We named the gecko "Marshall" although we think our gecko may be a girl. Marshall is 5 months old, and it is hard to tell at this age what gender she (or he) is. Marshall eats crickets and mealworms. She ate 3 crickets today, and will eat 4 mealworms tomorrow. We will alternate back and forth each day. Each student, if they wish, will be able feed Marshall. Marshall is nocturnal, but she will come out to eat her food. She needs a little bit of time to get used to being in our classroom. She had a busy weekend - leaving the pet store, moving into Mrs. Wingert's house, and then moving to the classroom. Once she is settled and feels more comfortable, we may see her more often.
I will add a few websites with information about leopard geckos to the right side of my blog. Feel free to check them out!
Marshall going after a cricket! This is so much fun to watch!
