Meet Cheeta – A Little Gecko with a Whole Lot of Love to Give! 💕🦎 Cheeta may be small, but this charming gecko has a big heart and an even bigger personality! With a love for lounging and evening socializing, Cheeta is looking for a forever home where they can relax, be adored, and enjoy plenty of tasty bugs. Could that home be with you? 💘 Why You’ll Love Cheeta: ✨ A Chilled-Out Companion – This little lizard loves to hang out and relax with their favorite people. ✨ A Long-Term Valentine – With the right care, Cheeta could be your scaly sweetheart for up to 20 years! ✨ A One-and-Only Love – Unlike some other geckos, Cheeta must live solo—no roommates allowed, even if they’re a different gender! ✨ A Gentle but Delicate Friend – Cheeta enjoys gentle handling but, like all leopard geckos, can drop their tail when frightened—so careful hands are a must! A fat, healthy tail means Cheeta is thriving. ✨ A Bug-Loving Night Owl – As an insectivore who is awake at dusk and dawn, Cheeta prefers evening interactions and enjoys a variety of tasty bugs as part of a balanced diet. Cheeta’s Journey to Love: This little gecko was originally brought to the shelter for emergency boarding, but when their previous family was unable to reclaim them, they found their way into our loving care in September 2023. Cheeta has been waiting and is ready to find a forever home where they can be cherished for life! Could Cheeta be your perfect reptilian Valentine?
