This
is my Leopard Gecko, Ron! When I first got Ron at a few weeks of
age, I thought Ron was a boy and named her Ron Weasley. The smaller
picture is Ron's baby picture. It turns out that Ron is a girl and I
just tell people what happened and that I guess "Ron" can be short for
"Veronica." Even though Ron might be a little Gecko, she is very smart!
Ron knows when it's feeding time, she knows to lick her vitamin/calcium
power from a dish when she needs it, she knows my face and she knows her
own name. Ron right now is separated from her "love-to-be," Raine, an
albino leopard gecko, until Raine is old enough to be placed in with
Ron. (Raine is a baby right now). But Ron loves her home all to herself
for now. I like to take her out of her tank every day and just let her
rest on me to keep warm so I can look at her. I hope to get more then
just two leopard geckos eventually, because they are so easy to care for
and so adorable. :)
Anyone who is considering a leopard gecko should remember that Leopard
Geckos make great pets! Even supervised children can own a leopard
gecko, because they are very gentle and when adults they are extremely
laid back. I've found that the Albinos can be a little more touchy
though, Raine hisses at me. Other than that, Ron is an awesome little
girl and she can live up and over 20 years! I hope I have her for a long time!
