I mainly rescue them from craigslist,people getting rid off them for this or that. Holly,for example,was a craigslist rescue. Her family posted her because she had a bad injury to her tail and couldn't afford the vet bills.I took her in and nursed her back to health,she was alittle under weight and had lost almost all her toes.They were good people just not sure how to care for geckos. I have a few Petco/petsmart rescues also.All of my geckos except Iggy were rescues. I have a great repetoire with my vet and I am going to school to be a vet as well so I put a lot of what I learn to work. Even tho I specialize in horses/large animals I've learned a lot of little things that help me with my reptiles as well ie. sutturing,cleaning dead skin from wounds,etc.All my animals except for 1 gecko and 1 ferret are rescues. I guess I'm just a sucker for the underdog lol.
