Which of the residents have the nicest temperaments?
This is such a good question I had to take new pictures for it to do it justice. Thank you, anon! Of course, there’s no way only one can be picked, so I’ll give a bit of a house fave line up.
This guy is a tiny bit stand offish when bothered, but he makes up for that with raw curiosity when he’s relaxed. He’s a bit smaller than a lot of my other males and has a bit of a juvi look still that adds to his cute. Whenever I’m doing anything nearby he’s got to check it out, watching what’s going on with his little mustache face.
Dagur! Best Mind Your Own Business!
This guy has been top of the fave list since he got mature enough to stop being scared all the time, and he’s still right up there. This guy is the whole package. He doesn’t make a huge mess of his home. Doesn’t flip his hides. Doesn’t get wet hide substrate all over every surface. Poops all in one corner. And he’s a calm boy who doesn’t mind a bit of handling and even a little head petting.
Mars! All Around Good Boy!
On the opposite end, this guy flips everything around in his house five seconds after its been cleaned. I’m talking everything wadded up in one corner, poop wherever it may land anarchy. He’s a food begger who will scratch for worms at you from his filth prison even after he’s just eaten. But unlike some (Cygni) he’s not too skittish and is a little curious even though being handled isn’t his favorite thing.
Link! Biggest Hot Mess!
This lady has been high in the cute face category since she got here and she’s still going strong. She’s probably one of the biggest bite risks in the house as anything moving is probably food and she’s hungry all the time, just look at her she’s starving. This also makes her grade A++ cute wide-eyed hungry face. She’s the only gecko I’ve ever had try to jump lunge straight up to eat my face when I was even within two feet of her. If you walk past her house at the right time, you’ll probably hear a thump cause she was ready to try and eat your body whole.
Esper! Most Ambitious!
We all might be used to the protesting chirps and mini grunts that leos tend to give, but this girl is the household’s most threatening heck off. Fat tails are smoother and squishier than leopard geckos, which makes this girl’s upset something like being threatened by a squeaky toy. Most of the time, she’s a sweet little lump, but when she’s moody or the sprayer is wetting the moist hide closer than she prefers, she full on open mouth hisses. A full hiss. The long hiss.
Clove! Best Scary!
Anyone who has been paying attention on this blog won’t be surprised to see the best girl on here. Look at her face. Even with her tongue out like that you’re probably feeling judged right now. She’s another whole package girl who will actually beg for the hand elevator even if she won’t want to be actually out for too long. It’s like if a gecko was a cat. Demanding and making you do all the work.
Tahlia! Best Queen!
