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.

Sticking?
Ok im thinking about getting a leopard gecko. I have decided between a beardie and a leopard gecko but am going towards the gecko because theyre cheaper and easier to take care of. But all the geckos ive had in the past stuck to the walls of the cage. Do leopards have this ability? and when you get them are they easy to handle after theyve adjusted a little?
Thanks,
Josh

No, the leopard geckos do not have the ability to stick to the wall. You actually come out cheaper for the Leo like you said and actually get to keep it longer than the beardie. The leo will live for 20+ years if taken care of properlly. And the beardie will live for 5-7 years. So you can take your chance with the leos

Yes a beardie can live longer than 7 years but i never said that once they hit 7 years they are gonna drop dead. Beardies normally live for 5-7 years on average. And leos can live for 20+ years.

Both
I have beardies and leopard geckos and I like them both equally. However, leopard geckos are by far much cheaper to feed and house. A pair of adult dragons can cost around $20 a month just to feed. I have bred several leopard geckos this year and have one leopard gecko left for sale if you're interested. It's a SHCT female. Go here: http://www.sunsetgecko.net/available.html for more info.
Hope this helps,
-Eric

Actually there is a male leo that is in the Hartford Breeding Facility that is 27 years old. And in all books and zoos that i have been to am studied they live for 20+ years if taken proper care of. Females lifes are shorter than males. SO yes you are looking to get 20+ years from a gecko if you take correct care of it.
