Thanks you guys for the kind words. Although this is my first experience with geckos, all my life I have raised and loved all kinds of animals. Although I was annoyed that I got a "dud" from the pet shop, I wasn't about to let it suffer to death and then flush it down the toilet - it just wouldn't have felt right.

I know a lot of people don't understand that mentality. My dad even doesn't. He was shocked when he heard I took it to the vet. He said "You took a LIZARD to the vet? All you had to do was step on the thing and it would have been out of its misery." I think he was teasing me, but the thought disgusts me.

Anyway, I was really upset about the little guy, but I feel better knowing that I did what I could. Thanks everybody for all the support and interest you have shown. It proved to me that people who raise leos are very special indeed!
