In 2008, the boy (Kyle) REALLY wanted a pet, but Chris and I were leary about him actually taking care of it. We looked around and found some 'eyelash' geckos at Petco and ended up bringing one home. Found out they are extremely easy pets and fun to watch (once the sun goes down).
They were thought to be extinct until 're-discovered' in 1993. Average size is 8-10 inches long and lifespan is thought to exceed 15 years. Easy to keep preferring 65-80 degree temps, they require no special UV lighting.
I ended up getting a female a few months later and now have quite the little gecko family. I am always looking for homes for the little guys that I have so take a look at pictures and let me know if you are interested.

Other babies
There have been quite a few babies since Atticus and Marvin... These geckos lay 2 eggs at a time, but they are like clock work every month or so. AND the babies hatch almost 72 days on the nose! Almost every time! Below are some pictures of other little ones that have hatched.
