[tracilicious]

Cool KB! I've been meaning to post about my new green baby, so I hope you don't mind if I put it in your thread.

I got a baby speckled gecko! We were in the pet store to buy our big giant fish some little fish "friends" and the guy was feeding the baby speckled geckos. He had this little guy on his hand with beautiful orange coloring. I totally fell in love. I've always liked reptiles, but never expected to fall in love with one. I didn't want to make an impulse buy though, so I went home and researched and went back the next day to buy one.

He is about three inches long and nine-ish months old. He is really slow moving and loves to jump from hand to hand. He is a fruit eating gecko, so half his diet is tropical fruit, the other half is crickets and such. We named him Gromit.

On a side note, the lady that sold him to me said to be sure to have an area that the crickets can't get to so that they won't attack my lizard. What?!?! Apparently, crickets will bite lizards if they get the chance. I already hated crickets. This doesn't help.
