Jack was my first gecko, I got him during my time at college back in 2006ish from another student who couldn't look after her geckos anymore. Sadly Jill, the other gecko, had MBD from lack of calcium before I got her and despite many vet trips and treatment with liquid D3, UV lighting and critical care formula she didn't make it as she was too far along (the vet said the deficiency must have been occurring for years). A few days later my mum came home with another gecko that I wasn't expecting, so she lived with Jack for a short time until I could purchase a second enclosure. Before I could separate the geckos, Cleo was conceived and hatched 27th June 2007. I remember I was at college when my sister sent me the message to say the egg was hatching! I rushed home to find a tiny gecko with a strong set of lungs. Unfortunately Jilly passed away too about a year later, she always seemed unusually lean and I always had trouble keeping weight on her. Cleo too required an unusual number of calories. Thankfully I still have Amy who I got back in 2008 from a reptile rescue I knew who needed to re-home quickly as they were moving house, and she's still as chunky as ever and in excellent health.
