Sookie Sookie is very special, he is blind. He was born with eye deformities, which I contribute to fluctuations in incubator temps. ( I have since bought a Nature Spirit Incubator) Shortly after hatching his eyes sunk inward. Since day one, I have put aqua lube in his eyes twice a day to preserve and moisten his eyeballs, so further issues can be prevented. When I put his picture on some of the gecko forums explaining my concerns, many said to “cull” (kill) him. Being who I am and what I stand for this wasn’t even a option. I bred his mother, I incubated the egg, I watched him hatch, I helped bring him into this world, he is my responsibility 100%. He lives what I would consider a good life, doing just about everything that a sited gecko would do. As I was watching him in his condo I noticed that he “rides” along the sides of his enclosure to find all the things he needs in his everyday life. I keep all his furniture and dishes in the same places at all times, He is loving, sociable and very affectionate. He is my TV buddy each and every night, and we both look forward to spending time together. I do not know what the future holds for this little guy, his growth is somewhat in limbo, He is 3 months old in this picture and only weighs in at 8grams. I have started him on a high calorie diet which consists of butterworms and waxworms which is hand fed to him so I know what he is taking in. I pray each day that he will be with me for many years to come and his picture and story will always be an inspiration to others with disabled pets. ”LET NOT THE THORNS, KEEP YOU FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE ROSE” †
