Today I am introducing my leopard gecko, Cregan, that I got by total surprise when he was handed to me at NARBC Tinley Park back in March.

In the future, if you come across an animal at a show, and can't find hand warmers, check out Reptile Basics or a similar vendor, because they usually sell the heat packs for shipping reptiles. I went to the Tinley Park NARBC in March, I was planning on buying an African fat tailed gecko, so I brought a soft cooler with me, and bought a heat pack from Reptile Basics to keep the gecko warm on the way home.

[@JessicasAnimalFriends]

Thank you!! Hadn’t thought of that!

[@nyves104]

not animal related, but your hair looks great!

[@JessicasAnimalFriends]

Oooop I just chopped it off to donate 😂

[@nyves104]

@@JessicasAnimalFriends that's awesome too, I look forward to seeing your haircut in a future video!

[@zaileyhalcomb3032]

That's exactly what I said !

[@tinalonglocks1]

Your hair is gorgeous!!

[@keilanihong6237]

Hey Jessica! Do you think it's possible to make a video about how you bring your reptiles to the vet? Like what you use to keep them warm, what you put them in, and how you keep stress low? I'm still new and I don't wanna make my leo freak out. Thank you!

[@sarahthesarah2850]

That would be a huge help. The closest I've found is how to ship Leo's 😐 I second your request!

[@karly8563]

But I’m glad it went to you ❤️

[@karenmcisaac22]

Hes such an adorable gecko ❤❤❤

[@helenjoy6316]

You're amazing!

I heard someone left a crested gecko in the bathroom at an expo and then someone came in and took it home on my facebook its wild.

[@JessicasAnimalFriends]

Yeah honestly doesn’t surprise me I bet someone forgot

[@nikkipetlover8896]

I love your new gecko! I am just in love with snows ❤

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@11Evalone]

All the geckos! Good way to fall asleep is to try and list all your animals names..or meditate I suppose.

[@JessicasAnimalFriends]

Lol it’s way too easy to list my geckos! I can even do it in order of when I got them 😂

[@sarahthesarah2850]

Hello Jessica, You are such a treasure. I am learning how to be the best leo parent ever. Thank you. I appreciate your honesty too. It has helped very carefully consider gow to vest prepare to welcome a Leo into my home. If you could elaborate on how to travel to the vet with a gecko. The enclosure, heating options and things of that nature. I want to have a safe and comfortable car bin for vet trips. Thank you

[@luissalitaiii5303]

I hope you make video about your plants on your leopard gecko

[@karly8563]

I’m a planner too in my deepest being lol

[@dkcz2302]

I love you Jessica

My bearded dragon which I will be getting in 2 weeks his name is Rhaegal.

I wouldn’t mind a free gecko and I have 2 empty fish tanks. You have a big heart and kind soul. I like how you take care of your animals.

Hello Jessica 💖🤗, your new little one is gorgeous 😍. I can see that would be a stressful situation but as always Jesus chose for you to be his Mommy😊. You sure have a lot going on but it sounds exciting too. So sorry you were sick but you look wonderful. Seems like forever since i visited you😉. Our 15 year old female basset Jenny, is slowing down a lot. Just seems like yesterday we got her from a rescue.😢. She has lost most of her sight and sleeps a lot. Still eats but sometimes only once a day. We just let her tell us what she wants and needs and be there for her. The heartbreak of having pets. All of our little ones are doing good. You guys take care and I will see you soon around the critter neighborhood. May Jesus bless you and yours, Lin ✝️🐕🐕🐕🐦🐢🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎💖🦒🐧🐒🐲

[@JessicasAnimalFriends]

Awww :( but 15 is such a good long life! Give sweet Jenny a snuggle for me. So glad as always to hear from you!

When I tell you it felt like being hit by a car.. I puked 18 times in 9 hours. It was once every 30 minutes like clockwork. AWFUL

I have leopard gecko (a woman) for like 1 and a half month, she did not eat, or maybe she ate like 2 argentinian ones, i bought them cause she did not wanted to eat mealworms. And one was laying (a croach) in a place where it would not be able to escape i think cause it was deep and solid. And it was laying on back for straight 12hoeurs without moving, and when i came to home there was no it, and my girl leo was out of her hide. She is still stressed all parameters are good and her substrae is good too for geckos. So she today pooped, she did it like fourth time now but she was not eating for this month and bit more so it s normal i guess, but her poop was green, shale good but green ger piss part was yellow and white 50/50. So I'm wondering if this is bad sign or its still aclmatization ? I read she might have ate a plants, she have some of them inside her terra. No one ever told me what should I do also with the fact she js not eating. Her tail is not bad, but not the best either. It s trully have some her body storage inside. So please someone give me your opinion, no one even tried to help me, i don't know what should i do.
