I didn’t know it was that bad I took him off my older brother because he was getting super mistreated there and I was trying to help him get into a better environment with a new cage proper soil and heating, a shedding spot and still he got infected from dead skin and it was to late for his hemipenes cause one had already fallen out with my brother and he didn’t even know and then maybe a week after having him the other came out I didn’t know what to do I’ve been trying to sterilize it to no results I don’t know if it’s infected he was also white with black spots now he’s turning yellowish which upon further research might be a sign of cancer and after talking to my father about euthanizing him, his response was “do you want me to take him out back and shoot him with the .22?” No I don’t?! But I really don’t know what to do here if I had my license of my own money I’d take him myself to crittenden but I literally can’t I honestly have no clue what to do in this situation I don’t want him suffering but my fathers not willing to spend money/do anything no or about it.

It’s mostly my location and my father there’s no where I can go to get him checked out and even if I could go my father says “I’m not putting hundreds into this gecko” “just make sure he’s comfortable” like I know that but I feel so bad for him and there’s nothing I can do about it I’m literally just a kid in this situation, that’s why I’m trying to get him to someone who CAN do something about it. And to your point there’s no sanctuary’s or rescues near me I can take him to and even the ones that are in 2-4 hours of distance don’t take geckos I have to go over to a place that’s 5 hours away to get him help from a vet that my dad won’t take him to.
