    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.

    Re: Rescue gecko pictures

    Good on ya mate

    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.
