    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....

Why so much for Lechies??

I see a lot of mix island lechies for the same price as pure locality lechies. I think 550 is way too high for mix island. Why is the price so high? I understand 300-500 for hatchlings but 550 plus for a hatchling mix island seems ridiculous.

Maybe the classifieds are not the best place for this topic. BUT It is probably due to how old leachies have to be before they can breed and how the "make pairs" as apposed to just pairing them up to mate. So finding compatible pair can be difficult. And they only lay a egg or two a year.....
 
Sounds good. By the way, this section is for ads, not rants. Thanks
That's a step forward towards respectable dialogue, congrats! Now let's see if we can differentiate between a question and a "rant". Sorry, I'm not a professional internet blogger, I'll go to the discussion area next time.

Thanks so much. I understand that totally, I have a pines island that was 550 and a mix that was 400. I see a lot of mix for 550 plus with no paperwork at all. I understand 400 but 550 with no paperwork seems a bit much for a hatchling.

Well "paperwork" on leachies is not a thing, first of all, and second, it completely depends on what the parents look like. Sometimes mixes are the most gorgeous animals and that plays a big part of it. If you want, pm me and I can send you some photos of absolutely mind blowing mixes.
 
I agree I got my mixed leachie (GT X NU ANNA) for 350 and then I see Nu Ami x Nu Anna for 550-600 and I see Moro X Nu Anna for 400

I agree seems like there needs to be more of a organization! Of a price rang a specially sence it's not like there isn't a verity and quantity anymore there are so many breeders everywhere now! And there all "leaching" of the base price you would to if you bred and sold them to tho it would be hard to get rid of one of these cuties!

Makes sence harder to breed and to make it worth it sounds like you need a few!

If there isn't paper work in the breeding of this lizard I believe the breeders who did would stand above the rest!

By paperwork I mean some kind of form from a reputable breeder or some kind of documentation of thier locality. I figured I wouldn't have to explain what should already be understood, especially from someone who knows about this gecko. Nevertheless, like I said before, I have ones I bought for 400 and others for 550 plus shipping. The one for 400 was mixed island from a first time breeder. The one for 550 was pine island lechie with both parents with import locality paperwork. A steak at Long Horn should not cost as much as one at Ruth Chris. Bottom line.

There are ALWAYS cheap leachies available. You need to look at the parents and decide what a baby is worth to you. No breeder is forcing you to buy their animals. As an example, the top photo is one of my island mix pairs. The bottom is of my pure pine island pair. Are you seriously suggesting that I should be selling babies from the mix pair for less? Because NO. That would make me an idiot.

Second, earlier you said "That's a step forward towards respectable dialogue, congrats! Now let's see if we can differentiate between a question and a "rant". Sorry, I'm not a professional internet blogger, I'll go to the discussion area next time". And yet you literally just said "The breeders are glad you did this [moved the thread to the discussion forum], because they want to protect thier investment. I purposely put this in the add section so BUYERS can see how they are being RAPED". So it sounds like you are both ranting and being manipulative. Make up your mind. Also, comparing a breeders asking price for a luxury item which is in no way necessary to a buyer to rape is a pretty shit move on your part. Do better.
