Are you sincerely committed to nurse a leopard gecko back to good health?

If so, then I'd be happy to give you my leucistic leopard gecko free of charge.

I've had her for about three years, but over the past 4-5 months, she hasn't been doing so hot. She tries to eat, but it seems like she doesn't have enough jaw strength to get mealworms or crickets in her mouth. I've been feeding her emergency herp food with a syringe a couple of times a week. I really want her to pull through, but I also don't want to pay a couple hundred $$ for a vet's x-ray. If you're willing to help her and you live in Orange County, California, you can have her. Email me if you're interested at nicksjunk@cox.net. Thanks.

OR does anyone know of a reptile rescue organization located in Southern California???

If you don't find a home for her, try mixing calcium powder and water, then dropping that on her nose every night for a while.

good luck with whatever you decide to do!

The following sentence is true.
The above sentence is false.

4.4 Leopard Geckos
1.0 Marbled Gecko
1.1 Red Eared Sliders
0.2 Siamese Mice

supplementing the diet with phosphorus-free calcium? If not, start right away. If it is MBD, a liquid calcium shot from a vet is in order, I would guess you should be able to get an office visit and treatment for under $100.

There are reptile rescue links on this site:

I'd gladly take her and get her going again but you'd have to ship her to Ontario Canada...That's where I am. Might be a bit of a hassle for you or a last resort.
