This is Yoshi





Yoshi is our Fat-Tailed Leopard Gecko. Grammy gave him to Nathan last year for his birthday and he has lived in a terrarium in Nathan's room for a year and a half. He is a good gecko and an easy pet. He doesn't stink, shed, or make noise. The only bummer is we have to buy live crickets every week to feed him. Notice in the 2nd picture is the cricket cage and the 3rd picture is Yoshi with a cricket in his mouth...teaching Nate about the food chain!

By the way, these geckos can live up to 30 years, so Nathan will be taking this pet with him to college, wedding, and when he's married with his own family!

Nate was SO excited to finally have a pet of his own! I guess his goldfish didn't count!
