Peanut the Leopard Gecko

🦎🥜 Meet Peanut the Leopard Gecko! 🥜🦎
 
Peanut came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on August 23, 2025, after their previous owner—who had gotten them from Facebook—realized they just didn’t have enough room to keep them. Now this adorable gecko is ready to find a forever home with plenty of space to roam, bask, and hunt! 💛
