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.

Leopard gecko shipping requirements?
I am soon going to order from ReptilesbyMack, and I was wanting to question some things.
First, what tempature do they call a delay on?
Will I receive the animal the next day, or does it ship the next day?
Do I need to ask for heating packs?
And a bonus question, should I consider an Enigma? I've heard it's cruel but I don't know the reason.

Most of those questions should be asked of the seller.
As far as the enigma question - I don't keep leopard geckos, but I believe that morph displays neurological issues (and I think I've seen that some have feeding problems... Not sure if that is related to the neuro stuff). I'm sure a Leo person could give more details.

There seems to be a neorological disordered associated with the enigma gene. In some cases the disorder barely presents itself. In others, it becomes so severe that the animal cannot eat and/or at times goes into hysterical fits of thrashing about. Breeders are working on getting the pros of enigmas without the cons, but many leopard geckos have suffered from the enigma syndrom in the process.

Enigmas have a wobble that is outwardly comparable to the wobble observed in spider ball pythons. In some individuals the wobble is hardly noticeable, in others it is so bad the animal can't eat on its own. The enigma disorder is exacerbated by stress and bright light.
Honestly, purchasing an enigma is up to you. I personally got out of them because it was impossible to tell when an animal was going to exhibit severe problems, and finding proper homes for enigmas that needed extra care was difficult. I ended up giving several enigmas away for free.
