Okay guys, sorry this is a little later than I wanted it to be. Below are the rules and explanations involved in the GeckoForums Secret Santa Exchange:

All Members 18 And Older With 20+ Postings Can Join.
Sign-ups close on November 24, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. CST



------------------------------------------------------------------​

<<<<<RULES>>>>>
-International members are encouraged to join
-You must be 18 years or older
-You ARE allowed to ask for live animals*
-Remember everyone has a budget, so make your list as wide as can be. You can have expensive items on it, but please be sure to add affordable things as well.
-Everyone who participates WILL both send, and receive gifts. Failure to send out a Secret Santa present will have consequences.**
-That’s all! Have fun and spread the word!!


--------------------------------------------------------------------​

If you are able to send an animal and still want to remain private, I will talk with the recipient to set up a time and date.

Send Me, Khrysty, the following information (in a PM)*

  • -Your name and age.
    -Your [shipping] address.
    -Your Christmas wish list**
    -Whether you’re willing to send out of the U.S. and/or World Wide.
    -The amount of money you can spend on the exchange (not including shipping cost)
    -Anything you may be planning to give in the exchange (don't worry about this if you just want to buy something on your person's list)
    -Last but not least, so I can make sure, everyone has a chance to receive what they want (hopefully), if you'd be able to give an animal.

Sign-ups close on November 24, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. CST

------
* Please only ask for a gecko if you have a gecko family of less than 5. The same goes for those wanting snakes, frogs, etc. This way, each person who has a small collection stands a greater chance of receiving an animal.
**There have been problems with people not receiving their gifts in the past. As this is incredibly unfair, we have taken some more precautions as far as restrictions on ages and posts go. Remember, if you're going to sign up, you are committing to sending a gift as well as receiving one.
-Secret Santa gifts should be delivered to the recipient by Christmas (December 25), at the very latest.
-If the gift is going to be later than that, the sender should contact me so I can tell the recipient (or the sender may tell the recipient directly).
-If I’m not contacted by the sender, I will contact them.
-Failure to send a gift by December 31, will result in your name being added to the "Naughty List." Those on the list will be excluded from any future exchanges.
***I will keep all personal information between you, your Secret Santa, and myself.

If you have any questions, post them here and I'll help answer them.

Also! I forgot to mention: if we don't get at least 10 sign ups by November 30, we won't be having the exchange. And the more members that sign up, the more likely everyone is to get paired with the right person.

Not asking for me but about this... Please only ask for a gecko if you have a gecko family of less than 5. The same goes for those wanting snakes, frogs, etc. This way, each person who has a small collection stands a greater chance of receiving an animal.

Do you mean 5 total or 5 Leos? Or if you have 5 Leos but are hoping for an AFT... I have 5 geckos the break down being 2 leos 2 vipers and an AFT. Not sure I make sense.

Would love to join the list but i guess im disqualified due to lack of posts.... I guess i just like reading more than putting in my two cents....im older so money is not an issue...Really like the idea of getting mystery gecko in the mail... I only have 2 leo's in my family so far...would be willing to get one from a breeder i know for an exchange...... hmmm.
I guess i better make about 7 more posts and sign up!

I really just mean be reasonable about it. If you have a small colony of [insert species here] and want another animal to add to it, it isn't as fair for you to receive the animal if another person who doesn't have this particular species yet would receive it through the exchange instead.

Does that make sense?

For those of you who sent me PMs in the last couple of days: I'm not ignoring you, I promise! I've just been really busy and Secret Santa organization has had to take a backseat to schoolwork. I'll get to them soon and once I add your information I'll send you a PM confirming it.

This shouldn't stop anyone from signing up, though. The exchange is still happening :)

Well I am kinda disappointed. I was in the easter event this year with no problems. But I am not eligible for this event due to the age restrictions. Is this because "kids" did not send out gifts? Because I remember you said 18 or older unless you have consent from an adult.

Let me send you a PM about it, Luke.
