Meet Henry!

[Kristi23]

I didn't plan on buying anything at the show this past weekend, but I fell in love with this little guy.

Awe! Congrats!!!

Very nice boy! Funny how those plans often don't work out.............. I tell myself no more leopard geckos, so bring home a gargoyle instead.

Very pretty... what's with the pink spot on his butt?

It's a marking from the breeder to tell them a part, it will eventually come off.

The pink dot ones were the higher priced ones in the tub.

What a beauty, I see why you couldn't pass him up, that's actually the color that I originally wanted.

Very nice!
Did you happen to get him at the All Animal Expo on the 5th?

Congrats on the new beardie.

Aww, so nice! Congrats! Now you make me even more impatience to get my first beardie (which is postponed for a few more months)!

Yes, that's where I got him.

Cool. I was there too and got my first snake... a spider BP

Congrats on your first snake! I try to make it to the show at least every other month.

 

[ReptileNinja101]

Thanks. I too also try to make it every month. lol

 

[RyuuKirin]

oh he's pretty!!

 

[Kristi23]

Thank you!

I really love him. He's so sweet and calm. Norman was such a spaz when we got him and he still doesn't like to sit still when he's out of his cage. Henry will just lay in my hand and let me pet him. He's been eating his collards and roaches with no problems. We gave him a bath yesterday. I'll post some pics soon.

My 3 1/2 year old, Norman, hates his greens. I'm lucky if I can get him to eat them once or twice a week. I'm hoping Henry will be different. I did see him grab for a roach, get a piece of collards instead, and then spit it out. Hopefully that won't become habit for him.

Have you tried different greens? Kirby prefers Mustard Greens...but other days he'll eat the Collard.

I usually always put the worms/feeders in their salad dishes so they'll pick them up

I've tried collards, mustard, and turnip greens. When he eats them, he prefers the collards. I've tried putting bugs with his veggies and he just picks around them.:main_rolleyes: He's super stubborn. I'll try to hand feed them to him and he'll turn his head and close his eyes. He can be a butt, but I love him anyways.
