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.

ED Clark (BAD GUY!!)
so in may of 2008 i had seen a ad in the kingsnake classifieds for two red harly crestd geckos for sale. i had emailed Ed to see if they were available. A few emails and phone calls later i had found out what i thought was enough information to trust this guyand had sey up a payment plan. when i recieved my package in the mail i was deeply dissappointed that the female was not the same as he advertised and that she had protruding hip bones. Both geckos were lacking calcium sacs. i had emailed Ed clark numerous time and had called him but had no reply. i had my boyfriend call him and when Ed Clark relized who it was he told me that he would send me a red juvie crested gecko. ever since that phone call i haven't been able to reach him. my question is where are you?? and i want a refund!

I'm not a big Ed Clark fan myself, but they look to be the same animals to me. They also look to be pretty healthy animals as well.
Also, your picture were taken on 7/8/2008. They would mean they spent at a month or so in your care at the time of those photos. Do you have photos of them the way they looked when you received them in May? How is anyone to know that they could have lost the weight you claim they have while in your care for the last month or so?
I'm the first guy that would love to see Eddie get his ass handed to him, but with the info so far provided..it looks like the only thing he is guilty of is offering you another gecko and his failure to communicate when you can expect it.

This comes as no surprise. Ed has a history of bad deals, misrepresenting animals and not following through on his promises.

Both geckos appear to be the same geckos in Ed's original photos. When did you receive them?

The appearance of crested geckos is much more intense when they are 'fired up." Looks to me like they are fired up in Ed's photo and normal in the others.

Fired up as in the late evening hours? I'm no crested expert so that why I ask.
Anna's photos, according to the exif data, were taken during the daytime/afternoon.
Does that likely explain the difference we are seeing between the photos as far as coloration and/or defining patterns/markings?
