The Scaleys

Yoshimoku


He’s a Bearded Dragon. He measures about 8 inches head to tail right now, but at the rate he’s eating ( about 20 small to med. crickets per day) and growing, he will be between 18” to 24” within a year’s time. He is really nice, likes to be petted and held. His environment in the habitat has to stay around 105 degrees day and night, and he climbs up on his tree branch to be close to the heat lamp. Due to that heat lamp & the UV lamp & the special grape vine wood for him to "bask" on, Yoshi cost Santa a heck of a lot more money than we expected to spend! Yoshi sheds over a period of a couple of days and in little pieces that we find at the bottom of his habitat.

Gunner


Gunner is a Leopard Gecko, Hunter's first "paid-for" lizard. Gunner is a nocturnal lizard who is very shy & likes to hide in his cave & comes out to eat about 5 medium crickets a day. He's about 8 inches long & close to being full grown. Gunner likes his habitat to be around 85 degrees. When he sheds his skin, it comes off in pieces over a few hours time, and Gunner pulls off the pieces that are attached to his body & eats them. EEEEWW!!

THERE ARE OTHER LIZARDS PAST AND PRESENT, BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOSHI ATE "BIGGIE" THE LIZARD LAST WEEK WHEN HUNTER PUT BIGGIE IN YOSHI'S HABITAT, WE ARE GOING TO PASS OVER THOSE LIZARDS FOR NOW.......MAY BIGGIE R.I.P.
