    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

URGENT! please help! :(:(:(:(: PLEASE!?

Tyler, Im so sorry to hear about the little one.  Its a difficult thing to decide when it comes to having to let go or push on.  You need to take in account a lot of things when deciding what to do with this very unfourtunate problem.  It is possible for Leopard geckos to live blind.  If the gecko wont eat on its own it will need to be force fed or hand fed possibly its entire life, thats a possible 25 or so lifespan and quite a commitment.  If it deems nessacary to have to put the animal down see a Vet for the most humane way possible so the little one can have a moment of peace before departure.  I can't make the decision of what to do for you, but I can say I have been in your shoes and had to make that very same decision.  Just think of the animals welfare, and think with your heart and you'll figure it out.  Again sorry for your troubles.......Michael
 
You may also want to take into account that maybe something else is wrong.  What I mean is that the obvious blind defect is a genteic birth defect.  It is highly possible that an internal genetic defect may be present that you are not aware of.  Thus causing him to be wasting away and not eating.  It could be some sort of malabsorption disorder or chemical imbalance in his system.  The unfortunate possibilities are endless.  You have a tough choice to make and I dont envy you at all.  I had to make a very similar choice with a few snakes and ultimately had them put down.

Good luck.
