The name says it all
After a couple of days deliberation, I finally came up with a name, Marley, as in Bob. He’s so laid back the name just fits. As you can see, he’s a friendly little chap too, always wanting to come out and say hello!
My daughter kept the name Edwina for her leopard gecko. I must admit I didn’t like it at first but it’s grown on me (now that I’m past the image of a certain ex-politician of the same name). No pics of her yet as she’s still being shy but I expect that will change soon enough. Apparently the younger they are the more skittish they can be, so we’re giving her lots of time to settle in.
They both had their first treats of waxworms this week (yum), you’ve never seen anything move so fast! Not too many of those in store for them though as they’re very fattening, a bit like chocolate for us humans. Though I’m sure they wouldn’t complain if we fed them nothing but waxworms. Next up on the menu this week - cockroaches (double yum).

New arrivals
I’ll write more about this in the next few days, and I hope to grab some pictures myself soon but I don’t want to disturb them too much yet. So, without further ado, here are the two latest additions to our family, a pair of leopard geckos!
This one belongs to me, and he is a giant mack snow leopard gecko. No name as yet, but I’m working on it!
And this one belongs to my daughter, a present for her 15th birthday (though guess who will be feeding it locusts and such like!). She is a 6 month old female mack snow, possibly pastel, and so far the name Edwina is favourite for her.
These photos were provided by the breeder we had them from, hopefully I’ll be able to take some of my own soon. Watch this space.
