5 out of 6 leos...

[gko reptiles]

I'd like to start this forum off with a memorial to the 5 leo's that passed away during the shipping nightmare that you've all heard about on a seperate portion of this site. Here are the pictures that we posted on the classified ads when they were for sale. These are the only pictures we've got left; the only pictures that were taken when they were still with us... (The gecko on the right side of the top picture is the only one who survived the trip; she is currently back in her original rack space and doing extremely well.)

What a needless tragedy to lose such lovely geckos... I can only imagine how heartsick you were. I'm glad the single survivor is doing well!

Thanks Marcia; until that day I'd never seen a grown man cry... But as they say, they've moved on to a better place!! Sayings like that tend to keep your sanity...

Poor little guys and gals. They were so pretty. I am glad the last one is doing good though

Sad that it all happened and I cannot even think of how Phillip felt when he got to them to make a personal delivery and opened the box to find only the 1 alive. I would have been devastated as I am sure he and you are as well.

I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad the one is doing well. It's things like this that make me so nervous about shipping geckos. I have not shiped any yet as I have not sold any yet but I am seriously considering only doing shows and not online business. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
