I've had a few that got this big, they were a lot of work but they were fun.

This is a beautiful video, but very sad.

When I finally had to give up my little sally, she was 10-1/2 inches Snout Vent Length and a little under 6 feet overall length. Watching both of the videos you posted make me miss her so much, but it was either her or my husband. She was only 7 years old when I gave her up back in 2007. I often wonder if she is still healthy or even alive any more.

It hurts when you have to give them up especially when you have bonded with each other. I hope he is worth it.

You never know with men.

Too bad that you have to give up something that you love just to be with him.

I had to give up two baby geckos two years ago but that was because I was so sick I couldn't take care of them, that really hurt but it was for the best. I dropped them and their fishbowl they were in and one of them got cut. That was during a fall. I got hurt too. Long story.

Finally got a UV light for her. She really enjoys it. I've caught her laying right under it sleeping. I can see she has grown to almost double her size now in only about 3 months. And her tail is growing back.

This morning we had an escape. As I took her from her sleeping tank, it's in my bedroom right next to the bed, down the hall she flipped right out of my hands. AS they often do this to escape and hide for weeks at a time. She was hiding all day but tonight I saw her right in front of my bedroom door in the hall. I scooped her up and put her back in her tank for the night. I almost think she wanted me to do that.

She's coming around.

I put her in the tub tonight. I try to do that everyday but some days it just doesn't work out. She seemed very calm, for her. I wrapped her up in a baby blanket with just her head sticking out and layed down with her for a while. I rubbed her head with my finger and she tried to scootch up to me as if to cuddle with me. It was so cute.

It's a slow process but you really do need patience.

Her flipping out time when I try to take her out of the tank is now down quite a bit. She flips out now once or twice then she lets me touch her.
.
I can rub her back now while she's in the tank, before she wasn't having any of that.
