    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....

Newbie?

If you were completely new to Leopard Geckos and wanted to buy 1.2 Leos, and all you wanted to spend was $250-$300, what would you get? Or better yet, what 1.2 could/should you get at that price range?
 
I would look online and at any publications that I could get my hands on to see what is out there and see what appeals to me personally. Many people, myself included think that Bold jungles, for example are as desirable as just about any others but are priced within your range. There are several other morphs available now that were much more expensive just a few years ago, also near or within your range that offer endless possibilities.

I've been reading up for the past 2-3 weeks, but have found a lot of information that varies from person to person or thread to thread, same goes for prices from $50-$150ea. I'm all set on the basic care requirements and set up, just wondering what trio is in the price range I have set for starters? We like the Hybinos and the Blizzards, but I'm wondering what else is out there within the budget I have set. I've been looking on KS and classifieds for 2-3 weeks and notice the same Leos week after week. I think my best bet on selection will be Daytona.
 
For me personally, I would get RAPTORS but that would be more then $300, one is usaully that I believe lol. I would just reccomend looking around, and finding what you really like and want, even if its a little more then you would like to spend, your better off spending a little more to get what you really want..

You're correct about picking them up at Daytona, you'll also save on shipping. You might be able to find 1.2 Hybinos in your price range. You'll definitely find Blizzards in your range though.
