    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....

That's a nice looking crestie. Good luck with her. I'm just curious as to why the seller hasn't said more? I'd sure as hell would be defending myself.
 
that gecko really is beautiful. and she seems to be thriving in your care, which is why her weight is up. I hope she gets to a good size by the time her next eggs are laid. I think its pretty clear by now that the seller is not coming to defend herself because she went off on this self righteous tirade about herself and it has come to light that she indeed did screw up. Which is human! Its ok to screw up, but admit there might have been a mistake and fix it, make it right.
 
I totally agree. Mistakes happen, but it's how you handle those mistakes that speaks of who you really are & show youe true character. Ashley- I'm glad that Rye is in your care now & I'm confident that you will give her (and potential offspring) a happy, healthy home. Kudo to you for speaking up & for taking such good care of her.
 
Thanks Guys & Gals :) Those Posts brightened my Day.
I Bought her The fruit mix off pangea to mix in a little with her regular CGD and she Licked the bowl clean lastnight so i have no doubt she will be over 40g by next clutch.
which i am Overly Happy about.
I'm also Super Curious what her offspring will look like, now its the waiting game :)
I've already bought about 6 kritter keeper sized Tubs which are already modified with screen, Ventilation holes and Bamboo. and i Invested in a rack for all the hatchlings.

Again, Thank you for your Nice posts. I'm sure i'll post pictures of the hatchlings here monthhhs from now :)
 
All this talk about underweight and not heavy enough to breed . It is a best practice that's all. They can and do breed at much smaller sizes and live productive lives. The concern is about breeding at a slightly lower weight than someone in the past made up.

There are no ID checks in the wild. :D

It is a best practice based on opinion. It is not a death sentence.

i understand what you're saying, But my Gecko is Not in the wild. The Possibility of becoming eggbound is there. I'd much rather have a Healthy weight for my Animals, every single one of them. And when it comes to Rye I'd rather have her at the Right weight then Constantly worry about Losing her from being eggbound.

But we're all entitled to Opinion. :yesnod:

That IMO makes you a great keeper.
 
Did anyone do a positive identification on the gecko pictures, are they the same? Hard for me to tell, the first picture is nice and clear, but the second one has so much glare that it's difficult for me to match up patterns.

Thanks!

I snapped the one with glare with my Cell to Send My Friend, Apologies.

I am not aware of the procedure for identifying geckos, most pictures would have at least two identifying points if not more.

If others, who are more knowledgeable about identifying points, are satisfied that it's the same animal, then the picture is acceptable.

Just a question that I had after looking at the pictures.:)
 
If you look through the past 60ish Posts, There are other pictures of her, Both Fired and unfired. When i weighed her she was Unfired which is why she is Lighter than when i took the picture of her in my hand about a week before.
 
I am satisfied that it is the same gecko. The colors and spots match up.

With the seller being as silent as she is, I can only infer that to mean she made a mistake (which happens to the best of us) and doesn't want to admit it.

Thank you, nothing else to say. I agree with your surmise.:)

Sad, really. The seller would not have hurt herself/business by coming in early in the discussion and apologizing and offering to make amends.:shrug01:
 
She offered 85$ Toward another gecko, I spent 135$
(Which i didn't want to exchange regardless)
She is My Pet, Not A Toy to exchange if its 'Defective'.
I just wanted answers, that I didn't get.
I'm happy with Rye, and she's getting up there gram wise :) So I'm becoming content.

So am I understanding correctly that the seller did come back and offer a nice credit towards another gecko?

If so- then all's well that ends well. :yesnod:

And Rye is looking good to me, hopefully she won't drop too much by the time she's done laying for the season. :thumbsup:

Actually In her only Email 4 Days After i got her on June 12th - Is when she offered 85$ Toward another gecko and Basically Told me I needed to Bring My Gecko Back to her at the August show and that i wasn't qualified to care for her and was lying about her being gravid. Ha.

After the one, and only Email I received, there Has been no contact since.
But i figured i'd update How Rye is Doing; Which is a lot better. :)

Her next clutch is Due around roughly a week and a half By Guesstimation.
