My Boy's Legacy & Extended Family

[Tongue Flicker]

Belated sad news guys.. My one and only leopard gecko, Denver, passed away when i was at the last leg of my Asian tour

My dad and sister was 'looking out' for him while I was away and unfortunately they both sucked at it -__-

Here is his last photo I took before i left the next day:

Rest in peace, Denver your antics will be missed.

Fortunately for me before I left, I did a breeding project with a close friend who has two adult females and it yielded 4 new leopard gecko hatchlings. After he sold 2 of his share, that friend of mine left for Canada a week after I got back. Good news was, he left his two adult breeder females to me upon hearing my loss and as well as got the other two juvies who is Denver's sons.

So without further ado, here is his first and legal wife, Dora - a plump and voluptuous lady in terms of body built

And his mistress, Dida - an almost 11" long lady

Here are the kids, Dude - a skittish and grumpy little boy. A bit skinny as shown when i first got him but he's quite a hearty eater now.

and Denver Jr. - who is a striking resemblance of his dad

*Photos were taken at the last day of September*


Who would've thought that a single loss could become quite fruitful

Enjoy your weekend guys! ^__^

He died young but at least it was not in vain

I am so sorry for your loss but your gecko has a beautiful family and it is so neat that you are able to have his son.

He's left you some great progeny, so you still have a part of him with you! Such beautiful creatures you have there.

Are they a friendly type lizard, or more of the type to bite?

I am so sorry you lost Denver!

His lady friends and children are gorgeous! I love leopard geckos! I babysat my friend's leopard gecko a few weeks ago, and she was just the sweetest!

I've never heard or read about anyone getting bit but yes, they are a friendly type of lizard. The showy ones climb on your hand when you put it inside their enclosure or feed from your hand. There are shy ones and nervous ones too. They have varying degrees of personality, if you ask me. They are also ever observant and curious and will try to lick your hand or try to lick anything new that you put inside their tank lol
