She's working on names.
Thanks for asking! She's doing great! Mr. Fish said she ate lunch really slowly and then took a nap. She almost never takes a nap these days. Her arm that got 2 shots is a bit red and she says it's sore. Other than that - she's acting and feeling normal. She's always done well with shots. No reaction really. She was back to normal and doing her interpretive dance to music in commercials tonight and fishing for her brother (with a rope tied to a glittery baton). She's nuts!

Geckos are COOL! I used to run the animal care facility when I was a grad student - we had a Tokay Gecko (and big old one) that would eat pinkies (baby mice). Be sure to let us know what kind it is. A definite plus to not have to feed it crickets. I always wanted a gecko. I had anoles, but never a gecko of my own.
