I'll be gone the last week of October for 5 days.

What I'll need is someone to...
Take eggs out of the lay boxes (I'll have six breeding females at max)
Put them in the incubator properly, and labeled.
Take babies OUT of the incubator, and put them in the correct bins (They'll be labeled as well)
Feed, clean, etc.

I'd leave them home alone if they weren't breeding, using the tupperware feeder method, but because I'll be gone for a while, I don't want to risk losing any eggs.

I'll be taking my special needs leopard gecko, GiGi, with me. No one can handle her care. She needs to be hand fed, hand watered, taken to the vet for a shot on that week, aided with shedding, and her constant regurgitation when she eats anything. She alone, I'd have to pay someone big to care for her. So she's coming to Vegas with me and my Fiance for our birthdays.

I'm looking now so that when the time comes, I'll KNOW who can take care of them. I don't like waiting til the last minute and having someone with no experience come in and mess everything up.

The payment can either be $40, or two babies. $40 mainly because I don't carry cash, that's the most I'd have. And the two babies because let's face it, you'll need to come by the house once a day to check on things, and two babies would be a great pay.

The babies will be either
HISS Electric Tang x Tang
' ' x SHTCTB
' ' x TUG Carrot Tails

I'd give you the pick. Of coarse you can't take two of the best, Lol. But you can have one of the best and one of the tangs. Or you can opt for just one. Whatever you'd like.

I live in Escondido, CA. Right where the 78 ends near the Ramona exit off of Centre City Pkwy.

Send me a PM or post in here. I'll get to it some how. I just really need a sitter.

The total number of geckos will be 2.6 plus whatever babies have hatched out in the couple weeks before.

I'll have feeders set up, I breed most of my feeders, and I'd have a cricket card for you to go to the local LLL Reptile to pick up some crickets.

Thanks to anyone who'd offer assistance.

You put a ton of worms in a tupperware container, cut a hole in the side, and leave it in there.

It's worked for me every time I left for vacation. They go in and eat whenever they want. There's usually a couple worms left when I return.

Well, once school starts for you, it'll go by faster than you know. Lol. And you'll get some geckos you've been dying to get!

October's a busy month for me.

Oct 16th is our birthday party Halloween themed as always
Oct 17th my dads birthday
Oct 19th my birthday (19 on the 19th! Woo!) and my cousins birthday
Oct 26th - 30th, maybe 31st we'll be in Vegas.

Busiest month for me, then my grandparents tell me we're going to vegas for a week? I'm too busy for that! But I made it work. Lol.
