Day 1 At Home

After setting up the Gecko's habitat we looked of the care sheet provided by PetCo. One point really stood out. It reads, "In getting to know your Gecko keep handling to a minimum. Over handling can cause stress". Stress in this case relates to a heart attack. So I stressed this on my sons. But the only stress a 6 and 3 years old really understand is when they have almost waited to long to go the the bathroom or they can't find their favorite cartoon. So, let the games begin. By later afternoon my boys named the Gecko "Thing". After Thing from the Fantastic Four. Shortly after they built a LEGO fortrus for Thing; which they blocked him in for hours. Still it survived with out LEGO heat lamps. By the way we have no idea of its gender. Our PetCo sales person said he had his Geckos gender identified three different times by a specialist resulting in 2 different answers. He kind of alerted me because I was afraid he was going to say he got 3 different answers.
