New Gecko.

I just got a Panther Gecko (Paroedura pictus). Anyone else keep this specimen?

I'll get some pics once it settles in.

Here are some quick shots I took before my camera died.

Tail to me seems really thin, hopefully after some waxworms I can fatten him up.

 

[evilxyardxgnome]

I already got him to eat a few mealworms. This is great, my biggest fear was I wouldn't be able to get him to eat.

Does look a bit of a thin tail, but nothing a bit of TLC wont cure! Looks awesome, pretty little things. Just the one?

 

[evilxyardxgnome]

Yep. And I believe its a male. Im not quite sure if you can see the bulge on the base of the tail from the pics but I guess thats the way to tell if its a male or female with these guys. He was the bigger of the three that I chose from. The other two in the cage were thin as a pencil. Looked kinda sickly. Even though they had the better of coloration, but I didn't want to risk it being sick.

mmm is always a risk. I guess you could have asked to see them feed... a lot of places just dont bother and hope to sell them quickly... feeding is an expense some places choose not to have...

Cool little guy. Has he tried to sell you any car insurance?

 

[evilxyardxgnome]

You know, he did try and tell me I was paying too much already...
