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.

How many do this full-time?
I got to wondering just how many of us floating around here are lucky enough to work with geckos as their full-time job.
Myself, I'm moving over the next 6 months from hobby/pet keeper to (hopefully) part-time breeder.

I have another full time job...gotta pay the bills & the benefits are nice (summers off!). But luckily, because of the subjects I teach (biology/env. science) I get to take my "hobby" to work.

Well, thats hard to answer for me, I am a stay home mom so that is my full time commitment, the leos are a passion and hobby, I don't consider them a job or a source of income at all.
Although its nice to break even on feeders or make a few $$ here and there to buy from others but I personally don't consider it a job but a privilege to be able to have the time to work with the leos while I stay home with my children.

I am a Chef by day Gecko Breeder by night. Right now its more of a hobby than a business. It's more to blow off steam and the stresses of work. But I am planing to get more leos so who knows whats in store for next year.

I'm a (soon to be) frame shop manager, part-time painter, and leo keeper.
LOL...I hope to get to a point that I can breed leos and paint, and do nothing else.

Right now all I do is play with geckos and post on fauna all day. That’s because I have the summer off. When the fall/spring semesters are in session I’m also a full time college student. Needless to say I get very busy during that time…
