Snuggles, my Crested Gecko was how my whole entire herp life started... Well, actually I had a painted turtle for about 7 years named tor. Also for a couple mounths I had a tortoise named tur. Then after letting Tor go, (Tur escaped while my sister was wathcing him (even though he moved at 2 1/2 miles per hour) about 4 years before) I caught a much smaller painted turtle and named him Camel (long story). I kept him for awhile then gave him to a friend as a birthday present (where he currently resides today). I also had alot of leapord frogs, common toads, and gray treefrogs growing up. But I never truly got introduced to the heptological world until I met the wonderful Creste Gecko at the pet store I had just gotten hired into. I fell in love (in a matter of speaking). I would walk around with him on my shoulder, preaching about the newly aquired information I had learned from the Reptiles annual. I got "obsessed" you could say. And I read everything about them I could. Every single care sheet on the inernet, every standard gecko care sheet, talked to tons of people. And I finally got him. At a very resonable price too. He was just a hatchling, only a week or 3 old. I took him home and cared for him. And so began my obsession with herptiles. Especially Rhacodactylus. Right now I feed Snuggles mostly Pears baby food. On weekends I usually do Peaches. Sometimes I feed him chicken, for the protein. Also for extra kicks and giggles I feed him tooty fruity. One time when I was out of baby food I fed him creme savers strawberry and creme yogurt, which he delightfully consumed. About once every other week I feed him some heavily gut loaded crickets. Now without further adoo. I will show you a collection of pics of my prized Crested Gecko...
