    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....

What is wrong with this gecko?

Rescued this guy from a chick off craigslist. She thought it was a female.... He's a little over a year old. He has been housed in a 12x12x12 all SCREEN enclosure with another male. She had a water bowl, two branches, and two fake hanging plants. No substrate. No paper towels and didn't realize they needed humidity. Is dehydration the factor? Another thought was a chahou? Hybrid. His skin is very loose, bottom lip looks swollen slightly, has old man neck and a flat head. I've found both of them sleeping on the floor off their enclosure.

Truthfully, she looks pudgy, but I don't see anything else wrong. Just a bunch of fat folds.
 
Looks like he might have been living on baby food. Because I'm a neurotic crestie person, I immediately see the lower jaw. Ironically, this could have been what saved him from dehydration, since baby food is mostly water. I'd get him on CGD and a humid enclosure, and he should do fine.

Thanks. He was fed baby food all his life. The girl said thats what the pet store told her. He is now in a aquarium twice the size and I've been hand feeding him cgd. He's already starting to look better
 
As suggested I would start getting him a little CGD and maybe a handful of insects as well just to give him a bit of variety, considering he's only been fed baby food untill now. I doubt he is a Chewie hybrid though, most likely just looks a bit different due to the poor diet and (i'm assuming) no vitamin supplementation his whole life.
