Yesterday, I went to check on a leo of a friend's, who had been injured. SHe is a school teacher, and one of the kids dropped at 1lb/2lb (not sure exactly how much it weighed) rock on it. It dropped it's tail, and she said it had a cut, so I went to look at it. Well, when I got there, there was more than a cut... there was a huge gash about 1/2 an inch wide in it's lower abdomen. I wrapped him in paper towels because he was bleeding, and was about to leave to take him to the vet, when he opened his mouth VERY wide, and I heard a squirting noise. His intestines and stomache squirted out onto my hand. It was SOOOO nasty. I know the vet can't do anything for that, and if she could, the teacher wasn't going to pay for it. So I put him in the freezer. Goodthing I have an extra leo, I got from work for free. I'm going to give that one to her to replace the nasty one. This time, NO KIDS TOUCHING THE LEO WITHOUT SUPERVISION!!!!

That sounds so nasty. Poor little leo! It sounds like you did the right thing to stop his suffering. I’m sure he’s in leo heaven now. Just make sure you teacher friend and her students understand what happened (not the gory parts), and ensure they will be more careful in the future. Sorry you guys had to go through that, you did your best.
Poor little gecko 
Well he is in the huge desert in the sky poor little guy.
