Mixed emotions ensue because I have been asking for a gecko for 1 year and 3 months, but was told I could have only one pet at a time.
Today I got my gecko. His/her name is Tokay. S/he is a crested gecko and is about 1 month old. If I take good care of him/her, s/he will live to be up to 15 years old. There is now a lifespan face off between Tokay and the python down the hall.
For the record, I have the best mom in the whole world, because I am convinced that I will be able to take good care of Tokay (but if I don't, in the long run, I know mom will make sure Tokay has a good habitat including food and water.)
Mom says that although Tokay is cute, it is another living thing she needs to keep alive. I'm going to work really hard so that mom is not the only one keeping him/her alive...I promise!
