Yeah gotta love the perpetual smile on their faces. Dash has an especially adorable face! Your 8 year old had a great idea!
At an expo last year I saw this leopard gecko for 10 bucks. There's always a reptile that tugs at my heartstrings at the expo's and this girl was it. We made a deal on a pair of high end BRB's and asked for the gecko for free which they happily agreed to. Pam named her Lilith. Pam (the teacher in Teacher's Pet Reptiles) finally got the school to approve a classroom pet and Lilith was the perfect choice. The first graders love her and that adorable face!
