Hello,

is it just me, or is the "HELP LEOPARD GECKO BITING HIS KNEE OFF" post an inappropriate first thing for people to see upon discovering this site?

It would make me wonder why the heck i started to be interested in geckos to begin with. Who would want to keep a creature that bites his appendages off?

I know fully that this site is not intended to "sugar coat" gecko ownership, but such an a-typical behavior seems strange to be the welcome board for this amazing site.

Maybe I'm wrong, but first impressions count in my book!

Agreed.

Sorry, I don't enter the site at the Home Page, I come in direct to the forums. So, I didn't notice that those were there. It's a symptom of people not being able to figure out how to post in the forums, so they post their questions as a "member article". I've asked Marty several times in the past if we could change the set up to make it easier for newbies to find their way to the forums. I guess I need to ask him again. Next time you notice something odd or out of place like that, feel free to PM me and let me know.

thanks Ethan, lol. I wasn't trying to be rude, but that is a doozy of an article to say the least!
