Doh....I thought YOU were trying to get rid of a leo!


I've never heard of anyone being allergic to any reptile. And if someone were, I would imagine it would be an allergy to whatever enzymes are in the saliva from a bite. Which makes it highly unlikely that he's really allergic to the gecko. (So far as I know) I'll bet they're using some sort of dusty substrate, if he's really allergic to anything.

More likely, they got it...decided it was boring or too much effort or the kids lost interest after the first 30 minutes of "oooooh, aaaahhh"....and they just want to unload it. At least they're willing to find it a new home, rather than let it languish in a forgotten corner of the home like some folks do when they get tired of their "cool" pet.
