Meet my two foster Leopard Geckos :) Unnamed still, had them for a week now.
I rescued these two leopard geckos who were being starved at a pet store that I intern at. The person who normally cared for them just up and left, and all of the animals were going hungry, geckos included. In order to save them from starvation I took them home, since the other workers were taking no steps to help them. No calcium on site, crickets and poo littering the cage, only a heat lamp, and only one hide. I work fish, otherwise I'd have taken them earlier. As it was, I took them as soon as I noticed how bad off they were. And when I say "rescue" I DO mean rescued. That is, I didn't pay for them. I know some people don't like the word "rescued" if it doesn't pertain to animals acquired in a manner so that the store doesn't profit, so I thought I'd explain that.
Anyways, I had a twenty gallon long on hand that I put them in. Waited a few days, sexed them, and am pretty certain I have a male and a female. I know keeping them together isn't ideal, but this is rather a short-term possession. I'm going to college in a few months and will need to re-home these two as soon as they're healthy enough. Here they are!
