    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

got a question?

ask its mother.

Short of getting a hatch date from the breeder, buying it young (and keeping track), or getting a good history when you purchase an older one, it is largely guesswork. I'm sure some people are better at this than others, but I have looked closely at a 4 year old and an 11 year old and not seen significant differences.
 
If you can still see the original banding on it that has not yet broken up into the spots, or other pattern, you can guess it is around a year or less, but once it hits full size, you can't tell. If it is female you can see how many eggs she lays this year as compared to last year. If it is a larger amount, chances are she is younger and reaching towards her prime years, if the amount is declining, then she is getting older and egg production is decreasing. That is the only way I can think.
Mine seem to get fatter and lazier too....as they age.
 
LOL, thank goodness no one answered with "Count the rings in their tail." Someone actually told me that the pet store they bought their gecko from told her that they tell how old all of their leopard geckos are that way.... :rolleyes:
