Gordon…

Stacy loves Gordon the Gecko.   She wants to see and watch Gordon every day.   The funny part is I went to the pet store to buy Gordon some crickets.   Then I realized there are a ton of crickets at my parents house.  I told my mom to ‘catch’ some so my mom will go searching for crickets around the house.

Personally, I dunno how my parents deal with the crickets.  They are all over the place and noisy.    My mom started catching the crickets and giving it to us in a jar.  My sister also has crickets at their new house (not as many) but they are there, so now she is catching crickets for me as well.

This has been great for us because now we no longer have to buy Gordon his crickets AND now my sister and parents have less crickets to annoy them at their house.  Sadly,  like greedy people we over harvested and now it seems like we have a cricket shortage at the Yoshioka houses.  It might be time to go back to the pet store for crickets.

Gordon was a lot nicer before we gave him live food.  Now he is really aggressive and even tries to bite my hand when I clean his tank.   I wonder if he has just gotten used to having live food.   I swear he has gotten bigger as well.

In any case, we recorded Gordon eating his last meal:
