September 2013 WEIGH IN

Well .. to say they were not in the mood to be weighed would be an understatement!

Lady M (as usual) got vocal ... but then was not really in a hurry to go back into her house ... many of the others did the gecko "bite" thing .... no damage but seriously? Sheesh ....

Oh well .. got the numbers ....



SYLVESTER - 22g in June ... now 35g

RED - 39g in June ... now 42g

GEORGE - 47g in June ... now 51g

ELVIS - 33g in June ... now 31g

LUCINDA - 41g in June ... now 43g

MAX - 55g in June ... now 53g

CHARLIE - 39g in June ... now 35g

COSMO - 42g in June ... now 43g

GHOST - 39g in June ... now 43g

LADY M - 5g in June ... now 13g



Yes some have gone down a bit, but not too bad really .... winter is coming soon so will see what that brings ... always hard with the heat & humidity ...

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.

Red has grown up ... sort of ...

My little mexican jumping bean is no more .... Red seems to have outgrown that phase ... and he has gotten bigger ...

He still is silly - like he dumps his dishes - but I think that is simply inherent in gecko DNA ... LOL

I went to see what the ruckus was, and he climbed right up my arm. No spazzy jumping, just hand to hand walking ... but calmer than ever. He sat still (perched on my fingers, of course) for most of an hour. I did get a chance to take a new video of him (see YouTube) and upload a pic of him to FBook. He tried to not go back in after his hour time, but I still had to eat my supper. Definitely a nice change in his behaviour.

Ah well, back to stuff ...

Tonight Movie Star: Elvis!

Tonight's star .... Elvis ...

Check the YouTube video stuff to see ....

Picky Eaters

Well I am not sure who is eating less, Elvis or Ghost.

Elvis seems to no want anything to do with the food he is being given, to the point he dumps his food dish out of the ledge onto the floor of his tank. He is starting to look really small so I am getting a bit concerned.

Ghost ... being new ... has yet to give any real indication of eating other than the poops in the tank, but even those are not really substantial. Lady M is new, but at least she is eating.

I got paid for some sales (woot) so I was able to place an order with Northern Gecko for food etc. I am hoping to figure which critter will eat which food, as I ordered some small bags of the flavoured variety to test. I am hoping to get them crickets this week too as it has been a while for that treat for them.

Well they are all doing their nightly party and weirdness so have fun kids!
