My friend Jessica gifted me with two of her geckolings this past weekend. The parents are Abigail and Hannibal King. I figured children of Nightstalkers should have nice vampire names. ;) So meet Alice and Esme!!

(Not sure of the sex yet, but hopefully they'll decide to stay female. *laughs* If not, a renaming will commence.)

You know you can't resist the cute!

So tiny!

And since it's been forever, here's some shots of the rest of the crew...

"Not So Baby" June - 50 grams

Mei - 43 grams - A patternless red I purchased a few months back. She was pretty underweight but I loved her color and demeanor. She's finally plumped up, but rarely fires up fully for me. This is the first time I've been able to get decent photos.

I think these are my favorite gecko. NON insect eaters!!! My favorite is Raptor, then June. I love their hands!
 
But they don't HAVE TO, right??? Don't they eat Repashy gecko baby food or something???
 
I think you have to make up for the missing insect diet with extra powdered nutrtional food you mix in with other food and such and add water. I know I suck at explaining but that's only because I only briefly went over a care sheet last week for them :p.

That's still up for debate depending on who you talk to. It's one of those things every breeder has an opinion about and currently their is no 100% right or wrong answer to the question. I just cover myself and offer mine crickets at least once a week to make sure they're getting that protein. :) I know that the ones that do feed only a non-insect diet do say that the only way you can do that is if you feed them the Repashy brand of food (as opposed to making your own mix) because it's supposed to be "complete."
 
Thanks!!

I feed my brood primarily the Repashy diet and crickets occasionally.

Sometimes mine go months without crickets. I think they could live happily on just the Repashy food, so yes, if bugs make you squeamish, these are the geckos for you. :cheers:
