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 haven't read that huge block of text, as I have a headache and reading a wall of words right now is not possible.
As far as the picture of the gecko, I have seen a very drab crestie fire up and look awesome. It is possible she has never fired up for you and was fired up when they took that picture. I couldn't say for sure that is the case though.

Also, to my untrained eye, those do not look like the same gecko. The side patterns are different.
You also got a full credit for that gecko, so you have a nice free female.

I'm 99% sure they're the same gecko, but you are correct I did get full credit for that gecko.

OK, so it sounds like things went wrong with the transaction and the company looks like it tried to help.
So exactly what is it that you said on the videos that they are upset about, did you accurately describe the mishaps and how you were unhappy?

What I typed up is pretty much what I said in my first video. In my opinion I described it accurately and fairly and I think most people who watched the videos would agree. Just look at the comments. Both here and in my video. However they can play off what happened to me as an honest mistake and mistakes do happen. But after I showed what happened to two other people around the same time it becomes hard to prove that they're all just mistakes.

Well, I am 99% sure they are different geckos.
Aside from the dorsal patterns being different, the eye colors are different.

It cost me $440 to find out first hand
Urban Gecko does photo tricks to sell animals.
Either photoshop or filtered lens or some other trick.
There was going to be no negotiation
about the "product" animal from Urban Gecko...
if they get your money
they are going to keep your money.

I would agree in my experience. Here's a picture just look at the back lines especially the weird V. Shes also fired down here.

I'm not familiar with geckos, not sure how similar their markings can be to each other, but I know that photos can be edited. Those images of geckos have the same light stripes along the dorsal ridges, same horizontal dorsal stripes, same tail pattern, same dark line across the head, same stripes on the legs, and same light dots on the side. The only difference I can see is obviously the colors and the side pattern. I think if you were darkening the picture/changing the colors, you could muddle some of the side pattern.
I also really don't like the policy of shipping a different male because the first one escaped on them. If I was their customer, I would expect to be contacted and given the option of a refund (NOT a store credit) or a different animal of my choice if they couldn't provide the first animal I had chosen. When I agree to buy a specific animal, I expect to receive that specific animal. Not a similar one that someone else chose for me.
