Ugly Betty, first month of recovery, before and after pics!... still working on her
Just wanted to share with you a little about her story... I first met her exactly one month ago, on april 5th in a trip to Atlanta, she was "for adoption" in a PETCO store... I didn;t know how to get her to my country (Venezuela) but I adopted her... I managed to get her here, and she is recovering... here are some pics from her at the PETCO store (love at first sight  ) stil in the hand of the Petco salesgirl:
After seeing that I inmediately took her with me, poor thing... so skinny , these are a couple of pics I took the same day in the Hotel I was staying :
And finally, today, may 5th, exactly one month later, this is she today:
Can you see any hint of a morph?? I believe she is just a cute normal leo, but maybe she has some something....
I named her Betty (after Ugly Betty) because she looked hideous! but now I dont want to change her name.... so, she remains just Betty!
She eats very well, her skin has improved 100%, she is very docile and lovable! I still have her quarantined but she is doing great, great apetite (I feed her every day, crickets, mealworms, grasshoppers, vitamins, calcium) nice looking poo also! She was 15 grames when I got her... she is 23 now, and hopefully she'll continue to recover great!!

She looks amazing! Your TLC worked wonders. I can't believe how big her tail has gotten in one month, let alone gaining 8 grams. Great job!

Not only did you save her life but you also turned her into a nice looking gecko. Good Job!

Thanks!! I like her very much!! I cant imagine how she lost her tail, because she is very docile, must have been in a fight, but she is a female.... that's strange

She looks amazing, such a beautiful girl! It's hard to believe she's she same girl from those first photos. You did an unbelievable job at nursing her back to health.

Well done Saskia! I remember you talking about her when you got her. Its amazing how you've managed to get her back to such great health in such a short time! And her tail, I remember looking at her first picture 4 weeks ago and thinking it would grow back really short and stubby. for a regenerated tail it actually doesnt look that bad!!
