I'm not sure if any of them are good enough as the only physical sign she was showing was bowing of the legs, but you are welcome to use any of the photos of my veiled Jane from the thread here:

You're also welcome to use any photos of The Kid, which is my current leopard gecko rescue.
http://wodesorel.com/kid There were three that were posted for sale on a Facebook BST site, and it was obvious from the photos they were at death's door. At the urging of the RFUK group, I explained to the owner what was going on and asked if she would be willing to give them to me if I agreed to get them veterinary help. To my surprise she agreed. The owner had followed all advice from the pet store - they never told her to dust crickets, and the tank was around 100 degrees. She had even brought them in about a month before I got them because she was so concerned about how thin they were, and instead of referring her to a vet they sold her just Reptivite and told her to use it once a week... They weren't even her geckos, she and her husband were disabled and their adult daughter dumped the geckos and a dog on them when she moved out of state. They were doing the best they knew how, since they had never had reptiles before.
One was so thin (15 grams) that we believe his organs shut down. His entire body was rubber and he bent in a U shape when picked up. The second looked to be the healthiest, but had broken legs and a severely broken jaw, along with being like rubber. He died from massive seizures a week in. All three had multiple layers of stuck shed on their feet, tails and vents. The third has a seriously misaligned back, and had a jaw so rubbery that he wasn't able to bite down on anything. MissLissa and Ferret were a blessing in getting him stabilized and on the road to recovery, and keeping me from freaking out. He's really made leaps and bounds in the last 6 weeks.
His one back knee seems to be shattered, and both front legs have compound fractures that will never heal properly. We aren't sure what is going on with his back as my vet wasn't worried about doing x-rays, but it's squirrely. I had to assist feed liquid food for almost a month before his jaw solidified enough to where he could eat whole food. His crickets still need incapacitated and tonged, and he can't really chase anything down yet, but he is on a full insect diet again, along with RescueCal +, and metacam to keep his pain levels down. (Without the metacam his feet swell and he refuses to eat.) Long term we just have to wait and see what happens, but it's looking good. He's always perky and he's very active.
These are photos of the two that didn't make it, along with the original photos all three were listed with:
