More Fun with Baby Geckos




So far, we have enjoyed having 7 geckos hatch from our collection of eggs. A few more look like they may have occupants, so we are still waiting to meet some more friends. One day, we found four babies in the container! The kids had fun watching them for a while before getting them out and holding them.


They were still losing their first layer of skin. One of the lizards looks like it is wearing a hoodie!








Becky colored at the table for a while as "her" gecko explored the table. Unfortunately, its world was a flat object and it fell off the edge onto the floor. It was not hurt. Becky also held one and sang "rock a-bye baby, in the tree top..." Then she would coo at it and say, "Ah, it's all right baby."











One of the babies from another hatching was introduced to the wild frontier of the train table in the boys' room. From this aeriel view it looks like a big mean crocodile about ready to cross the river and rest under the palm trees.
