I have plastic boxes with locking lids that have holes drilled in them for air. I still had a snake escape. It was found in the house next door.
I am so glad you found Jack.
It would be great if Claire is pregnant. We can hope for eggs.
Charlie was a bit young to die like that. I wonder if he did have cancer.
It is sweet that he is with your other pets. We all have our special garden places where our little friends rest.
Could Claire and Jack share a tank? They must be similar ages.
I hope things settle down and you can feel calmer.
It was a bad couple days. They are about the same age. Claire is a lot smaller though so I'll have to keep an eye on her to make sure Jack doesn't bully her. I'm going to wait 6 weeks before I introduce Jack to Claire though. By then I will know if what ever Charlie had is contagious (which I'm sure it wasn't since she isn't sick now.) and if she has an egg or 2 she will have laid them by then and can recoup before being throw with a new mate. I don't want to stress her out too much. She's just recently started getting used to being held.
I'm reading up on incubating leopard gecko eggs again. I haven't read up on it since I first got them. I have 2 egg containers specifically made for gecko eggs. It holds up to 12 each. They have thermometers in them too. I bought them several months ago just in case. With any luck they will come in handy now.
