Keywords: Giant Day Gecko Phelsuma Grandis
This is a Giant Day Gecko ( 9" male ) I had adopted from a very abusive home. He had lived in a bare 10 gallon tank with no cover, and only a normal house bulb over his cage. He was only given a still water dish and fed a diet of baby food for 3 years.
When he was given up, I adopted him and he now lives alone in a 90 gallon terrarium. He's been fun, and is probably the most impressive looking herp I own after I got his skin looking better.
This particular photo I liked because of the perspective and the texturing of his skin.
Good work, were the people just un educated or purposely abusive?

They didn't feel like reading up about it, or doing anything at all. They also own a caimen, large python, and a horrible fish tank. So, half neglect & half misknowledge.
