Richard,
Has Alex supplied you or someone you know with geckos that have/had crypto? This scares the hell out of me.
I puchased a leopard gecko and a trio of viper geckos from him(through his website) in November. They are all doing very well, but I know that leos can have crypto for a while before they show any signs.
Would you please elaborate on your comment about "crypto-free" geckos.
Thank you very much.
James D. Gaukin
the thing il say is,
he send me about 8 geckos 3 died pretty fast ( read within 4 weeks ) another one died a bid later ( i kept that one alive longer due to forcefeeding..
i gave away the other 3 coz i didnt wanna take anny risks ( gave em away to non breeders )
i have not tested them so i can not say if it was crypto or not but it sure looked like it to me coz the penciltailed and just died. i even threated 2 of them with flagile and panacure ( doctors perscription in right doses as i have done all my geckos and no others have die from that perscription even on that size )
when i got the geckos they where 4- 6 grams !! imagine somewon sending geckos weighing 4-6 grams oversees to europe ( wich takes at least 3 to 4 days sitting in a box for those litle ones )
so it might verry wel have been stess but in my eyes i wil not ever buy from ppl that send baby's accros the world ...
then there is the following, alex hue tryed to tell me that geckos that are 2 to 3 months old can NEVER way 20 grams + ..... and that if i would vind anny breeder that hase geckos that weight that fast that he would buy them all , wel i have asked arround at multiple breeders and they all say 20 grams can be reached quite easely , ofc some geckos grow slowwer but never 4-6 gram weight when they are 3 months old ... i asked this from other breeders coz i thought that perhaps i was a free occurance since all my geckos ( give or take a few ) grow above the 20 grams range within 2 months.
so concluding
alex sends annimals far to small to europe ( annimal abuse )
alex annimals died within 4 weeks
alex says geckos never get 20 grams weight in 2 to 3 months
alex called me a layer
alex took my monney ( 750 Dollars )
alex intimidated me
alex cursed at me
alex ignores me
and so on ( i can think of a few more )
if you want good annimals that are realy healthy there are multiple breeders that have such annimals ofc you pay more then you would from a wholesale breeder but you get quality in return wich is worth the extra monney.
currently i have sitting 300 to 400 i think that we are one of the bigger breeders in europe. the geckos are all tested or bred myself from eg to adult we clean 2ce a week and we use bleach / amoniya / meddical alcohol to clean our hands every 4 tubs so that we never have to be avraid of a crypto pandamic , i do not buy annimals from other breeders exept the one i work together with hence i know for sure what i get. the annimals of alex i put in a diverent room but i can honnestly say i have not seen geckos die that fast ...ever... that is why i have cancelled my 2cond order with alex and why i wanted my monney back.. i didnt even ask for a refund of sayd lost annimals oh this is what he sayd after i cancelled the order >>>>>>>>>>>
