New Leopard Gecko

[MaximumOverdrive]

Been thinkin about it for a while, but finally got me a Leopard Gecko pet. Got him a nice terrarium, tho his hiding tube is from a paper towel tube lol, but it works and he likes it.

I don't have a name for him yet, but he's a very pretty lil lizard. If you can help me pick a name for him, that'd be awesome.





Sorry for the bad pics, only had my cellphone to use.

So cute! Grats.

This seems weird and probably a dumb suggestion but the color on his back(ignoring the orange) made me think of Gezz who I noticed you have as a pet! So imo either Ironhide(after yours) or Gezz(even though hes a boy) Hes too cute

What about Max??
I'm not sure why but that name stuck out when I saw him.

He's so cute!

Edit: I swear I didn't realize your name was MaximumOverdrive! I totally just saw that. Oh well I still think it's a cute name for him.

He's so cute! Reminds me of the one I had when I was young. I named him Graham after one of the guys from Monty Python hehe.

Not suggesting Graham as a name.. just reminiscing.

Very cute, I've always loved these little lizards

LOL! That was sooo funny to me XD I might do that...>.> Been rollin thru some names, one friend of mine told me to call him Heroman, heh.

What an adorable little guy! He looks like a jungle morph.

A word of advice, since you have him on sand don't let him eat the crickets or whatever you are feeding him off the sand. If he gets sand in his mouth and swallows it while getting his food it could potentially hurt him.
I don't like using sand but I have to right now for a short period of time, and I only feed my Leopard Gecko from tweasers.

He looks pretty healthy! My Leopard Gecko was purchased from a pet store and he was sick. The first one I got with him died from the illness, they were all very skinny and their tails where very thin. My boy just got over it a few months ago and is gaining weight nicley now... Where did you purchase your little cutey?

[Jangalian]

Daaaaaaawww how cute. He looks like a mango plum! I would totally name him in reference to the sunset, that's cause that what he looks like. Maybe like Dayanidi, or something.

Don't mind me, I adore fancy names.

He gets a cricket once in a while, but mostly mealworms in a dish. I've read sand is ok once they're a lil bigger (like...6" I think it was), but he still has a lil bit of growing to do.

I got my from Petsmart, I usually go there for pet stuff, nice peeps and they have shelter pets there too for adoption. It's just a good store that we have.

He is the cutest lil bugger, likes to crawl up my shirt lol, but he's got a sweet disposition.

I am glad you are enjoying your little guy!
I do like Petsmart! Mine came from Petco, and I have yet to see a healthy Leopard Gecko at our local one.

Leopards Geckos really are little characters, just wait until he really grows on you!

[MaximumOverdrive]

Some more pics of him...

Have gecko, will travel...hurrr...



He's crawlin on my keyboard...(tho right now he's hidin under it lol)



see if you can see his tail lol



his purty perch...nice and warm there with the lamp



Uh oh...kitty alert! Tho she's figurin out pretty quickly to not mess with him...doesn't mean she won't throw a fit, a noisy one at that, when she can't get to him lol...but she does get allowed a sniff or two XD

Awwww! He's absolutely adorable! I love reptiles; I used to have a pet green iguana, but leopard geckos are probably a more managable size for a household pet. If he is anything like an iguana, you won't have to worry about the cat for too long. Most cats learn pretty quickly that lizards are not something they'd like to eat. My iguana actually used to snuggle up with our two cats for warmth.

He's cute, inquisitive, and black and yellow. Why not Bumblebee, since you seem to like Transformers names?

I actually did have Bumblebee in my head at one point LOL

I used to take care of two iguanas for my science teacher in high school...sadly one died (she was a rescue and had been abused, tail was partly hacked off and she had burns on her body, and she was sick alot, we finally had to put her down). The other iguana was younger, about 2 feet long, and one mean lil fragger, hated everyone lol. He'd bite, claw, whip his tail at you (hit me straight in the middle of my face one time)...but after a couple of weeks of me takin care of him...I could actually reach into his cage without gloves and hold him...he'd fall asleep clinging to my shirt lol, so I'd sit in class most of the time with him on me or near me lol. And whenever he got out, the teacher would just wait for me to come in so I could get him without much fuss.

His name was Iggywannasaurus Rex...Rex for short lol.

I've always wanted a pet reptile of my own, but never could have one (whether it was parents or barracks rules), so this is pretty cool for me. I had frogs before, but this is a lil different.

Maybe I'll call him Double B for short, hurrrr.

OHHHH MMMYYYYY GGGOOOODDDD HE IS PRECIOUS! caps caps caps! Thank you for sharing the pics!!! I want one! My God, he is just too perfect and awesome!!!

[VelkynKarma]

Just watch, he'll think feign death means "loose yer tail and run!"

[VelkynKarma]

Well then it'll be his fault if he causes a wipe. Tell him to get with the program man, you gotta learn this acronyms or you look like a n00b.
