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.

It's a healed fracture too. Any idea as to when the fracture occurred?

Good question... or HOW it happened?

Shipping can't really be used as an excuse in this case, so there's one thing off the list.

Aside from your question, I think it eliminates a previous suggestion in this thread that the gecko may have been dropped while in the care of her new owner and rather obvious that it occurred at some point in Brandons care.
Marcia, I think its wonderful how you're taking such great care of those animals.

Would it be a safe speculation to say that the injury is consistent with its lower body being pinched between a tub and a rack?

Since I have never seen this occur in my nearly 13 years as a gecko breeder, I can only guess. Perhaps something heavy dropped on her? She got stepped on? I just don't have the answer for this case. She is such a pretty, sweet little gecko girl, and seems to have compensated for her injury and is thriving well. She is a little trooper, for sure. Someone will be delighted to have her as their pet... I'm already smitten with her!

Kudos to you Marcia for taking her on-I know that she is in the best of hands
Having received a Leo with a deformed front leg this past year-I can sympathize with Brittney
From the condition that you are both describing this gecko in-i know that I would have freaked out when I received her
I hope that the little girl has a speedy recovery and is well soon
The special ones do make their way into your heart quickly-I know-I also have an almost totally blind Leo too
I love my "Pet Leos"
Sandy

I used to use some really low tubs in a tight rack and I was always afraid that one of my leos was going to dash up at the last second when I slid/shoved the tub back into place resulting in a squish/crunch gecko. Sort of why I thought of that scenario, but I guess so many things aside from that could have caused the injury. Poor thing....however it happened...had to have hurt like hell.

Wait a iminute. Brandon, is that female the same Mack Snow Het Bell you got from Pat as a juvenile that you picked up from him in person, and then later on called him frantic because the gecko couldn't walk right? Then, Pat took it to the vet clinic where he worked and did some tests and/or an X-ray and it was found that the gecko had a broken pelvis? Is this female the same gecko as that??? Pat, any comments?

By the way, I know about the situation described above because Pat called me and told me about it right after it happened.

Kelli, do you mean to tell us that this little gecko, the Mack Snow het Bell that Brandon sold and shipped to Brittney, had a broken pelvis and Pat and Brandon knew it all along? Hmmm...
