I still have no confirmation. I even sent a photo to the experts.. some say male, some say female! He may still be too young.
Though some breeders told me to either :
A- Wait till they lay eggs.. or
B- Enjoy their man-parts.

That's certainly one approach. I guess it doesn't matter really - he's still cute as hell, no matter what sex he is

Not sure if this video will work, but this was my reaction when Petrie fell, apologies and all!

Eeee he's cute, you know, for a gecko! :lol3: I think they're cool and could be entertaining.
That video is hilarious! "Daddy's got you!" "he's got a mild concussion" OMG, that kid is funny. I'm looking into embedding it if we can.

thanks! I totally LOL'd at this kid. "He bounced like a freaken' bouncy ball!!"
That's hilarious!!
The ones I have running around my walls are much smaller. Sometimes they lose their grip and fall off the ceiling.. They do a kind of 'what the?' on the floor and then run for the wall..
Draco your photos really are works of art..

And thanks, Mani! I have a lot of fun photographing him. I'm trying so hard not to share a lot of them on Facebook!

thank you Saturday night when I was sitting on my porch with him, my neighbors came around. first to chat about my garden, then Petrie became topic when they realized I was holding him, lol. Had a little "pass the lizard" party, and he was really chilled with 5 people handling him. My 80 year old neighbor got a kick out of holding him too.

Those latest pics really bring home just how small Petrie is. I'm sure this sounds wrong, but he looks cuddly to me :confuse3: :heart3:

He is small. Lol. His body, not counting tail, is the same length as my thumb. He will probably get 8 inches or so with tail
For a better idea of his size- here's my neighbor with him

So small. His size just makes him even more adorable. Do you expect him to grow much?

Not too much- about 8 inches I would think- with tail. They don't get too big which is perfect for me
He is "cuddly" for a lizard- lol. He likes to curl in the palm of my hand or under my chin while I watch tv.

Yea cats and dogs make owning a smaller animal more difficult.
