Ok so my two new Leopard gecko rescues are home and settling in (one male and one female-both 3 years old). Their conditions were worrying.
They were on some sort of sand/wood grind stuff with crickets still in the tank..... So I took care of that first. They are now on a small carpet & paper towels. Talk about impaction nightmare!! Also for all three of their years on this earth they have had no supplemental heat. They are now on a heat rope and hopefully can warm up their little bellies so they'll eat for me! I won't try to feed them until tomorrow night.
Their physical condition is sub par but they're not in any immediate danger. They both however have some pretty bad stuck shed on their toes. They both are missing parts of their toes from previous complications. Also Haku is missing a little bit of the end of his tail. I'm also going to work on the stuck shed tomorrow and give them saunas.They both are also very small. But I guess I'm just used to my giant... Yoshi should be renamed to Godzillla!! They do have fat stores in their tails and aren't very skinny so I'm sure they'll do just fine.
Otherwise they are doing well and both have very easy going personalities. Haku more so then Sen. She's still a little jumpy. Hopefully though with some TLC she'll warm up to me.
I'll attach the quick pictures I snapped of them before I put them in their new home. Also If either one of them is any special morph let me know. I'm assuming they're both normals. Haku is a bit darker of a yellow brown and his spots are brown more than black. Sen is a very bright yellow with lighter grey spots. Hopefully you can tell them apart in the photos. They are easier to tell apart in person.
Glad to have them here!!!
I'm not having any luck uploading pics from my computer so here's the link to the photobucket album for them. Be sure to keep your eye out for the one where Haku is looking out the little window! It's so cute! He's already a goofball!!
