Hello everyone! So we finally got a pet. Technically this is our 2nd pet, with a Rabbit being our first. I hated that Rabbit, since it just lived in our back porch area, and was so destructive. We could not have any plants in its reach since it would devour anything it could get it's furry feet on. So I really never looked at that Rabbit as a pet. The only thing I did appreciate was it's poop. The poop from a Rabbit is great as fertilizer since you can apply as is. Most poop you need to let sit for at least a couple weeks before using. This is because it is nutrient rich, and will burn your plants.
But I digress. Meet Gary The Leapord Gecko. He is 3 years old, and was gifted to us from a family on a Facebood Free page my wife is apart of. We just had to pay a 30$ rehomeing fee, just to make sure we where serious, with good intentions. After we picked him up, we then went to Pet Smart, and bought a few more items for the Aquarium. Plus some Crickets. So far he seems very happy!
We always wanted to get some type of pet, and this oppurtunity presented itself at the most perfect time. Today my son Isaiah turns 8 years old, and we are letting him take care of Gary so he can have more responsibilities. He loves lizards, and so far is doing a great job. Although it has only been 24 hours, lol.
If you have a reptiles as a pet, please let me know what you think, and if you have any special things you like to do for your lizard, or any tips. All comments aprreacitated. Thanks for checking out my post. :)
