For Christmas, Jon and I got Max and Seth a certificate to get a small pet at the pet store, preferably a goldfish. They were so excited! They really wanted a turtle. The woman at the pet store steered them towards a leopard gecko and once they saw it they decided that was the pet for them. They don't move very fast so they're easy to catch. They're pretty cute and sweet, if you can use those adjectives to describe a reptile. The boys just gently hold them and stroke their heads and I'm pretty sure the geckos are happy. The boys also get to feed them 4 crickets a day. That means we get to buy crickets every week and also buy food to feed the crickets. I didn't think I would like them, but so far they're not too bad. I think they live for 15 years which is quite the commitment. Guess they'll be taking them to college with them.
We had to buy them separate tanks because apparently they are territorial. We've got a BYU tank and a U of U tank.

Leopard Gecko's! What a fun gift for your boys! With two boys of my own...I'm bound to have gecko's at some point, right? Yikes!
The question I have is can I save 15% on my car insurance?
There is a man at the UPS Store that orders Gecko's and they come in a box...when he orders them he always keeps an eye out and shows up as soon as they arrive. He opened up his latest order and had 6 of them and I guess they breed them for different colors and things.
Cool geckos! What a fun gift.
Mom was telling us about these. Ask Seth if he finds that his Gecko is a girl when it gets older if he will change the name to Dashette? That's what happened to Calli's hamster. So fun! Can't wait to meet them in person!
