Poor Geico

[k9krazee]

I'm sure most of you don't remember, but I have a Tokay Gecko named Gieco that I've had for about 5 years now.

Heres a couple pictures of her





Well...this morning I got an email from my brother saying that her tank started on fire! The heat lamp actually blew up and I'm assuming that the wood around the top of the tank is what caught on fire. Things inside the tank also started to burn. Luckily the house didn't catch on fire too, there's just some smoke damage, this happened really early this morning.

I'm scared for my gecko now though. She's alive but I know that the smoke inhalation couldn't have been good. She's living in a temporary tank in front of a heater. My mom's going to contact some local pet stores today and see if any will take her

I just wanted to let you guys know, and it breaks my heart. I wish I had more details because I don't understand how something like this could happen. I think it's just a way for my family to slowly get rid of my pets.

I am so sorry.((HUGS))I prayer Geico is ok.She is a beautiful gecko.Is your family not animal lovers?

[buttercup132]

Thats horrible. I always used to fear the heat lamps catching fire somehow. I hope she finds a good home and gets better. Thank goodness she wasn't killed.

Thanks guys, I hope she's okay too.

Is your family not animal lovers?

They are for the most part. My family is having a really hard time at the moment though, we're having issues with one of the dogs. They've never really liked Geico because you can't hold her, you can't interact with her, all we do is supply food and lights when they blow up. They've been trying to give her away since the day they agreed to let me take her So now I guess it was the final straw, the house could've burned down if nobody was home to find it this morning...

I just hope she finds a better home, since I left I know she hasn't been taken care of like she should be.

Aww that is so sad I really hope you can find a good home for Geico. And I am so glad that your house didn't catch on fire and also that your Gecko was okay and didn't get burnt. Poor little guy, good luck on finding a new Forever home for him.
