We are sorry to report, that we have had a family tragedy. Our beloved Stubby passed away. We aren't sure when, he was pretty flat when we found him. A few weeks ago when it was really cold here, Corey found another gecko just like Stubby outside trying to stay warm. As an excellent lizard catcher, he was able to get this one too. We were all excited that Stubby would have a friend. We started buying extra crickets to feed the two little mouths. We don't know if the new lizard bullied Stubby out of some crickets or what. We still haven't named this one. His name has been "What's his name" since we got him. He is a little bigger than Stubby, but in good Duncan fashion, someone was able to chop off part of his tail as well. Poor little Stubby got his chopped twice. That did help tell the difference between the two, though.
Please do not send flowers or cards. We all are doing okay. Cayden took it the worst. He was a bit emotional after the discovery. I tried to help him understand that it's okay, and we just need to try a little harder to remember to get the crickets. Plus, it could be that "What's his name" was a bully and did something to him. I then told him that we need to figure out a name for him.....maybe "Killer." I thought it was funny, but oh boy, Cayden did not! He started to cry and told me I was mean because I was making fun! Sorry, but I giggled.
