I was having a really bad day. So I went to my local pet superstore to look at the cute widdle weptiles to cheer me. I saw this tiny gecko looking really skinny with nothing but REALLY BIG mealworms to eat. They had run out of the little crickets. I told them that they should just give it to me so I could nurse it back to health and they agreed. I promised them that I would take it to the vet if it didn't start looking better over the next few days.
So I took it home and made it a nice temperary home in a large size lee's herp haven. It looked so skinny that I didn't want to wait to feed it, so I threw a half dozen tiny crickets in (that I just happen to have laying around) and it ate three IMMEDIATELY! It also perked up some. I think their viv was too hot, I could be wrong, but it didn't seem to have a cool side. It's been hanging out on the cool side of mine.
I'm sorry the picture is so bad (cellphone), but I think you can see how immaciated it is.
Any advice on how to best care for it would be appreciated. I figured it was better with me looking after it, then being left in the petshop with the BIG WORMS!
