Darwin- Rescue Gecko

I figured I'd share the story of my favorite gecko, Darwin (Yeah, I play favorites )

Darwin was a rescue i got from someone who didn't want "her" anymore. (they dropped it off to me at the shop i work at). "she" was 2years old and only 7.2 grams.. it was one of the saddest things i've ever seen... that was last summer.

here is his progression:

6-25-08: 7.22 grams




7-24-08: 13.2 grams



8-17-08: 19.2 grams (and MALE for sure!!)





10-17-08: 31.0 grams (he stayed steady in the low 30s for awhile, so this is just a random date i knew i took these photos on, but he was at that weight before, too)




and from there, it didnt take long to get him where he is now:











He's at a pretty steady 37 grams these days. He's as healthy as ever, and I paired him with a female this season, but 1/2 her eggs were infertile and the others didn't make it- she was a first-time female so i expected that.

Darwin really is my favorite gecko. he has tons of personality, i can't help but love him XD

thanks for looking!

Aww Great Rescue!! I love that last pic!!

He is cute!

Good job (pats on back) :main_thumbsup:

Great story, Darwin is lucky to have found you!

aw!
Darwin is adorable!!
NICE head structure!

WOW great job! I can see why he's your favorite.... He is so darn cute!

You did a great job with him! Love the pics!

=D I am glad you saved him. it is so cruel how people leave animals.. No offense to you of course, but I doubt she even researched your store before giving him to you. It could of been the worst shop ever! Which I am glad to say it clearly isn't!
