I still have plenty of red pangea for my mournings. because they eat very little,,

but I got a new flavor of a different brand because I like variety. so I just gave my mournings two bowls with old pangea and the new brand. the new brand was approved by hand sanitizer and cardboard didn't feel like exploring new flavors. I think that pretty much means they like both which is good yay

also caught cardboard on camera last night. I'm hiding her under the cut because her tail is growing and it doesn't look visually pleasing.

awful creature

FINALLY CAUGHT TOOTHPASTE ON CAMERA YAY. LOOK AT HER STUPID BLUE RE-GROWN TAIL

[geckotailsoup]

OK I WAS MISTING THE MOURNINGS. AND THEN THIS THANG FELL FROM. MY HAIR??

WATER BOTTLE HOW DID YOU GET THERE AND WHEN

[geckotailsoup]

okay, so. I got a lot of crickets (should have gotten more I'm realizing), as well as some hornworms and locusts. I didn't get a new terrarium and I don't really like what cardboard's quarantine box looks like at the moment hmm. I'm going to think about it

[geckotailsoup]

the quarantine box has mold... idk maybe I should move cardboard back because idk how I clean it without getting the gecko out somehow. and there's not much point in cleaning it when the mold would grow again because the ventilation is bad.

she doesn't show any concerning behaviors and her stupid tail began growing. so I'm thinking. considering even

[geckotailsoup]

decided to move her into the terrarium early by the way. she's doing fine

[geckotailsoup]

uh oh another one hatched

idk it's late. her name is water bottle or smth

[geckotailsoup]

a couple days ago I set up a cricket bin with the crickets I got from the reptile expo. I hope they do well, because a lot of them died of heat ough. also I hope no parasitic flies this time around. also I hope the substrate I gave them would work for breeding because I'm unsure actually

[geckotailsoup]

my brother showed me wording in a book asking what it means, and I said it was weird rarely used wording.

since yesterday, I encountered that wording twice. I think might have been wrong saying it's rarely used

[geckotailsoup]

I got a chance to see the baby mourning that's still in the terrarium. it's the second hatchling with a regrown tail

naming her peculiar toothpaste since there was a suggestion when sauce hatched

I came up with a cool idea to feed my mournings without crickets getting all over my terrarium and my table, but unfortunately my mournings cannot comprehend the concept of transparent plastic

[geckotailsoup]

the expo went amazing. now I hope my 400 feeder insects won't die of heat before i get home hopefully in four hours

[geckotailsoup]

so initially I thought of getting another mourning gecko at the expo, but cardboard is back and she's doing amazing, and there's a baby gecko in the terrarium and sanitizer bullies her constantly. so I think I don't really need another one.

I wanted to get isopods, but I already preordered some, I'm waiting for the breeder to reach out when they're ready to send them.

I need a new small temporary terrarium for mournings in case I would decide to keep babies separated from adults, because my current one that's now occupied by cardboard has a really bad ventilation system.

and I NEED feeder insects. I have zero crickets at the moment and the next feeding is tomorrow. perhaps no cockroaches this time, my lizards aren't used to them.

and I think that's all. merch from artists and some miscellaneous stuff maybe

[geckotailsoup]

I'm going to a reptile expo tomorrow yay. drawing this comic in advance because I know I'm going to stay up past bedtime as per usual. and so will my friend. as per usual
