I think it's interesting That people keep them as pets.Nocturnal means that a animal can see in the dark.Captivity means that you hold them captive .I think Val is a very good lizard and is small.

My nephew, CJ's cousin, has a Chinese Water dragon. He has to have a humidifier to keep his skin moist as his natural habitat is along fresh water streams in China. He is diurnal which means he is active during the day unlike the leopard gecko. Below is a link to the Smithsonian National Zoo which has information about all types of animals including the Chinese Water Dragon.

1. I think the most interesting information I learned from this text is that leopard geckos can not blink or close there eyes so some geckos rely on licking there eyes to keep them clean but they can blink or close there eyes if they are sleeping. 2.no I do not know what nocturnal means but I will look it up when i Get home.2. Captivity means when they are in a habitat they should still be token good care of.4. I think reptiles are just so cool and I think Val is awesome I have my own leopard gecko and her name is Liz.

I think it's interesting that leopard geckos tails grow back. Nocturnal means an animal sleeps during the day and is awake at night. Captivaty means something is captured or it's being kept. I think Val is going to live to be at least 20.

The most interesting information about the Lepord Gecko is that it is noturnal and also it can live up to 30 years! Another cool thing about a Lepord Gecko is that if a predator is very close to him/her can leave their tail behind and distract the predator and its tail will grow back. Noturnal means that the animal sleeps during the day and is awake at night. Captivity means tha they are kept but not in their natural habitat. I think that Val is the best class pet I could ever ask for because Val is young and so cute because she has little spots all over her back and I also think it is cool that however many times Val's tail falls of it will grow back in know time.One more thing about Val is thatVal is so fast and that she is great at hiding!😃😃😃

1.The information I found that was interesting is that a female gecko weighs 50-70 pounds. 2. Nocturnal means to sleep in the morning and to stay up in the night. 3. Captivity means to be trapped in a cage. 4.i think that Val is not cool and awesome because she has spots and she has cool orange skin.

Hi, Andrew's mom. That's a great question -- I did a great deal of research when preparing to get Val as our class pet. I thought I had everything together, but still realized there were things I needed once I got everything in place. The biggest requirements are a habitat (tank) with at least 2 hiding spots (they sell caves or huts), some type of substrate to cover the floor of the tank, and heating lamps (one day time and one night time). You will also need a water dish, live crickets, and they suggest mealworms, although Val doesn't care for them. You will also need a temperature and humidity gauge for inside the tank. I ordered my crickets from Carolina Biological and the one thing I forgot was something to keep them in. I purchased a "travel case" for Val, so right now I just have them in it. I hope this helps -- I know Andrew will be super excited if you decide to get a pet gecko for home, too!
