    Default Can't resist the sweets...

    Here is my my male Giant Day Gecko eating some mango from my fingers. This species is usually very flighty however he's not at all shy and doesn't mind me petting him on the back. It didn't take him long to get the mango from my fingers, he didn't mind licking my fingers clean either. haha.

    You can see the female in the background, not interested in me at all. Don't worry she gets the mango I leave in the dish.



    Close up, they're so cute.



    Last weekend I hatched the first clutch of the year. They lay two eggs every 20 days. I have six more in the incubator.





    Hope you enjoyed the photos!

    That's a very cool set. Nicely done. That tongue is crazy!

    Fantastic colour. I especially like the 2nd shot with the close up of the skin.

    I too like the second one where you can really see the texture in the skin. Also love that tongue.

    Cool pets Kevin, and love that second shot. Awesome detail, and colours.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
