Our Pets

Well we went from one dog to 3 and now TJ has added a gecko to the list....Dixie came first then I had to have another dog and we got Harley or as we call him Dumb Dumb and Princess is our Foster but we love her dearly with her one eye, no teeth and gimpy ass leg! LOL! Now TJ has a gecko that he calls gecko; he refuses to give it a real name....not sure why but it's his and I could really care less what he calls it! :-) He loves this little sucker!

The gecko is a slow mover; another reason for this choice he can not really get away nor does he choose too; he really likes to just hang in his rock house..........He has a heating blanket that attaches to the underside of the tank and warms the sand etc and he has his rocks and logs to hide out in and we mist the thing to keep it humid and have the gauges to watch the humidity levels....He can only have it on the floor in his room with the door closed; so far I don't even think the dogs have noticed; all three of them are in their own worlds!
It ests live crickets but thankfully my mom got him the bug gun and habitat for christmas so we keep the crickets in the habitat and suck them up with the gun and dump them in to the cage for feeding time...we bought 20 crickets...
Soon in the mail we should be getting his catapillers for him to grow his own butterflies; he got the butterfly kit for easter; my mom calls him steve irwin! LOL!
