Wow, thanks for that info :D That does help a lot, and I'll look at that site as well :) The one thing is, I don't believe our pet stores have leopard geckos. I was disappointed not to see any. There was one gecko however, I believe he was a Mediterranean (spelling?) Gecko. I think anyway. He looked a lot like that picture wolfchan posted, only he was gray and his head looked a little different. I wonder if most geckos are similar in what you described the leo to be like??
Well Leo's are unique in the liking to be handled aspect. Tokay Geckos are quite the opposite. They are NOT something that you could handle. I used to own one, and it was absolutely vicious.
I wouldn't ever get a reptile from a pet shop anyway - they don't tend to treat them very well. And I have seen some that are in really rough shape.
I'd go to a private breeder online... lllreptile.com has some good geckos, and there are many other reputable breeders. www.leopardgecko.com is one.
I myself am breeding my 4 females with my normal male. So far the eggs seem to be doing well but they're not due to hatch until late June.
Oh, ok. I just kinda live far away from pretty much everything so do they send them do you or something? Isn't that hard on them though?
I had all of mine shipped express overnight to my door. It shouldn't be TOO hard on them if they're packaged properly, and naturally I wait until the weather gets warmer.
Most reputable breeders won't ship them if it's too cold.
Oh, I see. I should look for somewhere in Canada then
Yeah ... The closer the better. But I had mine shipped all the way from California to Connecticut and they were fine.
I just e-mailed the site that you listed, they said they don't ship to Canada anyway :( Do you know of any that might? Or how I can find out?
Connecticut is close to New York right? (sorry, I'm horrible with geography :rolleyes:) I'm right on the other side of Maine pretty much. Do you know of anywhere close to you maybe? I don't think it's that far from me hehe (sorry for being so hopeless haha) I was thinking of asking the pet stores if they know anywhere
Well I found one LG breeder in Canada...
http://www.hqreptiles.com/
I don't know how reputable they are... so I can't make any call on that.
Google.com brought them up when I entered the keywords Leopard Gecko Canada
We have a rough green tree snake. He eats only insects, that's the reason I got him. I could NOT handle feeding mice to a snake, no way.
He is VERY easy to care for. Drop some crickets in a few times a week, and spray his plants with water a couple times per day. That's it.
He is very nice, but very fast. We hold him a lot, but you have to be careful not to ever let him loose.
He is beautiful, and sweet. We have had him for years, and he is very healthy. I had to special order him from the pet store, but even then he was less than $20.
Thanks Twister :D Those sound really great too! But I kinda have my heart set on a leo now! lol If I can find one that is hehe. I think I'll look into the tree snake too though :D
Oh! I had a rough green snake as my first reptile! They're fun! His name was Fluffy.... ^_^
