Intro To The Rest Of The Family Companions

[LittleMick]

Hi all, just started visiting the forum, so far looking good, seeings I posted and intro and pics of my aquarium in the relevant sections I thought I would just intro the other family companions.
First off here's my sisters dog Boo, she brought here home back to the UK from the States. She's a Miniature Pincher.

Here are my Gerbils, I got them in April this year, a month before my aquarium. They are Gemini, Pica, Gerty and Sasha.

Then the latest addition is my Leopard Gecko, sex unknown due to only being 3 months old.

Hope yo like them.
Regards

Mick

Yeah I love the Gecko, originally when deciding to get a reptile I was going to go for a Corn Snake, but was worried about having Gerbils in the same room, considering a Snakes dietary requirements. So I looked into lizards. List of my choices in order
Occelated Skink
Bearded Dragon
Leopard Gecko

The store never had any Skinks in, after researching the Dragon, it would prolly end up being too expensive to keep, but I still might get one on the future. So I ened up with my Leo, he/she is great. Fearless as well, you're supposed to let them settle in for a couple of weeks before handling, but I had the vivarium door open to spot clean and *she* was too curious and so I put my hand out to get her and she walked all the way up my arm to my shoulder, I took her off and put her back on my hand in the viv and she doneit again, lol.

After all my research on snakes, questions on forums about Corn Snakes, not one person could say they had actually kept Gerbs and Snakes. Then I finally got a efw anawers and it turns out I could have . Nut I still have the opportunity to get 2 free Corns in December, but I have to figure about space. Floor space is full so the only optional is get stackable vivs.
