    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....

Vincent Russello, attempting a scam

I didnt know the effect of the light untill i just took new photos. again my leo has not even a hint of yellow of his RED body. the effect isnt red at all but more of a yellow hue. the extention cord is actualy green. and that was the place i took my photos becuse it is the same room i keep all my leos in. and i do admit that light bulb may have disorted the color of the leo. but you where jumping down my throat with claims of photoshop. sorry i disproved that.
 
And Vince... you never addressed why you chose to use a photo which took a three tone leo and obliterated one (less desireable from a sales standpoint) color.

if you went threw the whole "thread" you would of noticed i took immediate action to correct the paypal mistake. As well as stating that the 4 was a typo. do you read threads before you post or do you just read the first and last page.

Whatever but you still have not answered why people should focus on the thread with the dead boa & heat packs when this topic has nothing to do with this thread.
Are you in other words trying to say you don't like people putting the heat on you for something wrong you did?

sorry pic didnt go threw first time.

by the way this leo has blue eyes, as pattern under his jaw line is this common? the dots and red color bleed into the white underside of the leo.
 
Vince, the problem is that the pictures you are posting do not represent the animal... they look like different animals. I made a collage of three of the pictures you posted. I did nothing other than make the collage, no editing of colors, nothing like that. The problem is that the photos don't appear to be the same. If you are going to sell an animal as a specific color, then by golly make sure you have a photo that truly and without a doubt emphasizes the color of the animal without any falseness. Make sure the photo represents the animal. Borrow a camera. Or explain in DETAIL what the photo isn't showing and use the BEST representation of the animal.

NOT KNOWING the RULES is NOT a VALID reason for breaking them.

lighting is a huge factor in all three of those photos. one was under a light bulb, one was with flash, and one was out doors. i strongly belive even a novice could tell all three where the same gecko. the first photo has been removed a long time ago due to all the controversies. i like that photo you posted tho. i stand behind this leo as 1 of a kind 110%. if someone has a leo that looks like this please post it. or email me as i would like to buy it if it is female
 
Vince, the problem that people have had with the initial pic is that it does not show the true color or a clear picture of the specimen. I don't think that anyone would have a problem with it if you had advertised it as a unusual reddish normal leopard gecko. However, when you are representing a specimen as a "rare, one of a kind or high end" animal the picture is your best selling point........ and your best defense if the person who purchases it does not agree that the animal in the pic was the animal sent.....I hope you see the point there, nothing personal. Get some more practice with that camera....outside and experiment with natural lighting to get the best shot. It will help, trust me!! LOL's!! By the way this is a pic from my camera that's a 1.2 pixel.......see attached. Good luck getting a "better" pic of that specimen.

wow almost as red as my leo
(lol i know someone will get mad at that)
I firmly belive that this leo is a rare high end leo. i never seen one like it!!! and i was just kidding the leo isnt as red as that boa

I'm not try to bash your rep. But i'm telling you if you don't get that first picture off of there you could get in trouble. If someone buys that (beautiful) guy and gets pissed beacuse it's not all red like it shows in the first picture. Then he makes a big stink and you could face legal problems. They could use that picture against you proving the fraud part of it.
I don't know who you are, but from what i see you could be getting into big trouble with that picture. And if your not trying to scam anyone then take the picture off and save yourself the headaces.

for some reason i cant help but reply to all these posts. the photo has been removed hours ago. i still feel it 100% represents this leo, and that every new pic i took does not do it justice. tommorow im going to play around with the light outdoors and see what i can do.
