This year Guernsey has seen a grey squirrel jump out of the back of a van and a Madeiran lizard found in a suitcase.
Last Thursday a small reptile believed could be a tarentola mauritancia was found near Jefferies Garage.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We really do not know what we are going to have to help or arrive in Guernsey.”
“This year has been a real surprise from the grey squirrel, a Madeiran Lizard and last week we had another non indigenous animal brought in to us by a kind member of public.”
“An islander near Jefferies Garage found what we think could be a tarentola mauritancia often know as Common Wall Gecko.”
“This small lizard was accepted by one of our team Seb Goman and is currently in a quarantine area as they aren’t native to Guernsey.”
Seb Goman Senior Animal Care and Welfare Assistant said “Every day at the GSPCA is different.”
“We never know what will come in next and on Thursday last week a little lizard was brought to us which is now in a vivarium in a quarantine area.”
Steve continued “Now named Rosey, she is in quarantine at the GSPCA and like previous reptile arrivals if healthy then we will look to find it a new home as it is so difficult to get them back to their native lands, which we all know from the challenges with Barnacle Bill who is only now heading to the Azores from the Sealife centre in Brighton after nearly 2 years in care.”
“We are always looking for loving homes for animals and we do have many cats, lots of rabbits, ferrets, and you will often see many home to homes on our social media so if wanting to give an animal a home please do complete an online adoption form or pop in and say hello.”
