Lauren O'Brien

Lauren is the President and Founder of The Gecko Sanctuary which is primarily run out of her home just West of Boston, MA. Her passion for reptiles, and ultimately geckos, began in early 2012 and she soon called more than one scaly critter part of her family. She now has two bearded dragons, two crested geckos, one gargoyle gecko, and one Western Hognose snake on top of a couple furred animals and the rescues that come through. She loves her work in rescue (though wishes the need wasn't there) and often dedicates a lot of her time that isn't spent directly on the animals educating whomever she can on the proper care for reptiles and trying to break some of the stigma surrounding reptiles.
