The same gecko?!

[GeekyGecko]

Before:

Now:

Would you believe this is the same little guy or gal? It was soo pitiful. Emaciated, dehydrated and sooo tiny. Supposedly he was older than a month. Looked like a teeny tiny hatchling to me. Weighed only 3 grams when I got him about a month ago.

Now, He's now 9 grams, and he's a big hog! That's why his name is Munch. (and he was a little Munchkin ) He's grown into a little butt head. Haha! Always hisses or screeches when I pick him up. After that, he's perfectly content being held. LOL!

very nice turn around!! i like seeing posts like these!!!! were did s/he come from??

He actually came from Petsmart. He was on sale for $19 and I could not resist. I thought he had a better chance at thriving if I took him home with me, rather than staying there and going home with someone who might not be able to help him. I had managed a great turn around with one of my other juvies, and wanted to see if I could help this little one out too.

It's definitely a survivor. Is it a blizzard or BB?

Looks gorgeous! I'm half tempted to get another gecko. I have two, a Bearded dragon, and a betta fish right now. The geckos at PetCo are on sale, 50% off at the moment, or were yesterday! ... soooo tempted!

He's looking great! He's lucky to have you.
