It seemed pure white, with its spotted patterning resembling chunks of coal sitting in the snow. In his room sat a three-year-old rescue Mack snow leopard gecko, sleeping until our staring startled it awake. "Whatever it is, I can't go back they were the only shipment they had." I paused for a minute a reason I hoped would explain why they were this way popped into my head “Maybe they’re trying to breed field crickets with feeders?” “You went to the place I told you about, right?” They were black as night, like a common black field cricket, and on the occasion, you could see spots of black droplets. These crickets resembled smaller feeders same shape, same usual size. They're a light brown, small-to-medium in size. You've seen pet store crickets feeder crickets roaming around tanks when certain lizards are too full or don’t want to bother.
Leopard geckos only eat live insects mealworms are a common snack for them amongst other worms, and the occasional dubia roach is a good alternative, but crickets were a common delicacy. He seemed a bit shaken once he got home but not from the trip, from the crickets. Milo made the trip himself I was proud of him for getting motivation, believing the pet gave him motivation to start out. There weren't many pet stores near our apartment the other stores were more than twenty minutes away, and we didn't have time to go farther than our city thanks to our schedules.Īnd then he bought the crickets. I told him everything I knew, my go-to for supplies and adoption, and I'd help him out if he needed it. We decided on a leopard gecko, as they're the best choice for beginners. You can guess what species I recommended. He had a fear of rodents, and birds weren't his forte. He couldn't get a cat he couldn't get a dog. But here's the kicker Milo was allergic to pet dander. I wanted to help him in any way I could.įrom there I got the idea of an emotional support animal the way one helped me through childhood, I'll never forget it. But we didn't want to end things over this this wasn't his fault.
I loved him to pieces, but his need to go everywhere with me - even if it was three minutes away from our apartment - was too much. It got so bad I had to go everywhere with him so he could do the simplest tasks within due time, it became draining. Not too long ago, my boyfriend - let's call him Milo - had increased anxiety for a couple months since a mugging incident he was stressed moreso than normal, with the times he felt safe only around me. I don't want to think about it anymore but the thoughts, the factoids, the images, they won't leave my head. I mean, I still fixate on them but the past was enjoyable. Reptilia - or Reptiles as we call them - are a major fixation of mine.Īt least, they were at one point.
