New Pet


Well, Mrs. Ferguson has been doing some research online and even going talking to different folks about caring for a house gecko (see Mrs. Turd Ferguson Is Drunk for related article). So, we have decided to go ahead and purchase one of these creatures as a pet and let me tell you, there is quite a bit to do in order to care for these little guys (or gals). For one, making sure that the temperature and lighting is just right is key. Ignoring either of these concerns can make for one very stressed-out gecko. Another thing is their diet. They feast on small crickets and other small insects as well as the occasional mealworms for a treat. The material for the bottom of their cages needs to be of a certain material so that they don't get sick if they try to eat it. There is just alot to do for this creature that usually runs about $7 at a local pet store, but I feel that it will be well worth the investment, since it'll certainly give the both of us some practice in parenthood (although I'm not trying to compare the two concepts). So, Dudley
(we decided we're going to purchase a male gecko), wherever you are (probably in a Petco store that we'll be going to buy him at), we look forward to getting you home and into your new surroundings.
