Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

sterilization? of a gecko, not cage.....
The whole ethics discussion here has got me wondering. I have a few gex that *most* would agree are not breed-worthy. I was wondering if it would be POSSIBLE, read: not discussing the ethics, just feasability, to have my male non-breeder sterilized so I could house him w/a girl and not worry. Or even sterilize the female so she doesn't lay any duds and lose nutrients for nothing. (Won't get into the evolutionary benefits of this practice)

I know that it is possible to spay/neuter leos...although I don't know if it would be worth the risks. Most reptiles don't really handle anesthesia well and it could be very difficult to do such a small but major surgery (at least on a female). However if it could be done safely I think it would be a good way to ensure that unwanted genetics are not proliferated (although probably too expensive to be justified for most).

I agree. Even if possible it's got to be cheaper to house them individually. While I think it's a great idea, I don't see people spending the money to do it.

Ditto!
Contrary to what many might think, Leopard Geckos do just fine housed singley. Yes, leos can be surgically altered in order not to reproduce, but like what was already said, the risks and costs are astronomical.
