    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Can you put a number on your leo collection?

How many leopard geckos do you have in your collection?

I can't recall seeing a thread like this, at least lately. Sorry If I doubled up. Anyways, I was just wondering how many leopard geckos everyone has in their collection. I figured you could post about it or at least take the poll.

Personally, I have 25ish. I'm anticipating a maximum capacity of 40ish by the years end, haha.

If you guys are interested, here's a link to some photos of our collection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/o0ryan0o/sets/

I'm really curious to see these numbers, haha.
 
I am down to 30 leos, I think. I will probably slim down to 5 groups of 1.3 later this year. I need room for my other stuff!
 
I curently have about 50 adult leos breeding. Another 12- 15 That I'm waiting to be big enough. Also about 35 hatchlings so far. 75 plus eggs cooking and more still coming.
 
I have about 21 adult Leos and about 20 Hatchlings (That doesn't include my Fat Tails and Cresteds)
 
31 leopards and 19 fat tails (had to check the excel sheet, lol)
All of mine are young'ns that I'm growing up so that I pick out the ones I want to keep for breeding.
(I think another good poll would be how many crickets and mealworms do you order every week :hehe: )
 
Those of you who say that you have too many to count, need to thin your collections down a bit. If you can't give an estimate within 25 geckos then it's time to send them to me. I'll count them and let you know exactly how many you used to have. LOL
 
I currently have 9 with a patternless female gravid and SCHT and a bell albino I payed for 2 days ago on the way, I'm also planning on aquiring a couple more rainwaters, a bliz group, a SHTCTB, a couple of tang females and a couple more bell females or possibly even a bell male, and a few normal/ high yellows to flush the bloodlines.
 
how many..

How many do I have??? Well thats easy.. NOT ENOUGH!!!. Now with that said, I am always looking for forum members selling geckos at good prices. so far I have gotten some from these members:
1) CHRIS (1.0 Junlgle albino poss. giant) (.1 htct)
2) WENDY ( 0.1 albino ) ( 0.2 normals)
3) XAVIER ( 0.1 albino) ( 1.0 SHTCT - turning out better then i ever expected!!! )

Once I move all my Boa breeders to the store I will have lots of room for more racks of leos, cresteds and others. Right now I still have room for 11 more in the first rack, and a second rack ready to go. I might even grab up those racks that (just cage ) is selling that he doesnt need anymore.
I have really got the leo bug and want to make them one of my main focuses for the future. I dont think the Leo craze will ever go away with all the different morphs and phases that keep coming out, not to mention they are so much fun to work with and get to know. I was even considering trading baby albino boas for some snows, but we will see. One thing is for sure...There is no other reptile out there that has a following and community like those of the leopard gecko community!!!
 
AH HA!!!! Kelli, Steve and Chris. You all must start relinquishing geckos to me now. Give us a rough estimate. Minus of course the ones that you must send to me for not knowing in the first place. LOL :rolleyes:
 
I've got 2....plus a 3rd on the way!! YIPEE! I'm willing to bet I'll be close to 10 by the end of the year.
 
I only have 8 at the moment; but I'm planning to "upgrade" my gecko room to accommodate more tanks (no racks, all vivariums). Hopefully the whole thing can be done by the end of this year, which means I can get more geckos next year. I'm soooo happy even just by thinking about it... :rofl:
 
I currently have 118 leos with about 50 of them breeders. I also have 28 eggs incubating. They’re just too addicting…

42 breeders, 68 hatchlings (hopefully more by now...I'm out of town!) and another 100 plus incubating. At what point does it cross over from a hobby to an obsession! lol
