His name is Mac. My eighth grade class gave him to me as a Christmas present. He should get a lot bigger and should turn a stronger color of yellow as he gets older. So far, he is doing well, even though he tries to bite me when ever I get close. Hopefully we can come to some agreement, since he is supposed to have a life expectancy of 20+ years ... that is twice as long as most dogs... twenty years... the rise and fall of entire civilizations have taken less time. Ugh, a tie would have been a lot less intimidating, but I have to say, I do like the little guy a lot.

My goodness, he is SO pretty! And sure to get even more pretty as his colors get more vibrant, huh? I do hope that he stops trying to bite you. I wonder if he's just upset at how close you've put him to the tarantula?
What cool markings he has! My kids are going to be jealous. :)
He is a leopard gecko. I have seen a few full grown ones and they are pretty crazy looking; big fat tails and really bright colors.
I had a leopard gecko in during my first years of college.. I loved him! He was so cute and nice.. so I think Mac will mellow out the older he gets.
