Leopard Geckos
Whats up guys! I have got some new reptiles! I have 2 female Tangerine Leopard Geckos and a male Patternless Leopard Gecko! Their Names are Flash, Beyonce and Xerces.
Housing
Housing of Leopard Geckos is really quite simple however it is essential that it is done right. For a single Gecko you need at least 12 square inches so a 10 gallon tank is more than big enough. However if you want to house two together you want at least a 20 gallon tank. When you getting the tanks remember that leopard geckos do not climb very much so you do not need high ceilings. Like I said in the Tortoise Section I strongly suggest rubber maid tanks for these guys as well. However they can live in a aquarium much easier than the tortoises. For these guys you do not need a full spectrum light or any sort of heat lamp. However you are going to need an under tank heater to keep them warm and to help metabolize their food.
Feeding
Ok these guys are Insectivores, which means they live on insects. Some of their favorite foods include but are not limited to mealworms, wax works and crickets. I have heard a million different explanations as to what to feed them but my friends Marsha who owns and operates Golden Gate Geckos feeds her babies a staple of mealworms with the occasional cricket to keep them active. She always makes sure that the meal worms are covered in vitamin and calcium powder as it is impossible to gut load mealworms. If you guys have any questions comment!
Ok guys here is the secret to living with a women in a kind of harmony!
- “Alright, whatever you say.” – Absolutely vital you learn this phrase because u will use it more than u can imagine if you plan on enjoying your life.
- Chocolate Back Up – Always have an easy to reach stash of “bribe” chocolate for when PMS hits!
- Don’t ever say she looks like her mother… sorry Emma
- Just get frozen food
- Tell her she looks beautiful no matter what!
Dont get me wrong living with women is not easy but totally worth it in the end
Hell yes for Socrates!
Thats what I named my new Fat Tail! I got him off of craigslist for free! I will write later today to tell you what I have found for caring for them!
100 Years of Change
I did a project for my creativity class and thought that I should write a quick entry on our last 100 years because it is mind boggling. I cant hope to include 1% of the important happenings in the last 100 years but here are some then and nows that are mind boggling for me!
- THEN: Trench Warfare In Europe
- NOW: Tactile Urban Warfare supported by cruise missiles, satellites, flying gun ships and UAV
- THEN: Bi Planes
- NOW: Millions of people flying in 300+ people airliners. Flying anywhere in the world in 24 hrs.
- THEN: Racism, Discrimination, MLK, Malcome X
- NOW: Black and Female Presidential Candidates + “homies”, “urban” culture that is causing MLK to turn over in his undeserved grave. Go McCain!
- THEN: In the 60’s Sex, Love, Peace, Rock and Roll, Drugs
- NOW: Still Sex, less love, no peace, Rap and drugs for RLS but outlawed of all the good stuff
- Ok a little side note…. they need to outlaw alcohol and tobacco as they are proven killers of people and ruiner’s of lives and legalize marijuana as California could make almost a billion dollars if they could tax the sale of it and it causes no one harm. To quote Robin Williams we need more Atomic “Bongs” as appose to Atomic Bomb
Any way a little short post of then and now…. I will try to put my ppt up if I can find out how~! COMMENT PLEASE!
