Greetings From Canada!

Hello all, this is my first post on this forum. I belong to a few others, but I just recently got some new Leos, and I figured I'd join a forum for Leos. I love animals, most of my collection was "throw away pets" that people didn't want or got tired of. I don't believe in mixing species, everything has it's own terrarium.

I have 5 Leos all together, 3 girls and 2 boys:

I have 1 male named "Chicken Little" that I adopted from someone on Kijiji (Craig's List). He's 6 years old, and the previous owner didn't wan't him anymore. He lives in a 25 gallon aquarium. The previous owner named him something like "Chicken Feet" or "Chicken Finger" and I just can't remember exactly what he was called, so I started to call him Chicken Little instead, and it just sort of stuck.

I have 3 girls that are living temporally in the 18"-Cube Exoterra. They are going to be getting the 36"x18"x18" exoterra soon.
The first girl doesn't have a name yet, so suggestions are welcome She is 8 years old and unfortunately was another "throw away pet".
My second female is a Tangerine morph, and her name is "Ivy". I got her from my friend that was trying to breed leopard geckos, but she just kept running into problems (eggs not incubating properly, etc...) She got frustrated with it, and decided to can the project all together. I got 3 from her.
My 3rd female is a "Chocolate Albino" morph. I don't think that that is the proper name for the morph though, so if anyone knows what that is actually supposed to be called I'd be interested in knowing. I also got her from my friend.

I also have 1 male "Chocolate Albino" morph, his name is "Saul" and he lives in a 10 gallon. I think I will be putting him in the 18"Exoterra Cube once the girls get to up grade their tank.


I also have over 20 Crested Geckos. Among them are a group of 6 that I rescued this summer from a home that wasn't taking care of them. There were 2 babies and 4 adults, all very emaciated and beaten up. The adults weighed between 21-28 grams, and should be well over 40 grams. But all are doing much better and putting more weight one.

I have 2 bearded dragons, "Waffles" and "Pancake". I just finished building a 540 gallon CrossFire Enclosure for them. I love this tank so much, I think I will build a similar tank for my leos, just not nearly as tall.

I also have 18 different types of amphibians. I love frogs. My favorites out of my collections are my Dendrobates auratus (Green & Black Poison Dart Frogs), Giant Pyxie Frogs, Dwarf Pyxie Frogs, and my Budgett's Frog named "Bridgett".

We also have 3 polydactyl cats that we adopted from the shelter (pound) and the humane society. Their names are "The Jerk" our male tuxedo cat, "Sparta" our male Dark Brown Tabby, and "Madness" aka "Maddy", our female Orange and white tabby.

We also have 2 ribbon snakes, and a 125 gallon fish tank that has our female Tiger Oscar "Dexter", our male Veil-Tail Albino Tiger Oscar "Misha" and our new Arowana "Stanley".

Welcome to the best forum on the net! Wow, you sure do have a lot of pets!!!! I would love to have more but don't have the time to take care of any extra. Look forward to seeing photo's of your children.

Woah! 20 cresties? That's amazing!

I can't wait to see your leos, though! I've never heard of a "chocolate albino", so I'm excited to see what you got.

Can't wait to see pictures of your amazing collection...especially those dart frogs in their tanks. I usually see really pretty enclosures with dart frogs so I bet yours is too. Welcome to the forum!

EDIT: Just scrolled through your Youtube and found a video of your dart frog tank...GORGEOUS!!!

Hello! Welcome to the LGF! I'm Kathryn
I hope you enjoy your time here, and I'm looking forward to speaking with you.

You have an amazing list of pets there, wow! I have one rescue leo myself, Miracle. I love rescues, they always seem to have great personalitys.

Where in Canada are you from? I'm in Ontario, near Toronto.

If you can get eye pictures of the albinos, we'd be able to ID them for you.

Again, welcome! Can't wait to see you posting throughout the forum!

BTW, we have sections for all your other pets as well! We have a dragons section, frog section etc. You should post some pictures

welcome to the forum!

wowowowowow! you have sooo many pets

I am reallly looking forward to seeing photos of them all very soon especially the frogs!

Welcome to the forum! We can wait to see pictures. ;D

Ok, here are some of the Leopard Gecko Pictures:

This is "Saul". He is the male "Chocolate Albino" morph.

This is "Hazel". She is the female "Chocolate Albino" morph. I just got a second female named "Cash" tonight, and she is the same color morph as Hazel and Saul, but she is bigger. She's the little piggy of the group apparently. I don't have any pictures of her yet though.

This is "Chicken Little" my male Leo. He has really neat looking spots on top of his head. He is 6 years old.

This is my female leo. She still doesn't have a name. She had a lot of stuck shed on her toes, she almost looked like she had mittens on. I got most of it off, and I'll be doing another de-shedding secession with her soon on her feet. She is missing parts of her toes though from this problem. She is in the process of shedding again.

awww wow they are all so pretty

Ivy is sooooo adorable!!

I think your chocolate albinos.. are actually tremper albinos, but I'm not amazing at morph ID's so get a second opinion lol

The chocolate Albino appears to be a Mack Snow Albino......Mack snow is usually proved through breeding but I have two albinos with mack snow genes and it seems to cause them a slightly different coloring than the normal albinos. This is just speculation but that is my thoughts on it

Welcome to the forum. I am also in Canada. I am in Trenton ON with my air force hubby. We have been stationed here for 12 years

Lovely lovely geckos! Very cute!

where in Ontario are you from? If you are looking for new leos, Jolene (smararas2) is a breeder. I bought my newest leo (a tremper) off her. She's great!

Thanks Kathryn...lol

I'm from Thunder Bay, but we might be relocating at the end of the school year, as my BF should be graduating from Uni. We'll probably be staying in Ontario though.

Could my Chocolate Albinos be a "Bell"? This is a link from Urban Geckos, and the picture at the top is a "Bell"

Jolene, do you have a website?

Yes Jolene does have a website. Its smgeckos and you will see a banner advert at the top of each forum page. Just click on the banner and it will redirect you.

Yep, Jolene has a website! The banner at the top, as Jenni said. You can also see it here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
