It won’t be too long before he will fit into a standard harness, should you so choose. Did you buy them as siblings from a breeder or hatch them yourself?

Your concern about choking is wise. It has happened. Mealworms are a readily available food but the not best choice for geckos, who have an amazingly short digestive tract. Mealworms are very chitinous and not tremendously nutritious so be sure to give those lizard kids some properly gut-loaded, small-sized crickets like the ones you can get from Critter Depot. Be sure to check out the guides I wrote on size and numbers of crickets and dubia roaches for leopard geckos for a little extra free info.

He certainly is well balanced 😆

Leo has some gorgeous coloration. Were the other two pictures of his brother and sister?

He does appear to be giving you the stink eye. Is this the same guy that was wearing the handmade fashions? If so he looks a lot bigger in this picture. And what is that thing on his nose?

[Zoodulcis]

Very resourceful. Looks like the two of you are enjoying a sunny day somewhere. How old is your little dude?

Good on ya, as the Aussies say. I think you are now well set up for success with this spontaneous reptile daddy gig. That being said, do not hesitate, yeah verily do not, hesitate to ask questions on this forum someone will get back to you within 24 hours.

I have to say it, this is a new one on me. Reminds me of a documentary called “Heart of a Lioness.” A lioness who had just lost both of her cubs adopted a baby wildebeest who was recently orphaned. By all rights she should have eaten it. But she raised it and they were inseparable for about a year. Then a male lion killed it and she cried and moaned for weeks afterward, looking for it in all their usual places to hang out. It was a real tear-jerker.

I will be so very curious to know how long this unlikely friendship between Jiminy Cricket and your beardie lasts. You may have to rename him Pinnochio!!

That’s just crazy!! And adorable. How long has this been going on?

Since it appears that they are young, you can count on frequent molting as they grow. Proper humidity is essential during those times. If you notice that their skins start to look a little dull and their colors are muted, they are probably starting to shed and will definitely require the proper humidity. This is especially important for their toes, as retained shed around the toes will constrict over time and toe loss is usually the inevitable result.

[Zoodulcis]

Looking great!! What are you doing about humidity levels?

[Zoodulcis]

Looking forward to the pics!

Hey maybe they are both juveniles and will one day be huge! Just kiddiing, but if you do have a male and a female you may be a lizard dad in another sense before the end of next year.

Funny how God created their heads in the perfect shape to hold a Santa hat in place 🤣

[Zoodulcis]

Two geckos! What are the odds?
