Give me three more posts and I'll go off on hyposhawn. He's been irritating me the last month. Haha. For SOO many things. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

How have I been irratating you? I want to know why and i'll fix it. I do not want to get banned and I'm sure you don't either.

Honestly, I'll tell you straight up. In a no attitude way. JUST because you asked.

You post 1 word replies. Or replies like "yeah, what he/she said." "I agree" "interesting".

If a thread has been relied to and answered, then there's no reason to post again, unless if you have a whole other opinion on the subject.

Also with your posts on bringing old threads back. If a thread has been answered, and it's two or three days old, don't bring it back. Never bring anything back. If it really was important, it wouldn't of died. If it wasn't answered, then the creator of the thread should bring it back. If they don't bring it back, it's their loss.

Posting every day is fine. But you don't need to be the last post on every thread every time. New posts are being posted, and THEY need to be answered, not posts that are a week old or have already been answered.

Do you understand what I'm getting at?

Yes. I just say I agree so they know more people are agreeing to the answers to find a solution. And please don't tell me to stop posting on the end of threads. I have a point to make. Also I don't pay attention to the date.

Another thing, Allee. I don't go on the forums to goof around. I go on them to infom people. Why can't I be the last on every thread. I spend a lot of time on this forum and I have to reply to help.

Hyposhawn, I think the point that Allee is trying to make is that you tend to over do it a bit. You've only been a member for 2 months and you've already made more posts than many of the members that have been here for years. It's not the number of posts that makes you useful around here, it's the quality and content of the posts. So, next time, before you post, perhaps try to consider if the post you're making is really helping by contributing to the thread. Or is it just agreeing with what's already been said. If you're not actually contributing something new to the thread, it's probably not really necessary to make the post.

With that being said, let's please put an end to this conversation and move on. It's getting old having perfectly good threads highjacked for personal crap. The mods are going to start cracking down on people who disrupt the flow of the forums. And that's directed at everyone...not just one person in particular.

The eggciting part will be seeing what cool little geckos hatch out of them eggs. I am crossing a Super Snow (het bell) with a Mack snow and a Bell Albino. I just can't wait to see their cute little faces.

I spent an hour at one ofthe local places looking at their newly hatched Tornado leos. One can never get tired of baby geckos.

I am wondering what the babies will be if I mate the Super Snow to my Tangerine girl :)

Lol. I suck at morphs and genetics. I just get things that are cute.

Like I'll be breeding my GiGi (lvpa) with a Mack Snow Las Vegas Patternless Albino next month. I'm going to a show to pick her up a boyfriend.

So I'll have 50% of each (or so I've been told). I don't plan on selling them. I only want to keep two or three, so I'll probably post on here giving them away. =] I don't think you should breed for money, but only for the love of the animal. (yeah, blah blah, I'm an animal love. Lol.)
So head up!! If you want a LVPA or a MSLVPA. Lol. They'll be up for grabs in two months. Or however long it takes her to lay all her eggs. Haha. She'll be mating last week of june first week of july.

Very Tempting!

I love to breed and raise reptiles, I hope to be able to have a self supporting hobby. I know that parting with my little ones will be very hard for me. The rough part of keeping geckos, you can only support so many before your over run and overwhelmed.

I have all my leos in nice Pet style setups and people are always telling me to put them into a boring plastic tub rack system. I love watching them and you can't see them through the darn plastic tubs.

Yeah, I don't think it's right to breed and not know the personalities of your animal. Everyone's all "that's the norm." or "that's out of character" well, GiGi isn't exactly "normal" and that's because I catered to her. I developed her personality. She was my first gecko for almost a year (her first birthday is May 18th! Yay!). So she was spoiled. She will ALWAYS be the top gecko. Because she was my first. And the most demanding. Not to mention all the vet trips I go through with her. Haha. But it doesn't effect her breeding. Her babies should be fine. It's all from her Salmonella infection. It's hell to get rid of.
Anyways, if you can't afford to spend time with each gecko 1 on 1, then there's no real affection and love for the animal. How can you say you love an animal, but you don't even know their personality? It's retarded in my book.

Yup, my 1st leo Suzaku is a very spoiled beast. She is my Diva gecko, and she lives up to it. Seiryu is is my shy retiring and silly gecko. Sabimaru is bold, always coming out to investigate people, she hates being picked up but loves to have people pet her. Yahiko is a wild one, she doesn't like any physical contact or sudden movement. She is always on the prowl looking for food at night.

i can't imagine not knowing the quirks of each gecko. I am loving have the 2 new males, each one is unique :)

I love their personalities.

A few people, well more than a few, on here say "geckos are to be looked at. Not handled". pshhht. That's THEIR opinion. =[ I can't imagine not holding the geckos. Lol.

When I have lots of little babies, lots of people will have pieces of GiGi. Lol! I hope her personality goes through to them. I know temperament is genetic. =D

I say it is up to the gecko, or other lizard, if it wants to be held or not. Suzaku will actually beg to be picked up now and then, she will go to her water dish and scratch at it, it makes a very obvious sound i will find her waiting to be picked up. She practically runs onto my hand. Other times she doesn't want to be held she will hide under her rock when I put my hand in her cage.

I even have a green anole female who likes to be picked up, she will jump onto my hand and hang out with me. When she is done she will jump back over to her home, if I leave it open she will actually go home on her own. I have never seen a green anole so friendly before I have had them since I was 8.

I feel sorry for people getting Suzaku babies if her temperment comes out in her offspring. She is a pain to feed, she will randomly snub various food items for no obvious reason. Then she will hold out, for weeks if needed, to get something she wants to eat. Somehow she can tell the difference between a large mealworm and superworm. She hates mealworms and will not eat them. She loves superworms, they are the only feeder she will take on a regular basis.

Yup i know, I always have them on because they are tough and a guaranteed feed for almost all my leos. Most of their food comes in the form of roaches and crickets.
