Yeah umma do all that but the breeder because there isn't one near here

Shipping is safe quick and easy when done properly.

Make sure they do something like this. Granted a beardie would more likely be in a cup, my little corn came in a cup. :D

My little Apple was shipped as well, it cost extra but buying from a breeder is generall a hell of a lot cheaper! xD Apple cost be $85 directly from a breeder where at the petshop they were $190! They have to make sure the weather is okay before they ship, if it's too cold or too hot they wont do it.

Yea I wanted to get a leo from a breeder but I caught my parents in a good mood so I had to get him quick! xD So I went to the pet store with my friend and bought him.

My geckos still have skin stuck to their faces and I really don't know what to do. e_e
I've been misting the tank, misting their little humid hide thingie. I don't know what else to do for them..and it's never been stuck this long before.

Would it hurt them to pull/rub the skin off? It just bothers be because it keeps them from opening their eyes. :c

[Crum]

Well, usually the skin is already off its just like tight or something? I peel it off of dustin and he seems fine so I would just try. I have seen lots of people do it and say its ok.
Its like picking a scab xD doesnt hurt all that bad...

I would suggest getting a pair of tweezers and gently removing the skin. :] I had to manually assist apple remove some of the shed from her toes because it can cut off circulation if left on and she can lose toes. If you think the unshed skin is affecting them negatively in any way then I'd suggest removing it.

Okay, thanks, Clowesia. c:
I'll try that, I wasn't sure if it was a good thing to do or not..I was always afraid it was hurting them because they would make this sad squeaking noise. I'll just have to see what happens. :B

Edit:
I got most of it off their eyes, it made me feel better. They squirmed an awful lot and squeaked but I think they're okay. :3

I took a video of my one gecko drinking. Machu is so cute. XD

[Crum]

Ohh I love it when they drink <3
Dustin was licking his bedding the other day... I think it had some of his vitamins left on it or something xD

[Clowesia]

@Kiley, the sounds were probably that of distress and not hurt x3 Though I'm certainly far from an expert of herp behavior. xD

And maaaaan, there is a cute baby eopard gecko for sale, i want iiiit ;A ;

I'd probably need to use a ton of waxworms to have much of an effect on anole though. He's almost 20". ;o
