Malaysian Golden Gecko

There is a new denizen in what my parents have taken to referring to as "the menagerie." A beautiful Gekko ulikovskii (also inappropriately known as "Gekko auratus," common name Malaysian Golden Gecko), now resides in the terrarium that was previously Manimekalai's home. I'm still not 100% sure of this new resident's sex, so the name will be Waldere if it's a male and Kundalakesi if it is a female.

Manimekalai has finally been moved in with Gilgamesh, and the two of them seem to be getting along much better (he's not yet attempted to eat her) now that she's grown a bit. Hopefully they'll settle down nicely together - if not, I'll have to get her another terrarium.

Pictures of possibly-Waldere-possibly-Kundalakesi to come soon.

Geckos are cool! I love seeing them at shows. I don't know that I've seen a Malaysian Golden Gecko though. Please post photos when you can. :D

Gah! I need to get better faster so I can meet your lizards, dammit! Looking forward to pictures. :3
