| | | Our Leopard Gecko moulting
The kids were gifted a Leopard Gecko when Pedro the Chinchilla moved to Florida. He is a male name Spock (yes, as in the vulcan...ew, that just reminded me of V - The Final Battle, with the lizard aliens and all...)
Anyhow, I got one good shot at the beginning of the shed and it was interesting to watch as he would use his mouth to pull his skin off of his arms (it was like taking off a shirt). He ate it as he went along.

They're probably quite fun. My wife has a bearded dragon named Skylar (androgynous for a reason) who is very animated and fun to have around. It would be a lie to say that the animal didn't have a personality.

Yes, they do have personalities...and preferences (ours refuses canned crickets...they have to be living or he won't touch them).

Looks like he's wearing a clear plastic rain poncho with a hoody. A fashionable guy, isn't he?

| Heavens No! The long gloves, to the elbow or longer, were reserved for evening only. The gloves she wore to church were not always short, however. Depending upon the length of her sleeves they might go up to the middle of her forearm.
I know I'm crazy, but I miss the days when women dressed like women and men dressed like men; when women wore gloves and men wore hats.

Our cultural dress code has just changed a little. Now our women where sweatpants with "hottie" across the butt and our men wear WWE shirts.
