So, I go into the pet store with the intention of getting crickets and goldfish pellets. I spot a tank with a sign saying "Leopard Geckos". i look and see two itty-bitty gecko tails peeking out of a log hide. I ask the store owner if he can lift the hide so I can see the geckos.
I shouldn't have asked. . .
I see two cute little itty-bitty leopard geckos. One caught my attention instantly. It was the brightest yellow I've ever seen, with orange markings on its legs, and the loudest hiss I've ever heard from something so tiny. I was in love.
I put a deposit down so they'll hold the gecko until I can pick it up next week. I want time to get an enclosure set up and to read up on caring for itty-bitty leos.
I have a feeling my critters will soon be taking over the house and I'll be living in the tool shed.
