While Chico the day gecko has already enjoyed much of your attention, this nameless young leopard gecko lady has kept very hidden until now. Along with Chico, she is one of the three geckos I adopted two months ago. Unfortunately, the previous owner was not in the mental state to offer them species-appropriate accommodation. He kept two leopard geckos in a terrarium together with a day gecko. Actually, his supervisors should have taken care of it, whether that's okay. The surprise was big, because my friend and I didn't know anything about the leopard geckos. But the good thing is that I have 22 years of experience keeping this species. At first there was a huge shock because it seemed like only one leopard gecko was alive. Both were in a large sea shell, looking out. But this girl looked like she'd been dead for weeks. To play dead believably, she shut her eyes tight, opened her mouth a little, and contracted her body. When I got the male out of the sea shell, she authentically fell inside and disappeared. When I first heard a noise, I thought I had just imagined it. Dead geckos don't make sounds! What a feeling when she suddenly looked alive and beautiful out of the sea shell! Like all my animals, she is a very beautiful sight. Nothing is known about her age and origin, but she looks to me like a young animal of about one or two years. As soon as I have a few nice photos of the male, I will of course also show him to you. 🥰 --------------------------- ↪ FOLLOW ↩ 🙎 #megagroundsloth 🦎 #megapetsloth --------------------------- #talesfromthecrypt #geckosmile #petphotography #babyanimal #leopardgecko #leopardgeckos #geckoleopard #lizards #lizardsofinstagram #geckolove #süß #reptile #playingdead #hessen #reptilekeeper #homejungle #haustieremachenglücklich #tierlieb #eublepharis #taunus #petlizard #haustier #cutepet #tierbabys #petcare #terrarium #meinhaustier #scalesandtails (hier: Oberursel) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm3ozUkNuPb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
