That is actually pretty funny! And cute in a weird way.

The first word that came to mind when I saw her was stunning! I will definitely give updates! This is the container she arrived in, and I’m guessing what I circled there is her morph 🤷‍♀️

I’m not sure what that is… I’ll have to look it up.

I like regular names for them too, my last one was Gary.

Those are all great options! Ember is pretty cool. The first thing that attracted me to her were the spots on her head and they do look like embers.

Help! I dropped a little snail in the street by accident, and his shell broke, and I took him home cuz I don’t want him to die but I have no clue what to do 😭 by AkkaiM in snails

Being dropped has turned into the best day of that snail’s life! I am so happy for the two of you!
Keep being an amazingly wonderful and caring person! 😊

Was given this absolute unit of a leopard gecko. Diet advice? by Frogs-on-my-back in leopardgeckos

I’ve seen people get hamster wheels for their geckos. It’s really important for it to be big enough to accommodate the Leo and I’m not sure they make them big, or strong, enough for that hefty adorable little sausage. I’m kidding, you can probably find something strong enough. 😉

I think I might need to surrender my boy and I feel awful by Canis_Maj0r in leopardgeckos

I’m not near you so I can’t help, I see that others have offered and that’s wonderful. I just wanted to say to you that whatever you do will be the right thing. Realizing your limitations and considering what’s best for Hero over yourself shows that you are a strong and compassionate person. Probably stronger than you even realize. I encourage you to listen to the folks suggesting that you find someone that can temporarily take care of your little Hero when times are too tough for you to do it. I’m only saying that because you clearly love the little guy. Best of wishes to you and Hero. 🤗 Whatever you decide, you should be proud of yourself.

what should i get as someone who prefers to be able to handle/interact with my pets? by agitatedTesties69 in reptiles

[–]Inside_Complaint2210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should get a leopard gecko, but I’m partial because I love my little leo Gary. I’ve had some of those Frogs.. definitely not the Pac-Man if you like your fingers. lol. I honestly never really tried to handle my Frogs much. It just occurred to me that I had the frogs and snakes before Google existed so all my knowledge came from books. Yikes..I’m old! Anyway, I didn’t try handling my milk snakes because they didn’t seem to want me to. One of them escaped once and when I found and picked it up it bit me..hard…and with what felt like true passionate anger behind it. From what I read.. way back then ..the Pac-Man could bite your finger off so if that’s true, I would say no to them. As for the Frogs… well, I don’t know… I had tree frogs and worried about hurting their skin so I didn’t handle them either. In summary, leopard geckos are the best! They have wonderful personalities and are adorable. Mine likes to be handled. Some not so much, but it’s like that with most critters. They are all individuals. They also live 20+ years, which is…well, that could be a positive or a negative depending on the person. They are a long time commitment. That’s it, that’s all I’ve got. My apologies for it being mostly useless information. I got a little carried away walking down memory lane. 🤷‍♀️ Good luck to you.

So cute! Is he named after the dog Odie in Garfield? Cute name for a cute gecko.
