Quick Post

Just a quick note ...

Put the new decorations into the various tanks tonight with interesting results.

Sylvester seemed to just stare at his decor of hanging vines, as if trying to figure out where they had appeared from.

Red seems to be taking his 2 new hanging vines and twisted vine all in stride.

Ghost ... well he has more things to hide behind which should suit him fine since he is still adapting and adjusting.

Lady M enjoyed her new decor and seems to be adapting well. She doesn't run and hide when I do the nightly sprays. She has also gone from 5g to 10.5g in about 7 or 8 weeks.

Update Aug 13

Well ther have been some positive things of late....

A few of thrm liked the banana flavored food, but more of them seem happy to be back on the regular stuff. In a couple of weeks I will see how they handle the mango flavor.

I have noticed that Sylvester is not so much "what ya doing?" in the mornings, and it would appear to have been a phase he went through. I am still waiting though to see if he is indeed a he or not. There seems to be no issue on what he will eat ... he devoured the food in front of him without a worry. He does seem to be making "friends" with Lady M in her tank that sits besde his, but as yet I am not sure if it is a best-buddies thing, or a making-eyes thing yet ... it may even be a territorial thing. It will take more time to know ....

Lady M has a habit of squaking at me when I go to handle her, but she is getting better at things. The last time I picked her up she didn't complain. Mind you, she was a bit distracted with her neighbour. She seems to be settling in just fine, eating and whatnot. The only odd ting is she runs for her hide when I spray them at night. I figure she will adapt sooner or later to this all ....

Ghost as well is settling in now, even though we were off to a slow start. It took a while for him to come out, and even then he would hide as soon as I came near or opened the tank door. He is eating more now, and he actually did't bolt when I opened the door to spray tonight. He just sat there, working on last night's food. I hope to soon be able to handle him, even if it is just a few minutes.....

Well thats it from me and the critter crew .... more vids and weight updates soon!

A visit with Lady M

I have noticed Lady M and Sylvester hanging out a bit more than before - as best they can - after I swapped their tanks's places. She does this upside down type thing towards the lower part of her tank, and he does this upwards thing near the top of his .... around where the two tanks's glass walls meet ...

They sat like that for over an hour last night ... but oddly not so much tonight .... I am not sure if it is a best buddies thing, if Sylvester does turn out to be a female ... or if it is pre-love thing if he is a male. Either way it is both cute and a bit creepy ... even for geckos LOL

Speaking of Sylvester, he has yet to show if he has the male goods or not. It is still undetermined what he is ... but it is looking more and more like Sylvester may become Sylvia .... or Priscilla ...

On a good note, I have notice both Elvis and Ghost eating a bit more than before ... but it is not yet enuff to reduce my concerns. I am hoping to get them all crickets on Sunday as a treat so that may help too.
