You guys and gals are great! Thanks for the kind words.

whats your secret? i have 4 leos and i want them to live as long as possible

[rcocker]

@SuperJmc2011 Low stress and consistency is the key. Don't change things about the food, temperature, water, surroundings. Dink was an awesome family member and was always watching us, but she was watching from a safe environment that never changed and I think that's why she lived so long.

@ rcocker

so sorry to hear about your gecko? but i have a question... your geckos tale is extreamly fat! my leo's tail isnt even half that size! can you explain?

aand was that a roach you fed it? if so are they better for geckos?

[rcocker]

@clainbro You'll see fat tails on old, well-fed, or over-fed leos, or leos that have dropped a tail in the past. I have no record of Dink ever dropping her tail but it sure looks like she did. In the vid she's eating a canned large cricket that I got from my local pet store. They're gut-loaded with nutrients and I fed her them for years. I personally think live crickets dusted with calcium are the best food for a Leopard Gecko.

what song is this

[rcocker]

@45bindy It's "Your Name in Lights" by Bryan Master off his Lost at Sea album. You can find him on iTunes or google bryanmastermusic.
