Message:: [QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 3910039, member: 96898"]That's an adorable new little animal friend! I had leopard geckos, curly-tailed lizards, and bearded dragons when I was a kid. The leopard geckos always were my favorite – they make great pets. (You probably already know, but please don't forget to feed Dotty enough calcium and vitamine D3. Leopard geckos quickly develop bone disease if they don't get their calcium.) Some of my reptile coins: [ATTACH=full]1030609[/ATTACH]Macedonia, Eion, trihemiobol, ca. 460-400 BC.
