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.

Kalico Gecko / Jeremy Heikel - Bad Business ; Leopard Geckos
KALICO GECKO FACEBOOK - WEBSITE
Full album including conversation logs and photos
I paid $400 via paypal (and was required to include an extra 3% to cover the fee or pay via friends and family, thus risking losing my money) for a temperature sexed male Super Giant Super Raptor leopard gecko. I received a single outdated picture of the gecko in question and had to wait a month before Kalico shipped it. I was supposed to receive a 15+ gram leopard gecko, but wound up with a 5 gram hatchling so small I thought it may not be alive. I contacted the seller, who made several excuses before admitting the mistake and blaming it on someone else. He then asked that I ship the 5 gram baby back to him before he would refund me (at this point I wanted nothing to do with his business and chose not to have him "replace" the gecko I did receive), but I made it clear multiple times that I was not comfortable shipping such a small animal. My concern was that, on the highly likely chance that it arrived back to him deceased, he would refuse to refund and I would be out both a gecko and my $400.
After some facebook drama involving a public "Warning" post I made on a prominent gecko page (of which I was not involved, he began cursing and flinging insults at other members who were posting), he cut off our conversation and blocked me on all contact forms, leaving me with no choice but to go through paypal to resolve the issue. The dispute is on-going, and I am now stuck with an incredibly small 5g "one month old" gecko (hatched july 12th, according to the breeder) that I'm not even sure how to feed due to how small it is.

Very bad business on the part of Kalico Gecko / Jeremy Heikel .
Jeremy is this the first leo you have ever sold and shipped?
With the heat we have been having this summer shipping a tiny hatchling is a no no.
Then lying about the weight before hand makes you a bad guy. shame on you.
