    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....

I'm still alive!

Just thought I'd let y'all know I'm still around...lol Not a whole lot going on new with my leopard geckos...I have a few eggs incubating. The biggest thing that's happened with them is that my male 66% het from Jeremy's RRS line disappeared while I was in Mexico for spring break! :bawling: :bawling: I loved that gecko...he was amazing! I don't know where he went...but when I got home his cage was open about an inch and he was gone and I couldn't find him anywhere! The guy watching my animals also had some trouble with my mice which was mostly not his fault...my males chewed out of their cage, but then he put them in with my girls and 2 of my males ended up dead and 2 completely missing....one of which was one of my favorite mice and who hadn't been in the cage with the other males...so I have no idea how he could have disappeared unless the guy did something with him :( At any rate beyond that most of my girls are currently laying and doing well...can't wait to get some albino babies finally!
Beyond the geckos my biggest news is that I'M GOING TO VET SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!! YAAYYY!!!!!!! I'll be at Kansas State this fall :) Right now I'm looking for a place to live out there...my parents are going to buy me a trailer home...and I think I may have found one that will be absolutely perfect! Now i just have to make sure it will work and then make sure I can get it before anyone else does! I am horrified of vet school.....lol I have a friend who started there last year and has complained to me about it ALL YEAR.........and now I have to go do it.... :bolt01: ....lol Anyway...not too much else is going on here...just thought I'd let everyone know I was still around :)

WOW- bummer on what happened when you were away-I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your Leo and the problems with the mice
I hope that your Leo turns up

I wish you all of the luck in the world that things work out OK and that you don't have alot of those pesky distractions that can be such a pain and can get through it!!
Go For It!!

:rolleyes: I dont get it....

Sorry to hear that Stina...
 
I've never had a gecko gone for more than a couple hours (and as far as I can remember that only happened like twice...I found them right away. This guy disappeared over spring break when the guy who was watching my animals left his cage open.

on another note.....EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My roommate just found him in his room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is dehydrated and has lost a lot of weight...but he is definitely alive and kicking! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I hope you are thinking about changing your cages. My brother had a snake get out and it roamed the house for four months. When I asked where he was going to keep it after I found it he answered back in the same cage it escaped from. Just to humor him we put it back and watched quietly from across the room. Not even fifteen minutes later it was working his escape route again.
 
Just out of curiosity how did they get out? I would apreciate the info to keep from making any repeated future mistakes. :)
 
Marcia... :p

mostly leaving cages slightly open to where I thought they couldn't get out (generally to go get smt or smt like that)....and being wrong...lol Now I close the cages all the way if I'm leaving the area at all...
