Hello. The veterinarians that do the vaccination clinics are not able to examine exotics, but many Petcos now have in-clinic facilities & it is possible that the veterinarian may be knowledgeable about RESs. I would call all the Petcos within your vicinity & see if there is anyone available to help, otherwise, you will need to find a vet that includes exotics in their practice. Check www.vetlocator.com to find one. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

What you have appears to be an aquatic/semi-aquatic species of turtle. Basic requirements include a tank of at least 10 gallons initially, a water heater, a water filter, a basking area out of the water, a heat lamp and a UVB light source.

A 10 gallon tank can be purchased in the local Petco for less than twenty dollars ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/fish/fish-aquariums-kits/aquariums-up-to-ten-gallons/aqueon-standard-glass-aquarium-tank-10-gallon ). It would be easier to keep and secure than a laundry hamper. Given the temps required for geckos, plastic may not be the best option either. You will need a a heat lamp for day use and maybe a heat source if nighttime temperatures drop below 70 F. You can use slate, reptile carpet, plain paper towels or a coconut fiber substrate.

Unfortunately I do not think there is a proper ''adoption'' service but on their website there seem to be pages dedicated to it. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/pet-adoptions Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Hello. For the best health & living conditions for your anole, please only use products designed for them. Heating pads are dangerous & reptiles are not plants & require a very specific spectrum of light to grow in a healthy manner. In the long run, you will have less problems & metabolic health issues if you prepare a proper environment for your pet. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
