Heck Tate and Calpurnia - Gargoyle Pair

For the first time I finally have an up-and-coming gargoyle gecko pairing!

A few months ago I purchased a lovely female gargoyle from Kris_S here on the forum. The gecko arrived today, and I snapped a few pics before putting her in her new cage. She is a retic with a lot of pink and orange, which I quickly discovered is difficult to capture on camera! I think she will go well with my black and white retic, Heck Tate. They both have crazy pattern.

WOW!!! She's AWESOME!!! I love her, and am envious!! Congrats on your fabulous new addition!

I think they're both fantastic and can't wait to see what you can produce from them. Good luck!!

Thanks, guys. On the other forum--Pangea--everyone was kind of like "oh, the female is better than the male--you need a different male," which annoyed me since I bought the female for the male in the first place! They told me I should just breed my male to a black and white female. Guhh, that's boring. I prefer a surprise. If it doesn't work out then maybe I'll listen to them--but personally I think both have hot patterns and don't see why they can't make sweet babies!

Poo on them! Sometimes people on the forums are just weird, or too eccentric! I started reading a thread on geckoforums that someone had posted about a leo juve not eating for three days and they had only had it a few weeks. It was crazy. It was like, "another update- she came out and got a drink!" "Another update- she came out and went to another hide!" "another update- she came out to poop!" "another update- she opened one eye!" This post was like 5 pages long, and mostly of the poster giving every single detail of this gecko's life.. "I tried moving this hide to another spot" "I tried a new feeding dish!" I just wanted to post.. " JUST LEAVE THAT POOR GECKO ALONE AND IT WILL EAT WHEN SHE'S COMFORTABLE! YOU'RE STRESSING HER OUT!" Lol.

Anyways, I'm still over your new girl! Can't wait to see her later!

Haha that's really funny. I have seen posts like that on Pangea. People will monitor every bit of fecal matter and spend hours discussing it. : P

It was really fun getting to see her, and Heck Tate, and the new snakes! Calpurnia was sweet!
