Re: Looking for Lep's Please Read.

I just reread every post in this thread and no one attacked you at all. There were some very valid points made though from the posts.

When you first posted this thread, I read it but didn't have any leopard geckos looking for homes so I didn't respond. I also thought your initial post was great.

After reading it again when you posted you had gotten some, and now are going to breed them, that paints a completely different picture.

As I stated in my response, this gives the impression that you are looking to acquire leopard geckos as breeding stock. It doesn't state that you ARE doing that, it states that this is the impression from what you have written. It is certainly the impression I got after having read how quickly you had determined you were going to breed the ones you just got.

Try reading this thread from a viewers point and not from your point, as the poster and see how it appears to you.

Re: Looking for Lep's Please Read.

I was quick to jump the gun on this. I'm really not looking for any profit out of this, I have 3 people that asked me to breed them never once did I ask for any type of money nor did I offer offspring for sale. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but I'm looking for NO PROFIT out of these guys, just a new venture.

Re: Looking for Lep's Please Read.

I've read the posts as well but as I have no Leopard Geckos at all, I had none to adopt out. I think many people have been concerned because many times, when you get adoptions from rescues or sometimes even pet stores, the animals are not in the best of health and therefore it's not really recommended to breed them because they are unhealthy. Breeding unhealthy animals is not safe for them. If you do still plan on breeding, I would get them all checked out by a certified herp vet to make sure they are free of parasites and other illnesses. Plus you'd want them to be the appropriate size and weight. Also waiting until they are settled into their environments so it doesn't further stress them out.

Nobody meant to sound like they were jumping down your throat or verbally attacking you. HC and its members take care to make sure those herp keepers in the community give their animals the very best care and do what's right for them. It's why we're here. Sometimes we may sound harsh but its because we care about the animals and want our members to realize that. Many members are very passionate about the care and well being of herps.
