    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have seen a couple of posts lately in the other forum in regards to regenerated tails. I thought I would post the only experience I have in the matter. I have only ever had this one gecko who has droped a tail. It took place during a photo shoot. I was taking pics and dropped the camera on his tail(now I know what the little wrist strap is for). I felt horrible and went into panic mode. For anyone who hasn't wittnessed this, consider yourself lucky. I can see that it is a great defense technic. I for one was thourghly confused. There was not much blood but it seemed like a ton. The tail was flailing all over the place I didn't know what to do. I looked at my gecko and he was just sitting there as calm as can be. I picked him up and put him into a new clean container. The tail is still violently thrashing around the old container. I was so distrought I forgot to take any pics of the whole mess. The pics I have are of the day after. He has remained calm and very handleable since this has happened. I glad he didn't hold a grudge. I have within the last two weeks put him with two of my females from last year and even though I don't hear the obvious rattling I do from some of my other tanks, I have witnessed coupulation. I will be expecting eggs in a couple of weeks. I see know reason why a male without his tail can't get the job done.

Finally this one is from today.
I did not treat his wound at all. I tried to keep him and his enclosure clean. I kept the temps around 90-92 degrees. I made sure he always had mealies in his bowl with calcium. He was feed the same as I always do basicly.
Please try to refrain from any bashing my gecko has forgiven me thats all that matters to me :)
