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.

I need to add this here so more people are aware of James before buying geckos from him. I'm attaching two screenshots plus two pictures from his website. These are the exact same gecko with two different names and prices. They weren't listed at the same time. The morph was changed to something that could get more money. This is beyond shady and I hope people see this and realize how important it is to research sellers before you buy from them. You can match up the head markings on the geckos in both sets of pictures. I'm sure I'll get attacked from James for this, but it needs to be out there for people to see. I do my best to look out for others that are in the same hobby as me.

Here is another thing for people to watch out for. It is not advised to mix eclipse (raptor) with marble eye. They are not compatible and you can't visually tell them apart. So by doing that, it's unethical and he's selling something as visual for both that he absolutely can't know.

Eclipse and Marble Eye are two completely separate recessive genes and should never be crossed; even the hets and poss hets. In fact, extra precautions need to be taken to make sure the 2 genes are not crossed. I specifically and thoroughly test breed geckos against eclipse before ever introducing the Marble Eye gene to them. It is considered the same as crossing the albino strains and it should never knowingly be done.

I wish we knew who had that one on hold. The ads are clearly the same gecko but the birthday's are different, I wonder if either is the actual day or if he even keeps track of that info. It has to be confusing keeping track when your posting different info about the same critter on different sites! Like with compulsive liars, after a while it's hard even for them to tell what is the truth and what is a lie. Thanks for the warning kristi. He was already on my list of people to avoid but hopefully people will search here before buying and see how shady he is.

Wow, the one with the marble eye mix was selling for $1899? Am I reading that right?
Caveat emptor I guess....

I did a double take too! I feel bad for whoever bought it! Given the fact that the gecko basically has unknown genetics they paid almost $2 for a pet gecko. Imo breeding that gecko would be unethical.
