Yes, you read that correctly, Ryan's Albino Leopard Gecko, that he just received at his birthday party, only 4-days ago, has died!!! He was absolutely fine this morning. When I picked Emily and Caitlynn up from ice skating camp, Caitlynn wanted to come over because she hadn't held "Leppy" yet. Well, when they went into Ryan's room, they noticed he was laying on his belly and they touched him and knew that he was gone! Poor Ryan was so upset when we told him. The only good thing in this entire situation is that PetSmart has a 14-day policy on returning pets, and getting new ones, in the event something like this happens. So, Ryan actually picked "Leppy" up and put him in his little container and we ran to PetSmart to get a replacement gecko. Unfortunately, they were completely out of them and will not be getting a new shipment in until tomorrow. So, bless Ryan's heart, he had to come home without anything but a new book about 'caring for your leopard gecko'. We decided to purchase a manual on how to take care of him. I will post pictures tomorrow of the newest member of the family. By the way, the above picture was taken when "Leppy" was alive!

Poor little Leppy (and thanks for letting us know he was alive in the photo, honestly, it's hard to tell!)...I hope the replacement works out well. I'm not a lizard fan either, but I can imagine your little guy's heartbreak.
