This was 7 years ago on this day. This was sitting at our shop door. If ever this is the case please don't drop them at our door... anyone can pick them up and we'd have no idea. I'd also worry that the person that picked them up wouldn't have their best interest. Phone me... explain the situation. Right now we are at capacity with rescues and surrenders... in this case we'd make arrangements or ask if you could give us a couple days to make this happen. What happens this time of year ...every year in the 20 some we've been in business... the "after school dump" I call it. People purchase pets of all kinds during the fall and winter....summer they become busy with out door activities and travel... they dump their pets. It's terrible but it happens year after year. It has eased up thru the years but you never know.

Update: After watching this guy a little longer ... we are holding up his adoption until we get a shed just to make sure his eyes clear. He's squinting... which may be retained shedding on and around his eyeball.

Very large, normal coloration male... surrender... looking for his long -term loving home :) Check out our website www.StingersRescueMe.com click on available adoptions.

Follow up to my post of the surrendered Leopard Gecko in the skull: Took quite a few hours but it came out. It now has a more appropriate hide that it can not get stuck in :)

I forgot to post cans/bottle for our monthly drive.... we've taken in $31.90 ... thanks to all who have contributed! We really can use the help... we've approached the "summer dump" and "school is out dump" :( 5 corn snakes and 2 leopard geckos ... and a few others this week and last week. 100% of your donations go directly to the animals. Thank you!

I don't like to alarm people. This may be one of those rare instances that a Leopard Gecko is either resting in this skull ornament or it maybe that it can't get out of this skull ornament. This was a surrender that came in... so we're going to wait it out and see what happens. If it can get in... common sense says it should be able to come out. When it comes out... it will indeed lose this ornament. :) If you have situations such as this... access it accordingly. #1 keep the ornament away from the heat. #2 if it's not out in 24 hours you will need to assist it.
