Even if I took the kids to a reptile show and we came home with:
- 3 Leopard Geckos (Leo, Spotty, and Ali—the albino gecko)
- 1 Red Footed Female Tortoise (Lady)
- 2 tanks
- 1 stands
- 1 giant rubbermaid tote
- 3 dozen crickets
- 1 cricket habitat (yes, they need a habitat)
- calcium for Geckos
- Sand for Geckos
- Bedding for Tortoise
- Tortoise dry food
- Cricket Supplements (yes, they need supplements 12 hours before we sacrifice them)
- Romaine Lettuce & shredded carrots for Tortoise
- 3 dishes
- Terrarium decor for the Geckos
- Hiding “cave” for the baby Tortoise
- 2 books on Geckos
- 2 book on Tortoises
Total Cost………………. $575.65
Seeing my kids faces as they carried their pets out the door…
P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S
Oh, did I mention that we have two female geckos and 1 male?
Yes, we hope to have a clutch of eggs in January or February.
Stay tuned…I sense a BIG unit study coming on!

My 2 Greatest Achievements as a Mother (so far)
The irony of life
Dear Oblivious Mother,
I just called Taylor in from playing with the lizards outside, and to show her the pictures, and boy is she jealous! All she has is 6 “plain lizards” in a bucket on the patio. Yours are “so COOL”!!
Yikes on the price!
Woohoo to the learning that will come from it.
Today we brought home-
2 betas
2 tanks
stone
food
decorations
Cost $20
Not as fun as you!
Yes, learning IS priceless. 🙂
You are outta control! 😉
We’ll just make do with the turtles and lizards in the backyard, thankyouverymuch.
