This is Idril

Well, she has a story…I picked her up on Friday from someone who didn't want her. A young kid, who's mom didn't even like lizards. (but had no issue with mice…eww)lol. ANYWAY…she was a store-bought(the big p-co one) gecko, and they told her that just a towel to keep her warm was ok. :main_huh: WHY do these places tell people anything other then DO YOUR RESEARCH. OK…so I got her and she was indeed on a baby blanket, with a small bowl of water. no UTH was ever used, no moist hide, but a big hide to retreat to. I got a new bowl for her, and a UTH, more non-slip drawer liner, and got her home. she actually looks pretty good for not having the right set up OR a UTH. She's active and is eating and licking up the calcium/vits that i have in there. she spends a lot of time on that heat mat tho. lol. i think she's in love with it. I will be getting a bigger tank for her, but for now, i think she's ok in the 10.

She must be like, "OMG! HEAT!" ... some of the things you hear from pet store employees are just ludicrous.

Good job with the rescue. I look forward to updates.

A blanket? That's a new one. So glad you have her now and she'll get the proper care.
