I introduced a few of my fish awhile back, but I have a reptile too.. just a common leopard gecko. She's about a year old now and pretty darn fat. Here's a few photos...

Before shedding:


After:



She lives in a 30gallon tank with a bit of driftwood and a humidity-box. My mom had a fit when I brought this "gross thing" home :)
 
I've got one....He's about 8yrs old now. 10in male. He eats all kind of stuff, crickets, grasshoppers, cicadas, praying mantis, snakes, spiders, fuzzies and pinkies, blue-tailed skinks, centipedes and fence lizards. He's at my parents house in the country so thats where we get his food in the woods.

Yep he sure does. I would find those small brown snakes, they were probably about 7-8 in long and non-venomous. And I fed him all kinds of centipedes some were really big and red and some were a bluish color (maybe they had just molted or something). I mean ever since I got him I had been feeding him prey that fought back...LOL...so hes used to killing his prey quickly. Never fed toads or millipedes cuz their toxic. Tried to feed him a few frogs and slugs but he prefers drier crunchy foods...LOL. You should of seen his face when he bit a slug the first time. None of his food items came into contact with pesticides he's perfectly healthy and doing just fine.
 
AttackFish: Thank you :) I really like my Lep, I want to get her a friend but don't have the funds to buy one big enough she won't try to eat or out compete for food :irked:

Yoji: I love when she sheds! I remember I couldn't figure out where the skin went until I saw her eating it...kinda gross, but very efficient...neat behavior.

Connor: lol...I love that they do that. It's so weird to me that a lizard is "tidy." but makes clean up easy.

Sevendreamz: That's an insane gecko! Mine isn't very adventurous with food..she likes wax & meal worms.. won't try much else, and sometimes she won't even eat those! It has to move and then she has to taste test it first. oi! That'd be cool to watch a geck down a snake...have any pictures of the big guy?

RallysB1tch: Yeah, I let her climb all over me..she's pretty friendly. The only time she ever "bit" me was when I didn't drop a wax worm fast enough...

ChevyMan: Thank you :) If you get a new one post pics up.
