I got a new Leo! He's an adult male, just like the one i already have(NOT keeping 'em together). He looks almost just like my other one, except he's quite a bit smaller.. No idea why. He doesn't look too extremely skinny or anything. I think the Leo i already have must just be freakishly big. The new one's also got a bit more yellow, i think.
I got him because one of my teachers at the college told me that her friend had a gecko that her kids were neglecting, and she was looking for a home for him. So i called her up and got the Leo + setup for free! I did need to go out and buy a CHE and proper heat lamp, though(she didn't give me a heat bulb or anything with the lamp, so i don't know if she was using it or not.. but, the one they had had a plastic socket instead of porcelain, so i needed to get a new one to make sure it doesn't melt or anything with the CHE), and i put in an extra hide box since he only had one. I just got him on saturday, but he ate up the cup of mealies i put in there yesterday, so he seems to be doing great.
Now i just need a name. Here he isss:
And here's my other Geck, Godzilla, for comparison:
