Adopting/rescuing leopard geckos

Hampton VA

Description

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.)
