Why humid hides are very important

[LoveForLeos]

I picked up (rescued) 3 geckos recently. They were originally purchased from reputable breeders at a OKC, Ok show last year.

I was told that the gentleman could no longer feed them or care for them. He had intentions to breed them but no longer had time. When I met him to pick up the geckos I noticed one of the girls had HORRIBLE looking toes! Most were already missing, some were black and/or bloody and she still had stuck shed on many. It was heart breaking! When I pointed it out to the gentleman he claimed to not notice. Obviously this gecko was not offered a good humid hide to aid with shedding. Needless to say, she was free and now living in a correct set-up and loving her humid hide!

Other 2 geckos were a little thin ( Was told they hadnt eaten for several weeks because he couldnt afford their food) Happy to report that they are doing well also and already seems to be gaining a bit of weight back (Had them for 2 weeks now)

Poor little feets By looking at that fat tail, she isn't thin. The other two are just a bit, as you said. Hopefully they will all be back to good health soon Glad the guy was willing to give them up before things got worse, a lot hold off, and the geckos really suffer. Good luck!
