    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....

Hi,
Prices vary some have prices much cheaper than others, buying from a well known ruptable breeder typically cost more and ofcourse the amount of orange and spotts on the tang will reflect the price as well. As fas as growth goes that all depends of hows its kept, fed and its bloodline, I have a female that only 5.5 months old yet she is already 72 grams well over the recommanded amount of 55 grams yet she is way too young IMO (and many would agree I'm sure) to breed. I personally like to wait till they are 10-12 months old even if they have already surpassed 55 grams and if they haven't I'd wait longer.

PM if your interested in Tangs I have some nice females in the 30-40 gram range which range from 3-4 months old.

I'm curious. Can you tell me why you would sell your geckos to anyone that admitts to the following?

A) Not having much money.

B) Looking for the cheapest outlet to purchase.

C) Wants to breed at 55 grams.

Again I'm just curious. Personally I would have recommended a good book -or- a page link to proper care, setup, equipment, and breeding...before making any kind of solicitation.

What's wrong with 55 grams? Especially for a male. Sure the bigger the better, but some of those people on KS talk about 35-40 grams...

Personally I think anything over 50 is ok as long as they're watched carefully and given all the extra calcium and nutrients they need... but maybe that's just me.
