The egg-laying behavior would seem to speak to differing genetics. Their other differences can be explained by personality variation within a range of normality for the species. Other forum members with siblings have mentioned similar differences in personalities. The egg-laying behavior makes me wonder as well about their sires. Almost like polled and unpolled cattle. One calf might express natural hornlessness inherited from a polled bull while another calf from the same mother exposed to a horned bull might exhibit horns, whether the dam has them or not. Fun to speculate.

So you are very much a gecko fan just in general. Did you start with the little tiny ones and expand, or with a different species?

Man…they are small. A really precious. What made you decide on this species of gecko as pets?

[Zoodulcis]

Rango is good sized! And he looks to be a great weight and generally well socialized. Well done! Does Vivian handle him every day? And yes, it’s perfectly normal to fall in love with a reptile. Millions do it and I am surprised at the folks who think it’s weird. People fall in love with their birds, how is falling in love with your lizard or snake any different? 😏

[Zoodulcis]

I am not familiar with Whistle frogs. Do they indeed whistle?

Oh that is always fun to have siblings who are extremely different from each other. It provides hours worth of speculation as to ‘why.’ Genetics, brain chemistry, etc. Is one extremely social and the other quite shy?

[Zoodulcis]

Lizards are hugely charming! Beardies are very affectionate as well, so it’s not hard to fall in love. I’m guessing you got him about 2 months ago and then needed to take him home when the schools closed. Pretty soon you may want one all for yourself that stays home all the time! There is another teacher entering the contest for this month and she has had great fun getting students to participate. The more students that give a critter gold, the more likely you are to win. Perhaps the kids would get a kick out of helping out and it would give them something to do and a way to contribute to Big D’s welfare from the safety of their home computer.

He is one yellow dude! He seems to be going for ‘open mouth and insert cricket’ pose. How long have you had him?

[Zoodulcis]

Kevin does look pretty focused. He seems to be begging to out into that big world out there. Does he ever get to go outside, or is he a strictly indoor dragon?

[Zoodulcis]

Adorable, and very tiny. I believe you are the first forum member to post their Mourning Geckos. Will they get much bigger?

[Zoodulcis]

Very zen, and Ruby must be happy because I can’t see her anywhere. Is this a bioactive set-up?

[Zoodulcis]

And so she should or she would get fat! Smart girl and I bet watching her hunt hugely entertaining. Does she go after 5-6 at once?

[Zoodulcis]

Oh that’s a very cool little water fall. So you say out loud to them “Mommy’s Got Food,” and they start to croak? That’s just wild! How many are there and what kinds?

[Zoodulcis]

That sideways look says it all…”What’s the hold up on the crickets, eh?” How old is she?

[Zoodulcis]

So his grumpy face may be intentional. Do you try to handle him very much?

[Zoodulcis]

That was before the crisis, so that was lucky. How many crickets does Maynard usually eat this age each feeding?
