Gecko Visit Fearless Four

 On Friday Chelsea's dad, Rick, brought a range of New Zealand gecko to show us. They were amazing! 
Rick breeds endangered gecko for the Department of Conservation (DOC). We learned so much about the different species and Miss K even got to hold them (except the BIG one as Rick said it bites!).
Did you know that NZ geckos are reptiles who do not lay eggs? They have live births and the babies are tiny!
They all felt cold and damp, but were very well behaved and didn't jump around too much.
