Finding Homes

[EnchantmentGecko]

Ok, so my first hatchlings showed up a few days ago, now they are trying to out eat their parents , and I was wondering what a fair price would be to ask for them on the cheaper end. I won't be selling them for several months (I'd like to know their sex before I send them to a new home) but I wanted to have some idea.

1. They're just run of the mill normals, pretty but not fancy.

2. I don't have the faintest idea what their parents' lineage is (I got them from a local lady who breeds boas and didn't have room or time for them).

3. I absolutely will not ship them, I have no experience with it and would like to know whose got them.

4. I am no where near any expos and have no money to go to one yet.

Advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
EJ

you can sell normals for 20-25 bucks each and post em on craigslist as an animal you have to "re home" and say pick up only

Hopefully. If I do it that way whats a good age to let them go so they'll be easy for anyone to take care of? I've never had babies so am currently learning the ins and outs but I've no idea if they're easy to care for young.

They can be "rehomed" at a minimum of 6 weeks and 15 grams in my opinion (I'd go with the weight before the age).

Hm, I still have to get a scale. Since my trio didn't breed last year I wasn't expecting eggs this year so I'm a little lacking on equipment. Recommendations on a good scale that won't cost me an arm and a leg? I have a son that will soon be crawling and walking so I can't have one that I have to baby.

When housing males and females together, you will usually get eggs. I know you did not last year but you needed to be ready for it this year.

Y can get a digital gram scale at Walmart for around $10. Look in the kitchen section.

They have never been separated so it seemed highly unlikely that after an entire year with no sign of egg or breeding that they would breed. Also I had only just sold the incubator at the beginning of May when there was again no sign of breeding or egg laying. It seemed a little late in the season and the females are 7 or 8 years old and it became a reasonable guess they would not breed. I'll remove the male next year and retire them so they won't have to go through it again.

Thank you, getgeckos, I'll look next time I have to go to town.
