Adult Infrared
The history of Ray-Ban sunglasses dates back much farther than most fashion gurus realize; all the way back to 1937, when Bausch and Lomb took out a patent to develop a special anti-glare lens to filter out ultraviolet and infrared rays.
The glasses immediately became a hit with the US Army Air Corps and continued to be worn by military men and women for some time. In fact, General Douglas MacArthur sported a pair of Ray-Ban aviators during World War II, furthering the history of Ray Ban sunglasses when Americans at home jumped on the style bandwagon as well.
Another trend that helped the history of Ray-Ban sunglasses along was their appearance in many Hollywood films. While many of us saw our first pair of Ray-Bans in movies like Risky Business or Men in Black, the glasses in movies actually date back to Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961. The Blues Brothers, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, were also seen sporting the classic Wayfarers in their films and Tom Cruise made them a hit with the younger crowd after modeling them in his movie debut Risky Business.
Today, the history of Ray-Ban sunglasses lives on with Barack Obama showing off his own style on the cover of Ebony Magazine. The younger crowd can also get in on the action with the example set by the popular music group The Jonas Brothers, who flaunt their own favorite brand frequently. With many styles and colors to choose from today, it appears that the history of Ray-Ban sunglasses will continue for many years to come.

Is my African Fat-tailed Gecko healthy?
About a month ago I bought an African fat tailed gecko from Petsmart. She lives in a 55 gallon tank with a male and female leopard gecko with plenty of hiding spots, crickets full of calcium, a water dish, and wood chip floor bedding. The temperature usually stays around mid 70s to mid 80s with an infrared heat light being used at night (they love it). All 3 are adults and get along with one another. However, my AFT rarely ever leaves her hiding spots (day or night). Her eyes always seem to be closed, she doesn’t like to move much, and shes very objectionable to being handled. I’m not sure if its just my imagination or not, but I also think her tail has been getting thinner (which I’m sure would mean shes not eating). I know this is partly due to her nature (being less outgoing than her leopard cousins), but are there other factors involved? Is she acting like any other fat tail would or is there something in particular I should do about her?
African fat tailed geckos and leopard geckos have different habitat condition requirements and therefore need to be housed separately. African fat tailed geckos require higher temps and humidity which could be a reason why she’s not moving around much. Also, just because you’re not seeing it her cage mates may be stressing her out. Here is a care sheet on fat tails: http://www.familyzoo.us/AFT%20Care%20Sheet.htm. Here is a care sheet for leopard geckos: http://www.geckosetc.com/htm/care.htm. If you look at the care sheets you will see the differences. You can buy a 20-29 long tank for her and I think she will do much better. Good luck.
