Well to be honest, I use to buy alot of books before whenever I lived in a big city. Now I live in a real small town and the nearest bookstore is more than an hour away...

PLUS they are highly inferior to my use to be Half Priced Books store ;_;

For fuck's sake. Go to Google, type in your area and 'gecko'. If it is a gecko (and if it isn't I'll eat my laptop) then it'll probably be an insectivore. MEANS IT EATS INSECTS.

op here

welps I couldnt find the time after work to buy any substrate or fake plants or mealworms...

My bro had some fish food so I crunched some up and shoved it in the bottle. Hopefully he'll eat some? I also put in a little water and then placed my bottle on a heating pad set to low. It feels about 80 degrees. Seems alright.

go to the pet store after work and take care of him! He's too cute to die
>> Hentai-Jedi !Pzfs.fsjKo
you dont think he'll eat the fish food? >.>

I've been watching him all day but I havent seen him eat, dunno if he just doesnt feel like it or he cant eat it.

But I'll catch the next time off of work

He most likely won't eat FISH food. Get him some real food asap.
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j

NO! You have to take care of him and let him go! Go to the store tomorrow on your lunch hour and take care of him!!!!

have him sell car insurance to earn his keep
>> Hentai-Jedi !Pzfs.fsjKo
Well, I already have 3 pet dogs and a cat.

I was gonna keep it, but after going to the local walmart and not being able to find an insect-in-a-jar alternative and the nearest petstore is an hour away, I think I'm going to have to let it go. =\
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j
>>312810

he's cute, but if you can't take care of him right now please let him go before something happens. He's really cute and he should be treated well and set free again.

Another gecko will come along im sure, and at least you have pics of him
>> Hentai-Jedi !Pzfs.fsjKo
Well, I found him in my house....

if I release him into my house and find a dead lizard one day I'm gonna be really depressed....

and if I release it outside... well... its not naturally suppose to be outside is it? Its a HOUSE gecko >.> and I've never been able to catch a gecko.
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j
>>312818

put him gently back where you found him and he will find his own way :)

if you can't give him what he needs right away, then he's got to be able to fend for himself.

or drive very quickly to the nearest pet store and take care of him too?

OP is a retard.

"Well, I found an animal I know nothing about. I think I'll put it in a jar, and keep it as a pet!"

"Well, it hasn't eaten anything in a day, so... I think TOMORROW I'll go buy some actual food for it..."

"Well, I was too fucking lazy to get off my fat fucking ass and get some actual shit for it, so I'll just shove some fish food and a lamp in it's face, and hope it doesn't die. I mean, I had time to catch it, and starve it, but I didn't have time to drive for an hour. A WHOLE ENTIRE FUCKING HOUR, OMG. BUYING IN BULK IS A FOREIGN CONCEPT TO ME, but it's okay for this little critter to starve for now... three days."

"Well, still too lazy to buy anything to care for it, so I think I'll just keep it in a jar with food it can't eat and hope it doesn't die."

One month later in /fa/...

"Hey /fa/, like my baby gecko skeleton necklace? 8D"

and besides, I work fucking everyday. Driving out of town takes an hour and driving back takes another hour. Shit closes at 8 and I get off of work at 6.

And buying in bulk was never a problem so stfu

sure it is a house gecko, but I find tons of them right outside my house near the outdoor lights. They are usually feasting on what bugs flutter around it. So releasing it there was a good idea :3 It probably got scared into your house when someone was entering anyway. I doubt it would survive long inside a house unless it is kept slightly warm and they have access to plenty of bugs xP

House geckos are awesome.

Why the fuck did you release it? It's an invasive species. You should have killed it or kept it as a pet. They're hardy fuckers and would wait for you to get the necessary food. They don't need special lighting or anything. Simplest motherfucking captive reptiles ever.

Goddammit, if they're invasive, KEEP THAT SHIT AS A PET OR KILL IT.
