Geckos.... Why did it have to be so many geckos....

HA! If you know me well, you are now laughing. Figured another update on the pookie doodles... The leopard geckos are kicking ass man! The crestie has FINALLY p**ped which means I got that metabolism going. The gargoyle is finally eating the CGD for me. It is super sketchy, so trying to keep him in a quieter corner so he has less chaos when I am in the room and only sees me when I come to do his cage.

But my Leopards. Mang, those little bad boys are rocking. And Ima be honest, either they are still really weak or I have an exceptionally nice batch of geckos here. I have two so far that are a lil flighty but I have a few that I can easily say would make fantastic first time gecko pets for kids. I mean, they haven't bit me yet and you ALL who know me, know what that says. The ones I am holding actually are somewhat friendly and seem to approach me for handling.

All the leopards are now eating daily and I go in there a few times giving them a few worms. When I do main feed and clean, I I look everyone over, if they are at the front of the tub looking at me and their cage is empty, they get 5 more. If when I go back in the room, they hit the front of the tub and it's empty, they get more. Their urates are finally looking white like they are supposed to but their f***s is still a thing of nightmares however they are starting to improve and look a bit like they should. I expect about 2 more weeks and I should see normal waste. This is fairly common when you restart the digestive system of a starved animal. In the beginning when they start eating again, their body holds everything back as a defense in case it is going to starve again. Then when it eats for a while, it slowly starts releasing the bad stuff that it has been holding back forever just in case there was some nutrition it could process.

Im expecting the geckos to be ready to go late September/Early October. They could be brought to the Tinley show if anyone is interested.

When the snakes p**p and I am ready to feed em again, I will get some pics and video as well! All three will def make a good recovery. Both the Milk snake and the King snake are great starters as well and if they keep eating like they are now, they will be great keepers!

Here's a few updated kids with their intakes.

I'm going to add this here at the end of these posts in case some people aren't aware of the situation. Remember, these came in on August 6, we just got custody Friday but have been handling their care with MADACC after they were seized from what I have coined hell house. In case you missed the initial news report https://www.wisn.com/article/city-workers-discover-dozens-dead-dogs-reptiles-inside-milwaukee-home/61818757 there was one in the journal as well. That was it. No the guy is not in custody. They do not know where he is. There were more than 50 dead dogs there. I have filed my reports from the scene, intake and some of my notes from their care with the MADACC, the police and
the DA. I am willing to testify if they catch him, press charges and it goes to court. There were 16 live reptiles and 2 live dogs that made it out. These are the sorts of situations Small Scale Reptile Rescue exists for.
