Rescue gecko pictures

This is Geek. My sister knew an 11 year old getting rid of his gecko and as soon as I saw her I had to take her. The boy had gotten her from his older brother who had gotten bored with her. He told me she's about 2 1/2(he thinks). They never held her, she was skinny, dehydrated, and had a bunch of stuck shedding. He said he usually feed her a few times a month...

These are from the end of December '09

This is her now. Much better color, she gets all the shedding of herself, and eats like a pig. She's still a little skittish around us but I can't say I blame her.

I was just proud of her progress and wanted to post pictures.:D

Good on ya mate :gj:

Luckly I havnt had to do that yet, I hate to see animals in such poor health. specially ones that are so easy to take care of! You just give them food and water and theya re healthy haha. most of te time...Stoopid people should not own animals, I have to talk so many people out of getting snakes and lizards out of a sudden whim. (I spend ALOT of time at pet stores) and genrally have to educate every one on what to get, so I know basic knowledge about reptiles for that reason haha.

Such a great improvement! Great job, she's gorgeous!!

Awesome progress on her!

Well done sir! Looked like she was pretty close to losing a toe or two... Got her in the knick of time. :gj:

Thanks! I was afraid she would loose some toes. She is missing almost all of her toe nails though. Im a girl, by the way:D

You've done a great job :gj:

She looks great! Here is a rep point for you :)

she looks like a totally different animal, amazing transformation. Im sure she loves you because of what you've done for her (in her own little gecko way :) )

Well at least she doesn't bite us anymore.:D

Also, does anyone know what morph she is?

Wow, she must have really been in a bad way to be that grumpy. I've only ever been bitten by juvenile leos when they've misrecognized fingers as food - adults have always been calm and docile with me. Good on you for saving her; that shed on her feet looked awful.

Morph-wise, she looks like a normal to me. Maybe a bit on the lighter-colored end of the spectrum, especially with regard to her spots, but normal.

I think it was mostly out of fear. They hardly ever held her.

Ok thanks. I know almost nothing about leopard gecko morphs.
