Fun Facts

The Texas Horned Lizard is one out of fourteen species of its spiky relatives! When in danger it will shoot blood out of its eyes! It is adapted to arid places with sparse vegetation! Wow,those are some cool facts and those are my only ones.

The Texas Horned Lizard rarely shoots its blood out of its eyes at humans instead if you hold one it will most likely hiss at you sorry if that disappoints you. :(

here's a fun video to watch about this lizard 

Iguana tell you something... WE'RE BACK

Hello, readers!

After an incredibly long hiatus, I believe it's time to return to my blogging days as Gecko Girl. My last post was in 2012, and it is now the end of 2018. Even though many years have passed, I still own 2 leopard geckos, Tarzania and Little Guy, and my love for the species has not waned. Tarzania bears much resemblance to Rosebud, my first and most beloved leopard gecko.

More good news- Benji, one of my brothers, is now 11 years old, and has a passion for reptiles! We were researching herpetology when I remembered this blog and suggested he and I start writing on it again. You can thank him for the resumption of reptilian articles, which we will both be writing.

So readers, thank you for being patient all these years. I hope you find the blog to be the same quality (or better) as before!

Best, 

Gecko Girl,

and as I'm pleased to introduce,

Benji

Love geckos

Geckos can fall in love too. If they didn't there wouldn't be any more geckos!!  But they mate in an unusual way. They love bite.  It seems crazy,but it isn't.  I'll tell you how it works.  The male grasps the female by the neck with his jaws. The female might have some wounds on her neck.  As long as they are not bleeding to much          or infected you don't need to worry about them.  Well, there you go.  How to mate a Leopard gecko.

Finding and dying.

                                                         

Rosebud and me after I got my tonsils out and we found her in the garage.

                                                           

When we found Rosebud in early spring her tail looked nice and fat, and she looked pretty healthy herself, but she was  DEHYDRATED!!!!   We gave her water and lots of crickets and she got healthy again.  And so here comes the bad part. We moved to West Virginia and she stopped eating.  We took her to the vet one day  and the vet gave her some medicine but that didn't really help her so we gave her water and baby food [mushed up chicken].                                                                                                                                                           But     she was still doing bad because her tail skin is really lose,so we took her back to the vet and she gave Rosebud a shot and when we left she gave us some more medicine but we must have given her to much because a couple days after that trip to the vet she died.

My pets

Sorry, I took so long to write on my blog.I have some good news,I have new pets, and some bad news, Paris died.  Well she was sick, but she was only a couple months old. But at least I still have three pets.  If you've read      my other things about my little gecko you know who I' m talking about. But you don't know who my new pets are? Okay okay I'll tell you their names,the first one I got was named Lizard but we call Lizzy, she is spotted.  And my other gecko is named Chysanthamum but we call Chris, she is a special breed because she doesn't have any spots.  MY PETS!!!  P.S. try to find all three geckos!

My Geckos

My mediterranean house gecko

My leopard gecko

I have a leopard gecko and a mediterranean house gecko.    If you have a little gecko and a big gecko put them in different cages' or they might try to fight each other.  My leopard gecko's name is Paris and my mediterranean house gecko is named little Rosebud the 2nd.
