it's very enriching for most animals. Spot loves to hunt while Scratch wants to sit and let me feed her all day.
Here's a video of them eating: https://youtu.be/kBCCndw68fY
My most recent endeavor is to start a feeder roach colony for them. I have been buying the feeder roaches from the pet store but it's common for them to be out of stock when I go. Thus I want to start breeding a steady supply. However, it's been difficult even to find a couple adult roaches for breeding so I've been learning how to sex the feeder nymphs I have and may just let them grow to adults and breed from there.
