Gecko

My little pet dinosaur turned two a few days ago. She’s fully grown and can climb up glass without slipping which is mind boggling when you think its microscopic claws holding her up.

Our own little palm sized Crested Gecko (almost fully grown), but I like to think of her as a mini dinosaur.

Trying to keep this one out of brumation is proving more difficult than I though. They can lie dormant for long periods over the winter, sometimes a few months but the general advice seems to be to avoid letting them do it in optimal controlled conditions. She still comes out most days for a run around to keep her active and healthy.

Slowly approaching her first birthday, she’s almost full size. I love having a gecko in the house, completely harmless and great fun when she jumps between objects. It dawned on my a few days ago why I’ve always wanted a gecko as a pet. For those who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, you might remember the little alien Puckmaren from a film called ‘Flight of the Navigator’? I think that’s where it all began!

Sleep by day, play by night. She can get a little jumpy after feeding and misting. There’s been a few flying attempts that didn’t go too well.

My new obsession, so small and fragile but great fun to have.
