It has worked very well for me, the only thing is that it says it includes the batterie and in the case of mine the batterie that "came included" was almost totally drained, I had to add the cost of a new 9V batterie, but it wasn´t that much, I´ve had it for over a year now and I really can´t complain

For that price I would not care if it came with batteries. Awesome bargain.:cheer:

awesome Saskia thank you so much! Thank goodness!
I was having a hard time finding one and also understanding which type was the best to use, lol and theres no possible way i would find one in my area. I am ordering that this friday when I get paid. The price of both of Rex's surgeries, new set up, dont forget all the supplements and medicines-it really wreaked havoc on my bank account. :(
My list of things I have to get this friday includes 2 new hides (one for female tank), silkworms, and this gun, hurry up friday!

I can imagine!! Try it when you receive it and if there is any problem it´s most likely the battery

I confess to holding and petting him and checking him out for a good half hour last night. The wound is really healing up fast. The doc put the sutures more on the inside of the vent. I was concerned it was too small for him to poop- but I found poop yesterday too so thats good.
I just couldn't take him pressing his hands on the tank staring at me. He is so sweet that its weird, almost cuddly. lol! My female is not friendly at all by comparison.

Jump on that temp gun Saskia mentioned on Friday. I did not want to scare you with an over priced item, so I figured someone will come up with a cheaper solution. Great to hear things are looking more promising this time.:)

LOL Thanks!! That is one of my favorite one's by essie called "cute as a button" hahah
I hope he likes these silkworms. He is not such a great hunter, takes 3 strikes to get a cricket/mealworm.

Don't baby them, they will get fat and lazy. It's okay if they miss sometimes. They will get better at it eventually. Unless of course they have problems with their vision or they are disabled. Let them use their hunting instinct. Just give them about an hour and only help as a last resort. Just my opinion and of course you have the last say in your geckos.

Rex goes to get his stitches out tomorrow. Wish us luck!!
I am thinking is it such a bad idea to just leave the darn stitches in so they can never fall out again?
