Sam the Leopard Gecko

🦎💛 Meet Sam the Leopard Gecko! 💛🦎
 
Sam came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on September 5, 2025, after their previous owner’s kids lost interest. This gentle gecko is looking for a home that understands reptiles make lifelong companions—not short-term pets. With their calm personality and curious nature, Sam is ready to brighten someone’s day (and night)! 🌙✨
