hi everyone,
this isn't wood_nymph this is her husband adrian juts using her aco**** to get ideas from you guys since i know nothing about herps other then she lets me hold them when she has them out. some of you guys might have noticed her thread on losing her gecko last night. anyway she's really upset over it but i don't think we'll find him so to cheer her up i want to get her something else to go in his enclosure, every time she sees it empty i can see it upsets her more.
i don't think she would like another marbled velvet gecko cause it would be like replacing him. it's a 2ft square enclosure so whatelse could i put in there? we've alreday got a beadie and bluey which she loves cause they're freindly. is there anything else that could go in there that's freindly, maybe not another gecko but i don't know. i think she might be interested in a snake, not sure through she keeps those things to herself until she comes home with one  .
the other option is i could replace the two little enclosures on top of the unit with a 4ft X 2ft X 2ft a freind of mine could make. even if i can't get something right now i could plan it all and set it up for her, she'd love that.
sounds silly trying to plan a surprise using the persons account but she's in study mode at the moment so i think i can keep her from noticing this thread.

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: sydney Age/Gender: 21 | | | | thanks guys i realise it might come back, althoug a nearby unscreened window was left open that night and that's gotta be tempting for a gecko. i'm not giving up and i'm not going to turn around and throw away her equipment for it just in case, i'm not a complete fool. basically there was always a spare spot in the unit anyway (unit has two long 4ft encolsure on bottom two levels and the top level is split into two 2ft square tanks) so if i find something she would like for a 2ft enclosure then no worries if we do find him. at the moment through she won't leave the house without checking through her shoes, bag and jecket in case he's in there.
thanks for the input but some suggestions might be nice as well

would a python fit in a 2ft square tank? like i said and you would have seen there is one spare even if he comes back everytime i hear her talk to people with pythons she always swoons over them so i wouldn't be surprised if she would love one than again she loves any animal lol

any other suggestions on species to research for her, so far we'be got
stimsons pythons from Alsan spotted python from Fennwick childrens python also from Femmwick
so all these species can live in a two footer forever? wow i always thought they needed huge enclosures, shows what i know hey
