Our Leopard Gecko moulting

[LadyFlynt]

The kids were gifted a Leopard Gecko when Pedro the Chinchilla moved to Florida. He is a male name Spock (yes, as in the vulcan...ew, that just reminded me of V - The Final Battle, with the lizard aliens and all...)

Anyhow, I got one good shot at the beginning of the shed and it was interesting to watch as he would use his mouth to pull his skin off of his arms (it was like taking off a shirt). He ate it as he went along.

They're probably quite fun. My wife has a bearded dragon named Skylar (androgynous for a reason) who is very animated and fun to have around. It would be a lie to say that the animal didn't have a personality.

 

[LadyFlynt]

Yes, they do have personalities...and preferences (ours refuses canned crickets...they have to be living or he won't touch them).

 

[Zenas]

Ours loves hunting his own crickets as well.

weird and interesting.

That's a really well-taken photo.

Great pic

That is just really disgusting!

 

[Pergamum]

Looks like he's wearing a clear plastic rain poncho with a hoody. A fashionable guy, isn't he?

 

[LadyFlynt]

That is just really disgusting!

There is always one that thinks that. Disgusting, but cool!

 

[LadyFlynt]

Looks like he's wearing a body-suit that has a hoody.

It came off like a bodysuit also. The coolest part was watching him hold the skin with his mouth and pull his arms and legs out of it...it was like pulling off a lady's glove.

 

[LadyFlynt]

LOL...no, picturing those long socialite gloves that ladies of a certain class used to wear.

Cool gecko! A good friend of mine has a gecko that makes really cool noises if you hold it wrong.

My mother loved that V mini-series. She was a real sci-fi junkie.

I never knew my mother's gloves were socialites. I know she has class. I have many memories of her donning gloves before church or going out to town.

I'm guessing you've done it

I liked it also It came on at least a couple of years in a row. My stepdad, my eldest son, and myself are all sci fi junkies.

Your mama went out in the day with the long ones on? Church gloves are cool...I'm afraid I would be looked at rather strangely (not that I'm not already) if I tried to wear those.

Heavens No! The long gloves, to the elbow or longer, were reserved for evening only. The gloves she wore to church were not always short, however. Depending upon the length of her sleeves they might go up to the middle of her forearm.

I know I'm crazy, but I miss the days when women dressed like women and men dressed like men; when women wore gloves and men wore hats.

I totally agree! (and the evening ones were what I meant by "socialite"...to fancy dinners and balls, etc).

What do you mean? Our cultural dress code has just changed a little. Now our women where sweatpants with "hottie" across the butt and our men wear WWE shirts. The problem is...?
