Lizards
Zoot, Leopard Gecko
|
|
Age: 2-3 years
Morph: Unknown
Sex: Male
Personality: He can be unsure at first when you reach in to grab him, but once he's being held he does ok. He needs and deserves a loving forever home where he can feel safe and loved.
History: He is in good health now, but has had some struggles in the past. He suffered metabolic bone disease from a previous owner, but it just made his legs shorter. He gets around fine, he just cannot climb anything. He had a small wound in his hemipene area, it was stitched and has since healed but when he sheds he will need help with removing it around that area. He eats anything and is not picky.
If you are interested in adopting Zoot, please complete an adoption application and contact Amy with any questions.

Adoptable Bearded Dragons Requirements
Enclosure checklist for adopting a Bearded Dragon through NCHS:
1) The minimum enclosure size needs to be 36" by 18" floorspace (40 gallon breeders are perfect).
2) UVB tube lighting, either T8 (which must be hung under the screen), or T5 (which is the better option providing stronger UVB) provides the best UVB coverage.
3) Heat/basking lighting (a halogen flood light provides UVA and par that mimics our Sun) is the goal to creating a "sunlike" environment.
4) NO red bulbs! (red bulbs are an invention of the pet industry, they don't provide sunlike brightness if used for heat during the day, and if used at night can impair sleep patterns with the third eye of the BD).
5) NO coil UVB bulbs (coil UVB provides UVB in one particular spot, beardies need a range of UVB in many temperature zones, which tubes provide well)
6) Nighttime heat is not needed if your house does not dip below 65 degrees. If it does, use a Ceramic Heat Emitter, this will provide heat without light.
7) NO loose substrate of any kind. That includes sand, calcium-sand, crushed walnut shells, and anything loose that can be ingested. These harbor bacteria, can cause impaction and respiratory infections, and are unsanitary. Good choices are tile, reptile carpet, newspaper, and paper towels.
