    Name the Gecko ?

    I have a friend who found this gecko but I don't know what kind it is at all. She's not a herper herself so she is as clueless as I am. I can only email the pic to a responder here and maybe they can get back to me on what it is and what colour it's called ? I can't get it to fully download...

    ahhh ... yes she is in cypress. What would be a better substrate ? I examined her to the best of my ability prior to purchase and I never saw mites on her at all. Kemp

    My Redfoot has only been in her new home for less the 24 hours and she's examined everything, ate all her apples and lettuce and did about 10 laps around the enclosure. She's actually on the move now. Just wandering about. Kemp

    The tank substrate was cleaned before she was put in and there aren't any real plants in it except for her food which was washed. The previous animal in the tank was also completely clean from parasites, bugs and everything else.

    My New Tort Finally Ate!!

    my tortie ate as soon as her feet hit the floor of her tank! She's a lil piggy for MacIntosh apples and Romain lettuce. Not too thrilled with carrots and doesn't seem to think the timothy hay is for eating! Kemp
