The David Attenborough post


[hushed voice] The Leopard Gecko is one of the most common reptiles, they are hardy, relatively docile and don’t grow too large. Leopard Geckos are found in the wild across a large area of Asia and the Middle East, stretching from north-western India into eastern Iraq. Leopard Geckos are one of the largest of gecko [...]

Dragons – update
