I have a fever...

[ramanth]

And the only prescription is more crested geckos.

Call the mental institute...
stat!

A soaking rain cancelled our plans to attend the Ren Faire, so instead Andy and I headed over to the Taylor Reptile Show. To look for supplies of course.

We spied this adult tailess gecko that looked like Nimrod's twin. We considered getting him, but when I went to hold him, he spazzed out majorly. Even after a few minutes, he still wouldn't calm down so Andy said, "no way".

Then the vendor brings out this guy and we just fell in love. I pulled him out of the container and he just sat in my hand licking my fingers. Calm as could be. Sucker is stamped on our foreheads. LOL!

So meet "blondie". Can't think of a good name for him yet. He'll be shedding soon, so these pictures don't really show his true colors. I think he'll get darker along the sides.







He likes vamps


And blondes


and brunettes!


He's a little boney around the limbs, but we'll fix that up in no time.

So ...
Is your 'fever' any better, now?

I'd think by this time Andy would have learned to cary an Ice Pack in
his pocket for these situations.

And just ONE?
Did poor Blondie have to ride home all alone?

Yep, looks like fever to me! He's so cute! I've never been a 'reptile' person, just not interested. But when you post pics I can't wait to see your little cuties!

He looks SOOOOO skinny - good that he came to a Pet Talk home! For some reason he looks like a Sven to me ...

[ramanth]

Thanks!

LOL Phred. The fever is better for now. We were only interested in adult geckos (most vendors had tiny babies - they sell faster) and Mr. Spaz and Blondie were the only two. So yep, just one this time.

Karen, he is skinny, but his ribs don't show so he's actually in pretty good health.

Well, with that title... why not name him Bruce Dickinson?
