Her message is below:

Please keep an eye out for a stray leopard gecko. She escaped on 22 - 23 February from Berhampore. She may be in your garden. She likes dark places on the ground and may climb small structures.

She is yellow with dark brown spots and a fat tail (she may have dropped her tail in fright). She is 22cm long including tail.

If found please catch her. She is friendly and never bites, but she can get spooked easily. She can detach her tail if scared or pulled by the tail.

If found, seen or caught please contact my partner Shane on 022 108 1728.

Thank you!!

Ideally, I am looking for women who are due before the end of October this year and any gestation is welcome. It doesn’t matter if you have just found out you are pregnant or are due to give birth soon.
I would follow the progression of the pregnancy, attend the birth and have 6 weeks of follow up visits with you and the baby, similar to your own LMC. The level of my involvement would be completely up to you and what you would feel comfortable with whether I attend your birth is up to you.
If this sounds like something that would interest you please message me (0278165379) and we can discuss further details :) Thank you
