Hallo, Jurgen! Wilkommen bei GeckoForums.net!

 

[Mel&Keith]

Welcome! I can't wait to see some photos of your collection.

 

[jogi1907]

Thank you, Danke schön. I need a little time to put more photos in the forum, I just moved in an other house - more space for the animals. There are three photos of my first enigma, two houres after he hatched in the photo gallery.

Hello. Welcome to Geckoforums! That's cool that your from Germany, my mom was born there. Very nice collection you have there! Hope to see pics soon! By-the-way, I'm Emma, nice to meet you! *Shakes hand* So, do you plan to add any leopard geckos to your pack? I'm just going to warn you, they are as addicting as all those other geckos you have.

Emma

Thank you Emma, nice to meet you to.
sorry I wrote 4.18.14 Eublepharis macularius which is just the latin name for Leopardgecko. I still have 64 Leopardgeckoeggs in the inkubator. They are addicting!!!
Where in germany is your mom born?

Oh, I am not very good with latin names. That's a avery nice collection you have got going there.

Germany, I have no clue where in Germany my mom was born. I'll get some info off her when she returns home.

 

[jogi1907]

[Bling_my_leo]

Do you speak greman?

No, only english. See, my mom is not from Germany, (well none of my family), she was just born their. So we are all Americans.....

 

[jogi1907]

hi to ole home country

Hallo Juergen,

ich bin Christina aus Duesseldorf (die laengste Theke der Welt!!), aber ich lebe und arbeite in Illinois seit 2006. Ich hab 9 Geckos (und mehr sind auf dem Wege), 1 Siamkatze, 3 Aquarien und zwei Schnauzer. Ich war noch nie auf der Terraristika in Hamm, obwohl ich praktisch daneben gewohnt habe!! So 'ne Schande. Viel Spass mit dem GeckoForum. Es ist wirklich sehr hilfreich. Ich haette da reingucken sollen, bevor ich meinen Kaefig mit Holzspaene auslegte... Alles Gute, Chrissy

 

[Bling_my_leo]

LZRDGRL, you speak German? That's pretty cool.

Hi Bling,

I AM German ;-) But I've been living in the US for two years now (and studied here 11 years ago). I'm from Duesseldorf. Would you believe I've lived almost next to Hamm and never went to the reptile exhibition there?!? What a great opportunity.

Does anybody know any details about exporting geckos to/from Germany? What about quarantine when one wants to bring them into the US? I imagine it is quite difficult to transport geckos on the airplane. And probably quite expensive, too. I travel to Germany every year around Christmas and would like to know if it's possible/affordable to transport geckos by air. Or can one get one or two through customs in the carry-on luggage?

Chrissy

 

[jogi1907]

Thanks to everybody for the welcome threads!!! Thats nice.

Bling_my_leo: I know Augsburg, it is a nice town. Pretty old!
LZRDGRL: Sorry I don´t know anything about exporting geckos. I´ve just imported some to germany, but not on my own. I believe that it can´t be too difficult - but I doesn´t realy know.

Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Wait.......I'm faking the German......thanks to Chrissy's (hopefully) nice in German welcome.
I just kinda plugged my changes in where her English was. Hope it may
have brought a laugh or at least a smile to your face.....or to a couple Forum Members...and I hope nothing I said has reason to make my face red, or get kicked off this forum.......Welcome Take care..... / HJ
Viel Spass mit dem GeckoForum
