Adopting/rescuing leopard geckos

Elizabeth City NC

Description

Hello! Not looking to purchase reptiles, but posting on the off chance someone might be looking to rehome theirs. I have 6+yrs of experience in leopard geckos, and I actually keep a couple different species. They may not get the individualized attention a single pet may receive but I make sure they are kept in meticulously clean conditions, are kept on a thermostat, eat a variety of (dusted w multivitamin!) prey items, and get enrichment in different ways. When they come to the front of their bins I will usually let them out and interact with them so they will feel happy. If they beg for food I will feed them. If they surf the side of the bin then I will let them out to run around and explore in a (dry) kiddie pool filled with hides and such, access to uvb (either a lamp or outdoors depending on if the weather is nice), etc. I also make sure they are dewormed pretty regularly (prey items can carry parasites). I spend a lot of time on my geckos and I take good care of them! I have also rescued and nursed several with health issues such as one that fell prey to a dog attack, one that was a cat attack, and one that had MBD. They are all doing pretty fantastic now and living their best lives. (The cat attack victim is an amputee, and she can hunt crickets better than any of my other geckos.) I also have experience in dwarf monitors, crested geckos, dwarf geckos of various species, aquatic turtles, frogs/toads of various species, ball pythons, corn/rat snakes, tarantulas, other inverts, crustaceans (yes, multiple species of crab), etc. If you're in a pickle I'd be more than willing to take any of the above (or similar, like tortoises or large lizards such as tegu, yes I have space), but I mainly specialize in snallish lizards. If you're interested to hear about any of my other rescues or want advice about yours, please don't hesitate to shoot a message. I can also send pictures of the adoptee from time to time via snapchat, Facebook, or text if you want! The catch is, I don't pay for a rescue reptile -- I already have to pay for the enclosure, all accessories to go in it, feeders, deworming etc. But I am a very experienced person (with some veterinary background) willing to take on homeless/hurt/special needs geckos if you're in a bind and/or worried about them! I can promise an excellent home. Pic is of my first leopard gecko, taken yesterday! She is now almost 7yo and I've had her from when she was a baby. (The reddish spot under her is her multivitamin, it dropped on the paper towel during feeding. I know it looks suspicious! It always scares me when I forget it's vitamins lol.) I also have 13 other leopard geckos and many other reptiles all doing just as fabulously as she.
