    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....

Help! I think my gecko's dying

My gecko shed last week and still has some of the skin on its head, I didn't think much of it, I thought it would eventually fall off but it's still there and now he won't open his eyes. Do you think his eyes are infected from the skin? I took a warm cloth and put it lightly on his head and got most of the skin off his head.His eyes will open but then he closes them, one opens alot wider than the other one-and that one seems to be cloudy and his pupils are smaller than usual--he seems active enough, I'm just worried about his eyes--please I could use some feed back!!!
 
Hmm, I assume its a leopard gecko? Perhaps a vitamin deficiency has caused the eye problems? Have any loose feeder insects had an opportunity to attack him? What kind of setup do you house him in?
 
Don't go crazy...

One thing to remember when caring for any reptile is to reduce the stress. Don't get crazy trying to save it by giving it too much attention... it could cause the reverse.
If you could post a picture it would be easier for anyone to provide assistance. If you are unable to post one or email one the take it to your local reptile shop (leave it in the car till you get approval to bring it in) ask someone knowledgable what they think.
