Our beloved Leopard Gecko, Gizard (Gizzy) Steven Gold, passed away during our sleep Saturday night. His passing was not unexpected by all. I had noticed he stopped eating and pooping, two of his favorite pastimes, a few days a go. However, his passing has left many mourners behind.(I am not one of them)
Gizzy was survived by his roommates, Zoe and Sophie, the glass-tapping pests, Connor and Emma, his caretaker,Tony and of course, Me. I liked to reminded him how much he smelled every chance I got.
Gizzy was only with us a short time, 2 months, but it seemed much longer. I am sure he will not be forgotten any time soon. Especially the fact that when he was found dead in his cage, his face was sunken in and his eyes had fallen out. (This is not a phenomenon I witnessed on my own, it has been described to me, and anyone who comes to our house, in graphic detail many, many times)
Gizzy was peacefully laid to rest on the side of our house in a Ziploc bag under about 6 inches of soil.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Zoe, Sophie, Emma, and Conner. And a woot woo for you Ash! My kids will miss him as well.
I am so sorry for your loss. Now you'll have to get another lizard to fill the void in your childrens' lives. You don't want them emotionally messed up do you...:)
He has gone to a better place. His legacy will live within our hearts forever.
Oh my gosh! This is too funny.
