    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Sticking?

Ok im thinking about getting a leopard gecko. I have decided between a beardie and a leopard gecko but am going towards the gecko because theyre cheaper and easier to take care of. But all the geckos ive had in the past stuck to the walls of the cage. Do leopards have this ability? and when you get them are they easy to handle after theyve adjusted a little?
Thanks,
Josh
 
No, the leopard geckos do not have the ability to stick to the wall. You actually come out cheaper for the Leo like you said and actually get to keep it longer than the beardie. The leo will live for 20+ years if taken care of properlly. And the beardie will live for 5-7 years. So you can take your chance with the leos
 
actually a beardie could live alot longer than 7 years...dont know where you heard they can't...
 
Yes a beardie can live longer than 7 years but i never said that once they hit 7 years they are gonna drop dead. Beardies normally live for 5-7 years on average. And leos can live for 20+ years.
 
Both

I have beardies and leopard geckos and I like them both equally. However, leopard geckos are by far much cheaper to feed and house. A pair of adult dragons can cost around $20 a month just to feed. I have bred several leopard geckos this year and have one leopard gecko left for sale if you're interested. It's a SHCT female. Go here: http://www.sunsetgecko.net/available.html for more info.
Hope this helps,

Actually there is a male leo that is in the Hartford Breeding Facility that is 27 years old. And in all books and zoos that i have been to am studied they live for 20+ years if taken proper care of. Females lifes are shorter than males. SO yes you are looking to get 20+ years from a gecko if you take correct care of it.
 
I have a female who is over ten. With proper care they can live longer then ten years, according to web info and books...
