    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....

The whole ethics discussion here has got me wondering. I have a few gex that *most* would agree are not breed-worthy. I was wondering if it would be POSSIBLE, read: not discussing the ethics, just feasability, to have my male non-breeder sterilized so I could house him w/a girl and not worry. Or even sterilize the female so she doesn't lay any duds and lose nutrients for nothing. (Won't get into the evolutionary benefits of this practice)
 
I know that it is possible to spay/neuter leos...although I don't know if it would be worth the risks. Most reptiles don't really handle anesthesia well and it could be very difficult to do such a small but major surgery (at least on a female). However if it could be done safely I think it would be a good way to ensure that unwanted genetics are not proliferated (although probably too expensive to be justified for most).
 
How bout ya just spend a whole lot less money and buy a separate set up.....LOL..... That would be lot easier on the pocket and on the leos.....
 
I agree. Even if possible it's got to be cheaper to house them individually. While I think it's a great idea, I don't see people spending the money to do it.
 
Ditto!

Contrary to what many might think, Leopard Geckos do just fine housed singley. Yes, leos can be surgically altered in order not to reproduce, but like what was already said, the risks and costs are astronomical.
