    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....

Leo with bad eyes, please lend some advice?

I recently rescued a Leopard Gecko with 2 bad eyes..I have eye drops to treat her eyes, and she'll open them up for a short period of time after I treat them, but then they'll close again until the next treatment. Only real problem is that I'm worried about how much she's eating or really not eating...
I'm trying to get her pumped back up with calcium, and I'm gutloading crickets, I'm not dusting them because I handle them so much before she finally finds them, that most the dust is gone by the time she gets it. I am injecting them with a small amount for coral calcium however.
She's only eating 2 crickets a day right now, which has me a bit worried. Does anyone have ANY suggestions on how I can get her more interested in her food? Her eyes are so badly infected that she can't see what she's eating. I tear all the legs off the crickets so she can get them, but she then has a hard time finding them since they can't really move and she can't really sense them. I've been using tweezers to rub on the cage near the crickets to try and help her find them, but she's still having trouble..
This poor Leo has lost all but one of her finger tips, and now has this horrible infection in both her eyes, but she's still as sweet as can be.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, and your help!
