Monster Geckos

Copied from: Rob Haneisen on Leachianus Network group.

FREE TIPS! OK, so here's something I thought would be helpful to share, especially for those of you a little new to leachianus: 5 Reasons to buy directly from the breeder:

1. You get the best, verifiable history on your new gecko. The breeder has known that gecko its entire life, likely watched it hatch, and probably raised the parents as well. You'll get accurate hatch dates and locality information. You'll know when its last meal was and what it eats.

2. You have confidence on how the gecko will look as an adult. How? Because a good breeder gives you pictures of the parents. Leachianus change so much in appearance from babies to adulthood so knowing what the parents look like will give you the best idea on how your new gecko will look and how big it may be as it matures.

3. You should get a caresheet from the breeder with knowledge earned from years of experience of raising leachianus but also communicating with other seasoned leachianus breeders and reading books.

4. You'll establish a relationship directly with the breeder, one that you can hopefully rely on if you run into challenges or have questions.

5. You reward the breeder for the hard work they have actually put into producing and raising up these amazing geckos that can live 20-30+ years. Keeping leachianus is relatively easy. Buying a whole box to re-sell is easy. Breeding them consistently is a challenge.

But what if you want to buy from a re-seller? Certainly one of the pros of this option is you may get a cheaper price. And maybe you can get an older gecko too. Here are 5 helpful questions you should ask in this case:

1. Who produced this gecko? Re-sellers should be able to tell you this. And any post should clearly state that the gecko was produced by someone else.

2. How long have you had this gecko in your possession?

3. How long has it been in quarantine and what is your quarantine process?

4. How has it been eating (frequency and food item)?

5. What is its current housing setup? Can you provide a picture of its current housing?

Cheers and best of luck!
