Meet Toothless...

Our new Leopard Gecko & Zanna's new best friend.
Let me just tell you, this child dies over this lizard. It is pretty funny. She has always had a love for animals... but reptiles seem to be her favorite.
Ever since her friend got some for Christmas it is pretty much all she talked about.
My brother Christian had a leopard gecko, "Miguel" when we were young and he was the cutest little pet. He was so nice and calm and just chilled. So since I knew he would be a good little pet we caved and got one.
Her favorite toy is her dragon "Toothless" from how to train a dragon so we named him after her beloved dragon.


He is a little close to her mouth in this photo... yuck... but such a cute photo. It totally captures how she feels towards her new best friend.

I grabbed my camera to get some photos of Zanna playing with Toothless and when I walked into her room this is what I found. I about died laughing!!! What a lucky little lizard, he is riding in style! (and trying to make a getaway out the passenger window;)

She likes to put him in her baby stroller and has also put him on a vertical surfaces and says "look mom, his toes are sticky like a frog"



He is really such a sweet little lizard and a good starter pet! He doesn't stink, doesn't bite and is really low maintenance. My kind of animal! I just pray he can live a long life. I get a little nervous with this child's creativity. But she actually does really well with him. She is very gentle and careful.
So there you have it! Our newest addition!

That is too funny! I love it! I can't believe she'll just walk around holding him. I think I need to get a lizard now. My kids need a little exposure to that sort of thing. They are scared of frogs, the poor things!

Holy schmokes! He is a cool looking lizard! Zana will be such a good mommy. I'm still dying over those pictures of him in that car! Awesome!

Where did you find him Merm? Emily would be in heaven with such a cute little guy and I wouldn't have to buy mountains of dog or cat food! We need to get us one of those!

Sounds like a great pet! I laughed at the pictures of the lizard in the car. Too funny. What does she feed him? Bella wants a pet but it seems I am allergic to anything with hair or feathers so maybe we could make a lizard work.
