What do you mean by rescued?

Nice assortment of pets!

That unnamed leopard gecko is so skinny. I'd give it some wax worms and dusted crickets ASAP!

evil- "rescued" means i took them from a bad situation. Adopted is I adopted them from either a breeder that didnt want them anymore, or an animal shelter.

VF- I know! I'm working on it, he's so small too...

And by "bad situation" I really hope you didn't take them from a pet store.

Yep. But, I got discounts and crap too (im only talking about the leos). I know about supporting the industry and everything, I made the choice. And I'd do it again. These are strickly pets, anyways.

Shadow, my dad got from a backyard breeder that (after her not selling, and the rest of the litter had) was going to just take her to the pound. My dad asked for her, and brought her home, didn't pay a penny for her.

The turtle was given to my science teacher, who was going to put her in a 10g tank, with about 1/2 in of water, and didn't know what she ate. I demanded to have her, and after a long-winded argument he agreed.

sweet pix!

Purchasing from pet stores, unless given free, is not rescuing. It is actually harming the leos in the future. The store made a profit from it and will buy replacements for it. Don't call them "rescues" because its not actually rescueing.

angelo- thank you!

Evil- I consider it rescueing. You may not, but I do. So I call it what I consider it. In this case- not nessicarily (wow, cant spell.) harming leos in the future. These guys are from Petco, and this Petco tnds to be very good with the care of their leos, and only a few (2-3) times a year do I see one in bad conidition. Call it what you want, I'll call it what I want.
