Cricket the Leopard Gecko

🦎💛 Meet Cricket the Leopard Gecko! 💛🦎
 
Cricket came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on August 5, 2025, after their owner—who is expecting a baby—could no longer keep them. Now this sweet gecko is looking for a forever home!
Cricket has a big appetite and especially loves to chow down on mealworms. 🪱 Watching them hunt is always a treat!
