What an amazing story, and what a gentle and kind boy Pascal is! Every rescue story makes me more and more certain that I'm making the right decision quitting my job as a vet tech to apply to vet school so that I can specialise in exotics. Hopefully, in the future, I'll be able to set up a small reptile sanctuary as well. ❤

How important is sight to Leopard Geckos? Where does it rank next to hearing/smell/etc?

@maromania7 3 жыл бұрын

In the wild it's ranked pretty highly, they can actually see color even in the dark and it's how they hunt/avoid predators. That being said, in an enclosure Pascal can live fairly normally without it. Might need help hunting for if they use something fast like crickets, but leopard geckos have a great sense of hearing so they'll be fine with slower prey.

Do the damaged toes grow back or is that permanent damage (I dont know these things - some animals can regrow weird stuff, lol)? At the end of the video they looked really good [the ones that showed, at least, but then again I have no idea what theyre supposed to look like so I could be wrong in feeling happy about it] And... is he going to get spots back? Why doesnt he have any? Was it from the shed issue or something else? lol, Im so ignorant and I have so many questions. 🐆🦎❓

@animalwondersmontana 3 жыл бұрын

Sadly, the parts of the toes that died and fell off won't regrow. Sometimes, if the toes are just swollen or have a small wound, they can heal and the skin will grown back over the injured areas. Your right about growing weird things back, though! Leopard geckos can lose their entire tail and the base will scab over and then completely regrow over the next year.

@catzkeet4860 3 жыл бұрын

I believe he’s one of the light colour morphs, which means he HAS the spots, they’re just very pale and hard to see.

@CrescentMoonPye 3 жыл бұрын

@@animalwondersmontana Thanks for 'edumacating' me! I'm very sad about the toes as no animal deserves to suffer like that but Im comforted that he's found a good home and you can keep tabs on him as he gets back to his healthy self. I do hope his eyesight gets better too and he gets spots. lol My brother had adorable Anoles [sp?] when we were kids and their tails fell off on occasion over their long lifetimes of us playing with them too much (the ones that didnt escape and hide under the bookcase where we couldnt recapture them, that is. Thankfully they were few.). 😭🦎 Watching their tails regrow was gross and neat at the same time! lol 🍃Nature is weird n wonderful in all its ways.

@animalwondersmontana 3 жыл бұрын

He likely went far longer than a few weeks without eating. Leopard geckos store fat in their tail so they can survive months without food. His tail is so thin and he couldn't see or hear to be able to catch anything before he came to us. I'm actually surprised he wasn't thinner than he was.
