Priceless

Today was a really great day.

Even if my husband is out of town for the next 14 days and we miss him.
Even if I took the kids to a reptile show and we came home with:

  • 3 Leopard Geckos (Leo, Spotty, and Ali---the albino gecko)
  • 1 Red Footed Female Tortoise (Lady)
  • 2 tanks
  • 1 stands
  • 1 giant rubbermaid tote
  • 3 dozen crickets
  • 1 cricket habitat (yes, they need a habitat)
  • calcium for Geckos
  • Sand for Geckos
  • Bedding for Tortoise
  • Tortoise dry food
  • Cricket Supplements (yes, they need supplements 12 hours before we sacrifice them)
  • Romaine Lettuce & shredded carrots for Tortoise
  • 3 dishes
  • Terrarium decor for the Geckos
  • Hiding "cave" for the baby Tortoise
  • 2 books on Geckos
  • 2 book on Tortoises



Total Cost................... $575.65

Seeing my kids faces as they carried their pets out the door...
P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S

Oh, did I mention that we have two female geckos and 1 male?
Yes, we hope to have a clutch of eggs in January or February.

Stay tuned...I sense a BIG unit study coming on!

I just called Taylor in from playing with the lizards outside, and to show her the pictures, and boy is she jealous! All she has is 6 "plain lizards" in a bucket on the patio. Yours are "so COOL"!!
