Skotos is a mother of 6, and most of her babies have already been adopted! She was abandoned 1.5 months back and raised her kids under her fosterer’s care.

Unlike most of her children, she’s a real sweetheart and will approach hands inquisitively to be picked up despite coming from a harsh background. Most of the time treats are not even required to entice her out though with her cute snout sniffing at your outstretched hand (and maybe even some licks) one is likely to give in to whatever demands she wants.

Skotos is not picky with any of her food and will happily eat most Syrian specific sprays placed into her enclosure as well as all treats. She’s not a huge hoarder as well, and one can sometimes even find her belly up in her sandbath snoozing away and will not even wake up when gently stroked.

Will you be the one for this adorable mom?
