    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....

Bad Guy Gorgeous Geckos selling sick animals

I'm on board with everyone else. The only proof Ryan posted makes him look like the bad guy, not the seller. Interesting that Ryan has seemed to be responding minimally in this thread as well. We are all waiting for a response...
 
When did you receive the sick animals? I recall seeing several posts on FB a little while ago of people losing animals from Kim. I'm curious if yours falls within that time frame, as she has since mentioned the problem was taken care of.

Gorgeous Gecko (Kim) has replied with what appears to be two very reasonable solutions. A third option, IMHO, could be a partial refund, (and/or, possibly, paying the vet bill if geckos were seen by a vet), if pinworms are proven and the OP (Ryan) wishes to keep the geckos.
A refund is certainly due, at the least end, for the one gecko that passed away (with proof of its being deceased).

Of course, my opinion (or a portion of my opinion) could change depending upon whatever proof, communications, etc., that Ryan posts.... if those things offer something up that would cause me to change any part of my opinion.

After reading the communications, posted by Ryan (in the drop box), my opinion (above quote) has, still, not been changed.
In fact, that info has further made me side with Kim and has made Ryan appear to be greedy by wanting a full refund (repeatedly asked for &/or demanded) based on his word alone and no proof (other than one deceased gecko).

Ryan: Kim's offers, in this thread, goes above & beyond.
I would suggest that you take her up on one of her two offers.
Otherwise, without any further info or photos, you should, probably, just drop the whole thing, treat the geckos on your own (if they do, indeed, have a heavy parasite load - since no proof was posted), and just enjoy keeping/having the geckos.

when I get them finally home one dies the next day. I chalked it up to stress from the journey since they were very small. I contacted the person that I dealt with from the company and was told I would be refunded for the dead animal. This raised a red flag so I kept a close watch on them and come to find out I see pinworms in there sterile container.

BTW Other than your not explaining why it took a two day shipping, the above portion, in bold, has also been "bothering" me.
Why would an offer, of a refund/replacement for the deceased gecko (that passed away very shortly after you finally(??) got the geckos home), raise red flags?
After all, even though not every breeder will do it, there are many breeders who will offer a refund/replacement under such a scenario (of an animal arriving deceased or passing away within days of receipt). In Kim's case, this offer may have also been further driven by a feeling that she felt it possible that she may have had some responsibility due to the shipping error. So, again, it makes me wonder about just why you would state that it raised a red flag.
