Many things filled our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter feeds in 2016. From Joe Biden memes to the death of Harambe, a new social media "fad" seemed to cross our feeds weekly. However, I believe the highlight of (at least my own) social media feed in 2016 were the memes or shared pictures of geckos. Here are some of the best ones:

Pet shaming:

Pet shaming...the art of snapping an adorable picture of your pet with a sign exposing their latest shenanigans. Some funny but truthful "pet shaming" pictures were posted in 2016!


Perfect captions:

Everybody has that one perfectly captioned animal meme that they just can't get over!


The ones gecko owners can relate to:

Things gecko owners can relate to, myself included!

Relatable:


Maybe take some flirting tips from this cute leopard gecko!


GIFs:


Because there's nothing cuter than gecko tongues!

A few more:



And of course the Geico references:

Because what would gecko memes be without Geico puns?

I might be slightly biased, due to owning two of my own crested geckos, but from leopards to cresties, and gargoyles to anoles, geckos are sweeping the internet, and I think we can all hope to see more of them in 2017!

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well.
