I need to share this. I made emets food and turned around to get my phone. He showed me that this is his food with a tiny feet protecting it. He was looking so proud, as if he had made it and not me
I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE TUMBLR TO MY NEW SON IM SO SORRY
this is nugget (short for chicken nugget) and he is my entire personality now
got him at an expo last weekend from geckogen, who was hands down the nicest, most helpful, and most gracious breeder i've ever had the pleasure of buying from, highly recommend
this is the first lizard i've had in like 10+ years and man i suddenly have a lot more sympathy for the newbies freaking out about the most basic shit about balls and corns LOL
roommates also got a baby so here's my niece Agatha (her white people name because she looks like a grandma doily, otherwise known as Asmaa'). she's a vanilla scream that we got, frankly, a stupidly good deal on. a little underweight for my liking and has a bump on her nose from rubbing, but we can fix that. we also saved her from getting bought by an Influencer TM type lady who only wanted her because she matched her furniture :V
first one is a kitten cave that seemed too bright on the inside for his taste -- Foxtrot seems to prefer dark spaces (hence why he's hiding in the bag in the third pic)(usually he's all the way inside).
i sewed some black cloth to the inside of the kitten cave and he used it for the first time today! he's been sitting in it for at least an hour now, probably longer lol. but I'm so glad he likes the new improvements i made!
(he's currently sleeping in it, eyes closed and snork mimimi-ing. i love him so much.)
Gershwin has settled in for a week and had his first handling session today! Had a bit of dog food on a spoon so he could willingly walk onto my hand which he did. He was fantastic! Let me touch and move him while he ate. He did (very thoughtfully and slowly) bite my thumb to see if it was food (it was not!) and he was easily and gently removed. 10/10 Gershwin, good job!!
