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.

My Petco Rescue
Hello,
Just wanted to share this story with you. I was in the horrible Petco, and I had to stop and look at the leos. Well I found two dead leos and one little guy barely hanging on. I was furious so I went and got a manager and yelled at him for 5 minutes even though hes stupid and doesnt understand. I bought the little leo to try and save him. (the jerks at petco charged me for him on top of it). I looked at him when I arrived at home, his shed was stuck everywhere, his skin wrinkly (dehydration) and had his eyes closed, he looked terrible. I hydrated him through a syringe for weeks and used repti aid. He started to eat on his own about a week after I got him and hes grown into a pig. Hes a very nice gecko morph for Petco, but most importantly Im happy I saved him. Heres a picture. DEATH TO PETCO

Did you happen to take a pic of him when you bought him? Just wondering so you can send a copy of it to their corporate head quarters so they can see for themselves that they 1 are selling helpless sick little ones and 2 that they ripped you off. I was told by corporate that they have an adotpion policy that if anything is in that condition they have to adopt them out. Depinds on the management but corporate states different? Glad to see he is doing great with you. Shanell.

The petco by me adopts out only the tailless geckos when the tank is "full" which is like 30 geckos i guess.

I would be surprised to see if they actually followed that corporate policy. The petco by me doesn't even sell reptiles. It's a dirty store, and I refuse to buy from them. Petsmart sells practically everything, and the ASPCA runs a cat adoption center out of it, so it is always kept clean and the animals are always in top shape. I like that Petsmart, except the leos are on sand
