This
is Callista, a high yellow reduced spotted male, purchased
from Cindy the Reptilewoman. When I bought him, I thought that
he was a female -- hence the name Callista. Once I found out
he was a male, I shortened it to Cal. He was born on April 10,
2002. Cal has gone to a new home now, since I didn't have room
to keep another male. He's now living with his new mom,
Ashley, and his 2 new girlfriends :) I definitely miss him, he
was such a goof -- and such a pig! :) He's huge, and just kept
growing :) It'll be interesting to see how big he turns out!

This
is Sara, a patternless 66% het for albino female. She was
purchased from Behr Herpetoculture. About 3 weeks after I got
her, Sara stopped eating, and became lethargic. I separated
her from her tankmates in case she was just being bullied, but
she didn't show any signs of improvement. When she did eat, it
was only a little, and she had diarrhea afterwards. She
stopped eating completely not long after that, and I started
feeding her Ensure from an eyedropper. I took in a fecal to be
tested, but both tests performed came back negative. Sara
passed away a few days after that, before I could take in
another fecal to be tested. She was such a little sweetheart,
and it broke my heart when she died. RIP Sara.

Pandora
is a yellow banded albino purchased from High Quality Reptiles
at the June '02 Reptile Swap. I thought I was getting a
female, but unfortunately Pandora proved me wrong in fairly
short order :( Since I already had an albino male, I had
to find Pandora a new home. He's now living with Andrew, his
new dad, and has been renamed Trance. Next year, he'll have 2
girlfriends to keep him busy :)

This is Path, a High Yellow juvenile
leopard gecko. I bought her when she was around 2 months old
from PetSmart. She was my first gecko (my first ever reptile
for that matter! Never thought I would ever keep reptiles as
pets :)), and I fell in love with her very quickly. She was
such a little sweetheart, and took to being handled almost
right away. She was perfectly happy to walk along my hands, or
up my arm, without freaking out or dashing all over the place.
She was named after a green dragon in Anne McCaffrey's 'Dragonrider's
of Pern' novels (my favourite series ever!)
Sadly, in January 2002, Path passed away from an unknown
illness. She started getting very skinny, even though she was
still eating, and got weaker -- and then one day, when I got
home from work, she was gone.
RIP Path, you are dearly missed.

This
is Montana, an orange banded albino female bred by Ron Tremper, and purchased from Gregg Lang, his Canadian
distributor on July 10, 2002. She was the smallest and
youngest of the trio that I originally purchased from Gregg,
but she was also the sweetest
:) She was born on April 31, 2002. Sadly, Montana managed to
escape in August, and she never showed back up again. There's
still a chance that she might show up one day, but it's hard
not to suspect the worst. Wherever you are Montana, I hope
you're happy.
