Evening all! Just thought i`d say hello to everyone as I predict i`ll be on here a fair bit looking for advice on what is best to do and whats best not to do!

I`ve just got my first reptile, an awesome Leopard Gecko, he`s around 14 months old and so far so good! He certainly loves Locust!

Well I`m sure this wont be my first post so speak to you all soon!

Dave

Default Hi

Welcome to the hobby mate, Give it 6 months and you`ll be eyeing up any available space in your house to see if a viv would fit there

Hope you enjoy your stay, although as other's on here will warn you it's addictive so your one leo might end up being a few more

Got any pics of the lil man?

haha! yeah that saying is becoming more and more true every day! I went to the shop this afternoon to get some wood to build a bigger Viv so I could get another Leo soon.

I`ve hopefully added a picture below. It`s not the best picture because it was taken with my phone but it will do for now! I will get a proper camera one day!

Here is my Gecko called Gex!(Very original eh!)

Definately addictive! I know few people who just stick to 1 animal! Unfortunately for me I can't have a huge collection due to working away
