Flash the Leopard Gecko

🦎⚡ Meet Flash the Leopard Gecko! ⚡🦎
 
Flash came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on August 23, 2024, during our Exotic Pet Surrender Event in Menasha after their previous owner realized their cat was a little too interested in this gecko. At about 10 years old, Flash is a seasoned reptile with lots of experience—and they still love chasing down crickets and worms like a pro! 🪱🐛
